What would you recommend for someone in their first year?

Find your swing.

A swinging motion is centrifugal. It’s continuous.

Find the feel that allows you to truly swing.

1. Tee shots in play.
2. Avoid penalties.
3. Develop putting, chipping, and pitching.

Golf is hard.

One lesson a month with interval practice is plenty.

Find some drills like “feet together” , “reverse the loop”, etc that train you to feel the swing. Get an orange whip and a grip trainer.

Understand that golf has randomness always.

[quote]I like houses significantly better than playing in the stock market,[/

It sounds like you know what you are doing.

I’d be lost in rental real estate.

continue to grow more aggressively than any other complicated/risky venture.

“Grow more aggressively” and “risky venture.”

There is no free lunch as far as risk goes.

It sounds like you have some aptitude for building/flipping houses.

Of course, there were some things that inflated home prices since 2019.

There may be periods where housing prices are not booming.

Sometimes people end up doing something that works at just the right time.
Sometimes doing the same thing at the wrong time can be less profitable.

Like anything else, “at the right price” it can be profitable.


I don’t think it is easy.

Even at the right price.

I guess those they have an aptitude for real estate might do better than I would.

I own the house I live in, but even that has more costs than I want sometimes.

It’s more trouble than it’s worth.

People could disagree about stuff back then and still be friends.

Now politics is more like a religion for some people.

If you don’t endorse all of their ideas, thoughts, actions, you must be canceled.

don't know about my game but hitting off mats hurts my body.

When we are on mats, I limit my swings with irons or wedges.

I ended up with tendinitis in my elbow last year and it was related to hitting irons off mats.
