Some Golf and Some Essays – And A Bogey Free 63

One of the most popular people on Coronado is Brian Smock.

Brian was the one that taught Max how to play golf for life. Max has this simple, perfect, compact, on plane swing.

Locked down on the island this summer, I have treated myself to a few golf lessons with Brian. I am a mental mess with the club the last few years and I needed some help. Each week I spend an hour with Brian and we are starting to make enough progress that I enjoy playing again.

Yesterday we went out for a late afternoon 18 holes at San Diego Country Club.

He put on a golf clinic with a bogey free 63.

If you see this guy…do NOT play him for money:

If you see his son Ty…ask for an autograph.

Onwards…

I have a ton of reading to catch up on these days. Here are two Ben Thompson essays I am about to read:

Antitrust Politics and,

India, Jio and the four Internets.

I had Alex Danco on my podcast today who is a fantastic writer and technology thinnker and works at Shopify. I did not get a chance to talk about these two essays, so I thought I would share them:

The Freud Moment, and

Never Hertz to Ask.

Have a great day.
