Excited to be at Deerfield Country Club this weekend for the North vs South Junior Cup celebrating a successful year for both our Coke and Coastal Junior Tours. A huge thank you to Drew Belt, Kyle Ellis, Rory Nelson, and Alan Martel for not only their dedication to growing junior golf in Mississippi but taking the time to educate and instruct our young players this morning! Four-Ball Matches begin this afternoon! Follow Live Scoring 🏆 golfgenius.com/pages/6264179

Short game seedling growth moving right along!!!! Interesting to see difference in seed bed prep between raking in seedlings vs sandpro dimples. #golfcourselife #ouroffice

T-Mobile spent five years trying to get rid of the exact spectrum Elon just called "the last critical piece" of complete phone coverage in America. This 800 MHz block is Sprint's old Nextel spectrum, the stuff that powered push-to-talk walkie-talkie phones in 2004. The DOJ forced T-Mobile to divest it as a condition of the $26 billion Sprint merger. Dish had first rights at $3.59 billion and walked away because it couldn't raise the money. T-Mobile finally offloaded it to an investment firm called Grain Management last year for $2.9 billion plus a spectrum swap. Grain's original plan was selling it to utilities for private networks. Fourteen months later, SpaceX buys the whole portfolio, and shares of the carriers who passed on it fall as much as 8% in a single afternoon. Here's why it matters so much. Starlink's satellite signal at 2 GHz can reach your phone outdoors, but it dies at the first wall. 800 MHz penetrates buildings. Most phones already have the band built in. So satellites handle the open sky, this low-band layer handles indoors, and suddenly Starlink Mobile covers everywhere a normal carrier does without the tower network. Stack the moves. $17 billion for EchoStar's 50 MHz of 2 GHz spectrum. FCC approval for 15,000 Gen2 satellites this week. Now the low-band coverage layer. Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile paid $81 billion in a single auction for C-band spectrum in 2021, then spent years and tens of billions more deploying it on towers. SpaceX assembled a nationwide carrier out of a distressed-asset sale, a forced divestiture castoff, and rockets it already owns. The walkie-talkie spectrum from 2004 ended up being the piece that lets satellites replace cell towers. Nobody who touched it for twenty years saw that coming.

First cut on short game greens today. HOC .165 with front smooth roller. Rolled greens yesterday to smooth things out. Only one way to go from here!!! Can’t even tell a coyote had a dance party across the green……
