Most important logo rule is never driver cover for club you're not a member of. 3-wood is marginal, hybrid definitely ok. Putter cover if you went low.
Not the biggest fan of headcovers of clubs you’re not a member of - better for hats / polos not stuff that’s in your bag every round. Also too many woods

Interesting data and NYC is clearly killing it. Austin…the smallest MSA in the list, yet top five in 5 of 7 categories and number 3 in hardtech. Prediction…central TX will be the top advanced manufacturing hub of the US in 5 years.
The latest Carta data on $70B invested into Seed through Series C startups in 2025 highlights something many of us in NYC see every day. NYC is now: • #1 in Fintech • #1 in Consumer • #2 overall startup ecosystem • Top 2 in AI, SaaS, Biotech, and Healthtech But the most interesting takeaway isn’t the rankings, it’s the supply and demand imbalance. Founder demand in NYC still significantly exceeds early-stage VC supply. Which makes NYC one of the largest structural arbitrage opportunities in venture today. šŸ‘‡šŸ¾šŸ‘‡šŸ¾šŸ‘‡šŸ¾

Rest in peace, James Van Der Beek. 48 years old. Six children. Stage 3 colorectal cancer. This is the part that keeps me up at night. An unfortunate trend we're seeing in our clinics in the last few years is that cancer is increasingly hitting younger people. Yet, we're still not asking why. We're still catching it too late and treating it with the same playbook. We're not asking what's changed in our environment, our food, our immune systems that's allowing this to happen to people in the prime of their lives. A father shouldn't have to sell memorabilia to pay for cancer treatment. A family shouldn't lose their dad at 48. We have to do better.
James’ six kids are now without their father. In the last two years, he had to sell his Dawson’s Creek memorabilia to help pay for his cancer treatment. His castmates had to put on a show to help cover his medical expenses. There was absolutely no reason Sony Pictures (which owns Dawson’s Creek) couldn’t have quietly paid for his treatment, considering how much the show has made for them over the years, long after it ended. Now his wife, Kimberly, is a widow with six children. I realize she may be better off than some, but it’s still a pretty awful situation given how much money the show generated.

Since this story, Arch Manning put up 2,362 total yards 21 TDs 3 TOs 62% completion 7-1 record
From @TheAthletic: Many people are having a bad year in college football, but Arch Manning is having one of the worst. The quarterback has gone from preseason Heisman Trophy favorite and projected No. 1 NFL Draft pick to a man synonymous with failure. nyti.ms/4q0ie4A

A Christmas morning reflection… 95% By the time your child turns 18, you've spent ~95% of the time you will ever spend with them in your lifetime. There are specific windows, much shorter than you care to admit, during which certain people and relationships will occupy your life. You may have only one more summer with all of your siblings. Two more trips with that old group of friends. A few more years with your grandpa. A handful of encounters with that coworker you love. One more long walk with your parents. If you fail to appreciate these windows, they will quickly disappear. Time Wealth is about an awareness of these windows. But more importantly, it’s about taking action against that awareness. It's about recognizing that you are in more control of your time than you realize. That you can take actions to create time with the people you love most. That you can bend these curves. That 95% is an average—and you’ve never wanted to be average in anything your entire life. So, show up to that recital. Plan that trip with old friends. Grab that quick coffee. Go on that walk with your parents. Have that meal with your sibling. In the end, it's not about the journey, it's not about the destination, it's about the company. The people along the way. Cherish the people and the rest will fall into place as it should.
