![]() This is another major expense for players and is usually the biggest chunk of their budget. Unfortunately, for professional golfers, PGA tournaments do not cover the hotel bill for their players. So, while your average professional golfer may get away with paying $800 per week, the top players can, and usually will, pay significantly more for their transportation. These luxurious accommodations will cost thousands of dollars more than a basic economy plane ticket. Elite golfers such as Jordan Spieth or Justin Thomas may share a charted private flight to get to a tournament. It’s also important to remember that not all golfers have the same travel expenses. This makes traveling tough for PGA pros as well as a major expense to their budget. One week might be in the Northeast, the following weekend’s tournament may be in the Northwest. To make matters worse, tournaments are rarely scheduled near each other. It costs a lot of money to travel to and from tournaments. We covered travel expenses above and at $800+ per week. This holds true for travel associated expenses, one of the largest expenses for a PGA player. PGA players are independent contractors playing on tour which essentially means they are on their own when paying for their expenses. This is not the case for professional golfers. ![]() Professional baseball and football players have access to team transportation and resources. PGA players have some big bills that need to be paid! Expense Type Estimated Cost (Weekly) Caddy $1,500+ Travel $800+ Housing $1,200+ Food $250+ Miscellaneous $400+ Total $4,150+ PGA Tour Weekly Expense Breakdown Do PGA Tour Players Pay Their Own Travel Expenses?īeing a professional golfer is very different from other professional athletes. It’s no wonder why we see the professionals taking a second look at their puts. With an average expense of 4,150 dollars a week multiplied by the 48 scheduled PGA Tour events, that is a whopping $200K in annual expenses. The actual expenses will vary based on the player, but these estimates give us an idea of what the pros can expect to pay. Listed below is a breakdown of weekly expenses for a PGA Tour player. We have a lot to cover so let’s get started! What Are The Expenses Of A PGA Tour Player? ![]() We will cover where that $200K annual total gets spent, what it takes to break even, and all your other questions about PGA Tour player finances. In this article, we are going to dig into the expenses of a PGA Tour player. The cost to be a professional golfer comes in at an estimated minimum annual expense of $200K. However, what many people may not realize is that playing professional golf is anything but a free ride, in fact, it is downright expensive. It is well known that the best golfers in the world can make millions of dollars. We often see the rewards of winning, but what is often missed is the cost to compete. It’s the pinnacle of competitive golf with the best in the world contending for victory. ![]() Playing on the PGA tour is a dream for many. ![]()

Mantis compound crossbow12/1/2023 ![]() ![]() We release significant app updates every 4-8 weeks, with new screens, data, features, and functionality. Yet another indicator of consistency and outlier analysis. Adjust your setup and/or your mechanics and see the instant impact. The stability of your hold is quantified and scored (0-100). Analyze consistency, find outliers, and understand why. View each phase of each shot in comparison to all the others. Phases are intuitively color-coded so your mind can clearly understand exactly what is happening. Track the movement of your bow through the entire shot process.

Since an arrow can only be launched after 0.3 seconds, this means that the minimum damage of an arrow is 43.75%. An arrow's damage starts at 25% at 0 seconds, and increases linearly up to 100% at 1.2 seconds. The minimum pulling time to shoot an arrow with a bow is 0.3 seconds and the maximum damage is reached after pulling for 1.2 seconds. Note: all values were taken from the raw damage values of the blueprints in the dev kit.

The Percent Torpor Gain is based on the % Melee Damage Attribute of both the weapon used, as well as the player using it.įor example, a Ramshackle Wooden Club with 120% damage will do a base damage of 6. However, the damage against the fleshy body of the organisms stays the same across all of them.Īgainst unarmored bodies, the damage weapons do per shot/attack is listed in the following table. Many creatures also take additional damage if you hit them in the head, with differing multipliers. For example, you only deal 20% damage against a Carbonemys' shell body part. Ignoring armor, Weapons may deal different amounts of damage depending on where you hit a certain creature. However, after factoring in the Base Damage this assumption turns out to be wrong: Regarding a Tyrannosaurus and a Carnotaurus with a Melee Damage of 230% and 270% respectively, one could assume that the Carnotaurus would deal more damage. Higher Melee Damage does not necessarily mean higher resulting damage. This may lead to confusion of the player because it does not seem obvious that Melee Damage is not the only Attribute affecting the damage. The difference between Base Damage and Melee Damage is that only the latter can be seen ingame. Disregarding Armor, resulting damage is calculated by multiplying the Base Damage, an absolute number, by the percentage coming from the Melee Damage Attribute. ![]()

The waterfall has two parts with the main lower part in China, and the higher part in Trung Khanh District. River tourism, decorative wood bridges and wharves will be developed in the scenery area along the Quay Son River. The Ban Gioc waterfall landscape will be built on 20ha to preserve and develop standout landscape such as the main waterfall and auxiliary waterfall, paddy fields, pine tree hills, creeks and perennial trees. The tourism center is designed to consist of the Ban Gioc waterfall landscape, scenic areas along the Quay Son River, hill and mountain ecological landscapes and agricultural ecological landscapes. Accommodation services will increase from 1,010 rooms by 2020 to 1,750 rooms by 2030. Under a plan approved earlier this year by the government, some 1,000ha of land will be zoned off for the Ban Gioc waterfall tourism site, which hopes to welcome 750,000 visitors by 2020 and 1.2 million by 2030. About 3km from Ban Gioc Waterfall is Nguom Ngao Cave that has many marvellous landscapes complete with stalactites and stalagmites of great geological.

