I don’t even know if there’s a driving range open in California. They’ve got cops going to courses left and right shutting them down. I’m thankful there’s a private club in my town letting members just go out and walk...no carts. They are pretending to be closed. My game has been on fire these last two weeks with all the free time I’ve had to play. I’m 4 under in the last 5 rounds I’ve played. I played collegiate golf and now at 37 I am seriously considering just sticking with it again and trying to make my lifetime goal of playing on the Senior PGA tour :lol I’ll have Coronavirus to thank if I make it.

Its a wonderful dream.
One that will be hard to achieve.
I saw the Senior pros when they played at Lakeway. There was a serious difference between what they had and what I had.
Years ago when I was your age I carried a 4-legit from the back tees-a 7200 yard course did not scare me.
Those 13 years are brutal between 37 and 50.
My advice-work harder than ever to stay in shape and be fit.
I found my strength and nerve left in those years.
Many years later I can get around in the low 80s from the middle tees.
There is nothing like a pure 4 iron to a par 5 that lands soft and gives you a shot at eagle.
Good luck with your dream.

Wine and spirits distribution is essential in Texas.

(By contrast, Pennsylvania is a control state and shut down all the state bottle shops. A black market arose pretty much instantly.)

Hey. I started a response the other day, then got too wordy explaining the situation so I abandoned it. I'm in IT, for a grocery retailer here in Texas and we're in the process of building a buying system for Fresh (refrigerated) procurement. Basically just giving the buyers more data about current/expected inventory, forecast based on movement, competitive cost/retails etc. Produce is already using iTrade for cost/po cutting, but they have no additional information so they're going to multiple systems. Trying to streamline the business process by aggregating all of the data into one place when they're making a buying decision. Supposedly iTrade offers components to do some of this stuff so deciding to build or buy. I was looking for a supplier's perspective. Thanks is for the info.

Walmart has tech support, server operators (if you want to call that IT; but that's low-paying IT) all over the U.S. and at or near most major cities in Texas and the U.S., that much is certain.

But the vast majority (>95%) of their high-paying C-level jobs in IT (project managers, developers, data analysts, software engineers etc), finance, accounting, executive leadership et al. is in podunk-ass......... Bentonville, Arkansas. And the proud-ass Walton family wants to keep it that way for the foreseeable future.

You have to take sketchy back roads to get there from just about anywhere, since it's not really connected to the interstate from most directions. The kind of two-lane, two-way, one-lane-each roads that I tend to stay the 'F' away from.

You probably work in IT the same way Andy works in IT.
$388,000 / 52 = $7,461.53 gross earnings from this past week on my end, not bad. Unfortunately it'll very soon drop to $248,000 / 52 = $4,769.23 gross when company H gives me the axe for bench time sometime this next week in early April, but I guess I can manage for the time being.
