Like in Goodfellas there were rules. Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday was for families, steady girlfriends, wives. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday were for the girls on the side. And the place was full of them. Court reporters, young lawyers, even some sexy clerks were all for the taking. And boy did we have fun. And Dan, Al, and Hank at the door knew who was who. The girls on the side who turned up on the wrong days were turned away. The food was solid and good. Nice wine list. The action could be unreal. Those were the days when if you were a lawyer you always had a bankroll of a grand or two in your pocket, judges never paid for dinner, and your motions the next day were granted. <br /><br />They were grand times and I miss them.The Place For Steak Guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-21991642519664584992012-07-10T20:35:17.228-04:002012-07-10T20:35:17.228-04:00Is this a golf blog now?Is this a golf blog now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-63510075893386276932012-07-10T16:12:02.076-04:002012-07-10T16:12:02.076-04:00AG-

They used the term as a way to deflect on their very regular gambling that was going on on the golf course. That term made its way up to NY much later. <br /><br />Of course the golf course betting was only followed up by even more betting in the card room after the round was done.<br /><br />Cap Out .....CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-70499495532770683302012-07-09T18:02:09.112-04:002012-07-09T18:02:09.112-04:00The Real Fake Kenny W knows not to use a powered h...The Real Fake Kenny W knows not to use a powered hair trimmer for nose hair.

No one has explained it correctly. it works like this. You have a foursome, two teams. Let's say you start out with a $2 Nassau. That means each hole is match play, best ball (which means you take the lower score of each teammate, not a combined score). Your team wins the first two holes +2. Your opponent then can "press" that bet which means you start another bet. Your opponent wins hole 3. The score is now +1/-1. If your opponent wins hole 4, the bet goes -/-2, meaning you are even on one bet and $2 behind on the second. Every time a get gets at -/+ 2, the opponent must press. Real men play automatic presses. So you could end up +2/-/-2 after 9 holes. That means you won $2, lost $2, and are even on the middle bet. Now, if anyone is -1 or +1 on the 9th or 18th hole, that bet is automatically pressed. When you finish 9 holes, real men triple the bets. All new back 9 bets would then start at $6. The 9 hole bets are closed except that there is always an 18 hole bet that can be pressed throughout the match. As you can see, if the scores fluctuate wildly, there is quite a bit of $ riding toward the end. The front nine is nothing but a practice round for the back, where the money at stake increases almost exponentially with each hole played. To really make it interesting, it is common for each player to have a "singles" bet against each of the other three players. Thus, each player will have 20 to 25 bets going at the same time. What you win or lose will be greater than what you paid to play the course. And remember, this is all illegal. But also remember, half those people you see on the links on a Saturday or Sunday morning are more likely than not to be judges, lawyers, and cops.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-3394849811070259982012-07-09T17:17:42.950-04:002012-07-09T17:17:42.950-04:00First of all 11am is not the real Fake Kenny W.

A very expensive finely tailored suit, complemented with a beautiful custom shirt and gorgeous designed tie, finished with an expensive watch (Patek Phillipe or above, Rolexes are for cheap chump wannabes) will get you a bigger fee than wearing some of the rack sears or macys lumpy polyblend mess. <br /><br />The better dressed you are the more likely clients are to believe you know what you're doing.

Since when does winning 2 US Opens, a British Open, and 20+ other PGA events make you "good" and not great. Bullshit. Rump is right about the pressure of gambling vs. the pressure of sinking a 10 footer on Sunday for an extra $500,000.00 when you already have $300,000.00 in your pocket and a five star hotel awaiting your arrival that night regardless of how well you play. Try sinking that putt when the guy your playing against has your last month's rent money and that day's food money in his back pocket. Not even close.

