I’m blessed to travel & have stayed at 5* hotels. I have listened to these conversations. It makes a difference.
The richest man in the world in the 1960s said the way back from $0 starts with 1 uncomfortable step. It's free, it takes no skill, and most people would rather stay broke than take it.
Aristotle Onassis said that if he ever went flat broke, he wouldn't look for a job or a loan. He would go wherever wealthy people gather, a restaurant, a club, a yacht club, and simply sit in the same room with them. No meetings, no pitching, not even a conversation. Kevin Trudeau says Onassis learned it inside a secret society.
The reason sounds strange, until you remember how Walt Disney started.
Disney was flat broke when he started telling people he was going to build a city. He couldn't even pay his rent. To anyone listening, it made no sense: a man behind on rent, describing a whole city of his own. That city became Disneyland.
That's what Onassis would have been after in those rooms. Sit long enough near people who think in big numbers, and your own idea of what's possible starts to stretch. But a big dream and a dream world are different things: one builds Disneyland, the other just makes you delusional. So the room has to be full of people who have actually made money, not people who only talk about it.
The plan was never about getting a seat at their table, only about being close enough to hear how they think.
Somewhere tonight, a broke 24-year-old is nursing a $6 coffee in a 5-star hotel lobby, listening to strangers talk about deals worth millions.
Find your lobby this week, and save this post for the day you need the push.
Pro only A-Tier an hour from me this weekend. It’s at SC’s most difficult course, Holston Creek. A -6 rated 1050, +6 is 997. I’ve played it a handful of times. My best round on the short course is +17. The worst FPO score was +16 & rated 892. pdga.com/live/event/98063/le…
Back in the spring, when I was having major stomach issues, I was sent for immediate scan. They discovered a tumor in my kidney that was removed in July. Stomach issues weren’t related to the tumor. 1/3
The stomach issues still show up for about 3 days every couple of weeks. I had blood work done early this week. Doc thinks I have celiac disease. I’m having a colonoscopy in a couple of weeks. 2/3
When I bought this basket when a local course upgraded, I did it more to support the club’s effort than anything else. I have found I enjoy putting practice more with a regulation sized basket than a lighter weight portable.
I was told if I vote early, the robo-calls from political parties would end. I voted Monday. I went from dozens of spam calls to just 2 yesterday.
I’m getting my practice area ready for the winter. Thought I’d lost or misplaced 2 discs. I was looking for a Yellow ColorGlow PA5 & a Red K1 Grind Stig. Well the Stig is pink & so is the ColorGlow PA5. It helps if I actually know the color of the discs I’m looking for.
The average household in the U.S. has had an inflation adjusted increase of $109 in income since 2022. Those same households have an average increase of $114 of month expenses over the same period.
I just read a report that says private equity firms that buy homes are losing money on rents & can’t recoup their cost by selling the properties. Most because these firms are one of the reasons homes prices have soared.
I have no pity for them.
I bought a disc on a DG auction site 10 days ago. Paid for it immediately. Saw the same disc listed today. I reached out the seller. He said he was unaware that I had paid. I sent him my confirmation. Disc is now being shipped. 1/2
If money was the same across the board for traveling pros, which brand would most player end up throwing?

Quick round with youngest this evening. He’s got to the point he only plays when he is getting ready for a tournament. He is playing Myrtle Beach Open A-Tier in 2 weeks.
I grew up a Minnesota Vikings fan. I still remember losing our 4th Super Bowl, I was 7. That being said, the Vikings have to be one of the most surprising last standing undefeated team at 6-0 in NFL history.
My football teams went 3-1 this weekend.
Vikings won
South Carolina won
University of Minnesota won
Walhalla High School lost
Overall a good weekend.