![]() ![]() Mainstream support for Office 2016 ended in October 2020 and for Office 2019 it will end in October 2023. This October 2025 date is the end of extended support. ![]() But Office 2016 support doesn't end until October 14, 2025, which also is the same date that support for Office 2019 ends. Microsoft Office 2013 support ends on April 11, 2023. But these older clients may encounter performance or reliability issues over time. Important: We won't take any active measures to block other versions of the Office client that are still supported and are up to date, such as Office 2013 with Service Pack 1, from connecting to Microsoft 365 services. Note: Office 2019 and Office 2016 will be supported for connecting to Microsoft 365 (and Office 365) services until October 2023. (Shocker, I know!) The Microsoft docs article about Microsoft 365 services connectivity has two seemingly contradictory statements in the same article. But it is warning those users that they potentially could experience some issues when connecting to Microsoft 365 back-end services after that date. (Or maybe just an overaggressive attempt to get those who want non-subscription Office to move to the cloud?) Microsoft is not going to block Office 2016 and Office 2019 customers from connecting to Microsoft 365 back-end services after October 2023. The good news for those users is this was a false alarm. Recently, some of those users - namely those with Office 2016 and Office 2019 - got a bit of a scare, as it seemed Microsoft had decided to cut off their access to Microsoft 365 back-end services in 2023, which is two years before those products officially exit support. Even though Microsoft is all-in on the cloud, it still is continuing to roll out "perpetual" (non-subscription) versions of Office every few years. ![]()

Type to learn kids12/1/2023 ![]() ![]() If you're child only uses a tablet or touchscreen device, create opportunities to use a computer with a keyboard too. Allocate some of your children's screen time to learning to type. Time to PracticeLike any other skill, our children will not become good at typing if they don't get an opportunity to practice. Check out the paper computer from Hello Ruby to make your own paper laptop with keyboard. Why not practice spelling on a paper keyboard and get them to 'type' the letter and say it out loud. Kids can then pretend to type and learn the finger placements. Make a Paper KeyboardOne fun way to learn where the keys are located on a keyboard is to make your own paper keyboard.He has his own workarounds, but finds using a trackpad and mouse more tricky than his right-handed brother! My son is also left handed, and it was only when he started using a laptop that I realised the set up caters more for right-handed people. Trackpads can be tricky to master, and so if you're using a laptop, it may be easier to start with an external mouse. Mouse & Trackpad SkillsDon't forget that once kids use a laptop or desktop computer they will also need to learn how to use a mouse or trackpad. ![]() Although you can type on a touchscreen, it's a different experience and it's worth learning to type on an actual keyboard. Read our review about the Kano Computer.Įxternal keyboards for tablets are also a good idea to help kids learn typing skills. The keyboard that comes with the Kano Computer, for example, is a great size for small hands. You can also get smaller bluetooth keyboard to connect with a desktop computer to help kids master the skill.

Lego star wars castaways reddit12/1/2023 ![]() ![]() The levels know when to flood the room with enemies and when to hold up and let you solve the puzzle. ![]() The cantina brawls, the highly destructible levels, the Yoda force ghost character that cost like a billion studs. Maybe it’s just nostalgia, but I love this game. LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga on the Wii is, in my opinion, the absolute best video game ever created. The greatest video game ever comes to iOS So I wanted to write this review to tell LEGO, good job, but for the future, PLEASE make those games on mobile just as good as this one is and was, because I know that you guys can do much better than what you’re putting out there. This game is what keeps me from ending it all with me and mobile LEGO games. I HATE those games because I expected them to be just as great as this one, but I scroll through the mobile LEGO games and they’re all just the Nintendo DS games with mobile controls. What makes this app so great is that it’s the actual game, nothing was changed from the console version and wasn’t scaled down to the Nintendo DS version with mobile controls (like all of them now). I’m glad I could play it, but was disappointed that I couldn’t play the other episodes without paying extra for them, so I was stuck with Episode I, while still waiting for the other two LEGO Star Wars games to become backwards compatible on Xbox One (if they ever will). I really loved this game as a kid (I played LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy) and never played the first one. If you enjoy LEGO games, be sure to check out LEGO Batman: DC Super Heroes, LEGO The Lord of the Rings, LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and Years 5-7, and LEGO Friends.

I have tested the motors in each door, directly from an old car battery. when i bought the car only the right side front window worked, at the moment none work. ![]() We have interior/exterior color combination charts prepared for VTCI's 1967-1971 Original Factory Specifications (OFS) manual, which has not yet been released as we're in need of people to help assist in its research, development and assembly. I´ve got a thunderbird 68 with powerwindows, wich ofcourse aren´t working. Maybe any exterior color could be ordered with any interior color? If so there could have been some really wild cars ordered!!!Īgain any help is greatly appreciated. I have scoured the internet and as of now been unable to find a chart that lists the available interior colors, that could be ordered for each exterior paint color on the 1967 Ford Thunderbird carline.ĭoes anyone have such a document or chart? I can find lists of the exterior color options, and separate lists of the interior color choices, but I can not find any cross referenced list showing what color combinations were allowed on the 67 Thunderbird. It's true that the '67 and '68 cars look very similar in appearance and it's also true that the Thunderbird lineup changed considerably for 1967, but 1968 was truly a big year for change as well in the T-Bird, which we shall examine more closely in the paragraphs below. Although some critics applauded the 1967 T - Bird's interior for the way it toned down the ' airplane - pilot syndrome ' common to earlier models. ![]() |
