On Monday, we held our first (what we hope is annual) "Mini Merrill" competition! There were 12 different teams and each team had to create and execute their own mini golf hole. Our amazing team members blew our expectations out of the water with what they produced! It was so fun to play the course and it was followed by an awesome happy hour where we announced our winners. We are already excited for next time!

The Transformative Power of Home Golf Nets
Introduction: Unleash the full potential of your golf game with a home golf net—a powerful tool that transcends the boundaries of traditional practice. In this blog, we'll delve into how the transformative power of a home golf net can elevate your skills, boost your confidence, and revolutionize your overall approach to the game.
1. Holistic Skill Development: A home golf net provides the ideal environment for holistic skill development. Whether you're perfecting your drives, honing your iron play, or focusing on precise putting, the net offers a comprehensive training ground that caters to every aspect of your game. This holistic approach ensures that you become a well-rounded and versatile golfer.
2. Personalized Challenges and Goal Setting: Take control of your golf journey by setting personalized challenges and goals with a home golf net. Whether it's achieving a specific driving distance or consistently sinking putts from a designated distance, the net allows you to tailor your practice sessions to meet your unique objectives. This personalized approach fosters a sense of accomplishment and progression.
3. Mental Toughness and Focus Improvement: Golf is as much a mental game as it is physical. A home golf net provides an environment where you can cultivate mental toughness and enhance your focus. By blocking out external distractions and honing in on your swings, you'll develop the mental resilience required to navigate the challenges of the golf course with confidence.
4. Simulation of Real-Game Scenarios: Modern home golf nets are designed to simulate real-game scenarios. This means you can practice under conditions that closely mimic those you'll encounter on the golf course. From uneven lies to varying wind conditions, the net prepares you for the unexpected, ensuring that you step onto the course well-prepared and self-assured.
5. Confidence Building and Performance Enhancement: Consistent practice with a home golf net builds confidence. As you witness tangible improvements in your skills, your confidence on the course will soar. This increased confidence translates into enhanced performance, enabling you to approach each shot with assurance and poise.
Conclusion: The transformative power of a home golf net goes beyond just honing your swings. It's a catalyst for holistic skill development, personalized challenges, mental toughness, realistic scenario simulation, and confidence building. Elevate your golf game to new heights by integrating a home golf net into your training routine and experience the profound impact it can have on your journey to golfing excellence.

Overcoming adversity is a key component of success, and Tiger Woods is a prime example of this. This week, he broke another record at the Masters by securing 24 consecutive cuts made. But his success wasn't handed to him on a silver platter. As a junior player, Tiger and his father faced discrimination and couldn't access most golf courses and their facilities. Despite this, Tiger didn't let adversity stand in the way of his greatness.
Instead, he arrived at the golf course and asked two simple questions: "Where is the first tee box?" and "What is the course record?" He was determined to rewrite history every time he went out. And it worked. Most of those golf courses still have Tiger Woods today as the course record holder.
The lesson here is clear: it is your response when dealing with adversity that will determine the outcome and nothing else. Well done Tiger, you are still so relevant today. We continue to write you off, and you simply respond. Let's all take a page out of his book and face adversity head-on with determination and resilience.
Maroon’s win 6-5 to bring our record to 4-1, but I want to delve deeper into my Derby victory and my investment angles…
I have been betting on horses for well over two decades, along with sports, stocks and just about anything I feel like I have an edge on, so here it is.
I’ve been successful consistently in two races over the years, the Kentucky Derby and the Haskell, but on big race days overall like the Breeders Cup I usually don’t do as well.
Case in Point they are both 3 year old races, meaning they can only race it once in their careers…
With the exception of Citi during the 2000’s which I would trade between levels I rarely ever go back to a stock.
My investment philosophy works for me, and it definitely pushes me more towards real estate then liquid options, since I don’t have the time or energy to keep up with the data…
That’s why I find managers I trust when I diversify!
how about you? What do you do yourself and what do you rely on others to do investment wise?

Scottie Scheffler's recent victory at the Augusta Masters wasn't just a stroke of luck; it was the culmination of dedication, perseverance, and an unwavering belief in his ability to succeed. As we reflect on his journey to the green jacket, it becomes evident that Scheffler was destined for greatness from the start.
In the wake of his triumph, Dylan Dethier's poignant reflection on the pursuit of excellence resonates deeply. Indeed, golf, much like life itself, is a relentless pursuit—a journey marked by highs and lows, triumphs and setbacks. Scheffler's own words echo this sentiment as he emphasizes the importance of attitude and approach over mere results.
The parallels between Scheffler's philosophy and Dethier's insights are striking. Just as life is a game of pursuit, so too is golf—a game where imperfection is not a flaw to be corrected but rather an integral part of the journey. Scheffler's focus on maintaining a positive attitude and relentless determination mirrors the ethos of continuous improvement and self-discovery that resonates with professionals across all walks of life.
Moreover, Scheffler's commitment to growth and self-mastery is evident in his approach to addressing skill gaps—a strategy that he shares with us in his quest for excellence. By seeking feedback, identifying weaknesses, and dedicating focused practice time, Scheffler exemplifies the qualities of a true champion—one who is always striving to better themselves, both on and off the course.
In hindsight, it's clear that Scheffler's victory at the Masters was not a matter of chance but rather the culmination of years of hard work, determination, and an unwavering belief in his ability to succeed. As we celebrate his triumph, let us not only marvel at his skill on the course but also draw inspiration from his journey—a journey marked by resilience, perseverance, and an unyielding commitment to greatness.
Congratulations, Scottie Scheffler, on your well-deserved victory. Your journey serves as a testament to the power of belief, perseverance, and the unwavering pursuit of excellence.