He was a finalist for the previous appointment when Ivan Fernandez was chosen. He made the short short list last time as well.<br /><br />He comes from a career at the Miami Dade County Attorney's Office.<br /><br />Here is part of their bio on him:<br /><br />Thomas W. Logue has over 28 years of legal experience trying cases, briefing and arguing appeals, drafting and defending legislation, and advising clients, including the Property Appraiser, the Tax Collector, the county’s television station, and Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, among others. He sits as counsel to various zoning bodies and the historic preservation board.<br /><br />Tom has successfully defended the constitutionality of various county ordinances from challenges by the ACLU, the Public Defender, and others. See Exile v. Miami-Dade County, 16 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 1044b (Fla. Cir. Ct. September 23, 2009), aff’d, 35 So. 3d 118 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010) (upholding ordinance restricting residency of sexual predators); Metropolitan Dade County v. P.J. Byrds, Inc, 654 So.2d 170 (Fla. 3d DCA 1994) (upholding constitutionality of Miami-Dade County historic preservation ordinance)..<br /><br />He has successfully challenged the constitutionality of various state statutes. See, e.g., Homestead Hospital v. Miami-Dade County, 829 So. 2d 259 (Fla. 3d DCA 2002) (holding that a statute diverting of tens of millions of tax dollars from Jackson Memorial Hospital violated the Florida Constitution).<br /><br />For almost a decade, Tom taught Florida Constitutional law as an adjunct professor of law at St. Thomas and University of Miami law schools. Tom has written numerous articles suggesting improvements to the law, including Logue and Soto, Florida Should Adopt the Celotex Standard for Summary Judgments, LXXVI Florida Bar Journal 20 (February 2002); Logue, Avoiding Takings Challenges While Protecting Historic Properties From Demolition, XIX Stetson Law Rev. 739 (Summer 1990); Logue and Candela, Florida Law of Bailbond Estreatures, LXIII Florida Bar Journal 44 (Feb. 1989).<br /><br />Cap Out ....CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-16237366466600247602012-07-09T15:38:47.176-04:002012-07-09T15:38:47.176-04:00Rump's right.

Came up well known as a guy not to gamble with as his golf-gambling abiities were legendary. Indeed he has given interviews in which he has said he won more money at the Wednesday Pro-Ams on the tour then he ever did playing, and he won six majors and several prestigious tournaments. <br /><br />A Nassau is essentially three bets. A dollar nassau is: 1) a bet for a dollar for each hole ; 2) a bet for a dollar for who wins more holes during the front nine and 3) a bet for a dollar on who wins more holes for the back nine. <br /><br />So if you have a dollar nassau and win the front nine 5 holes to 4 you win two dollars. If you win the front nine 9-0, you win ten dollars. If you win all 18 holes you win 18 + 1 + 1= 20. A press is just doubling the bet which is considered the proper thing to do if you are ahead the and person behind asks to press. Consider a 1,000 nassau- the front nine you win 7-2, you're up 6K. They ask for a press and you win the back nine 6-3 for 2k- you win 6K for the front nine and 8k for the back nine- 14K for 18 holes. Its easy to see how Trevino made a lot of money doing that 40-45 weeks a year.Golf Guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-20873608408446717192012-07-09T15:00:07.042-04:002012-07-09T15:00:07.042-04:00The Most Token Uncle Tom Justice Clarence Thomas

I shall put forth my opinions on this blog.<br /><br />Is is of the up most importance that you recognize that the court in it's preeminent discretion, wishes not to publish our opinion efficiently. We believe that the opinion of the Courts should be left to the opinion of the Fox and CNN News Press Networks Interpretation.<br /><br />This, in my opinion, has been the more reliable source of communicating our agenda, and selecting Good Boss President's, such as my dearest Master Boss George H.W.Bush's son, The Most Honorable George W.

This publishing process seemed to have worked very well in the past, and my second and third Boss's, Carl Rove and, Johnny Ellis, have insisted that this practice be maintained. <br /><br />I do seek to appease my Boss's at all cost including at the cost of your *Constitutional rights.If you have any further concerns of grievances concerning this matter direct your non-sense to the appropriate person, and I shall personally see to it that my JA, shred your inquiry's and concerns at once.<br /><br />P.S.

It is ...11:50. It's an island in the Bahamas. <br /><br />It is also a way to bet money on the links. A $20k Nassau means you are betting that amount of money against your opponent, usually it's a foursome with two teams of two, and the winning team on the front side wins $20k, the winning team on the incoming nine wins $20k, and the winning team for the 18 holes wins $20k. <br /><br />The real fun begins when one side is down a bit and decides to "press" the bet. That's when the real money starts adding up. I'll let Horace explain pressing. <br /><br />Cap Out .....CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-704677529571970032012-07-09T12:15:06.700-04:002012-07-09T12:15:06.700-04:00Come on girls, play nice.Come on girls, play nice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-69640553806114891942012-07-09T11:50:44.312-04:002012-07-09T11:50:44.312-04:00What is a Nassau?What is a Nassau?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-48504143049010296892012-07-09T11:32:26.237-04:002012-07-09T11:32:26.237-04:00Lee Trevino was by far and away a better golf bett...Lee Trevino was by far and away a better golf bettor than a golf player. I know more about this than you can possibly imagine. My comment does not mean he was not a great player. He was. But he became a pro by pulling himself up from being a club player and indeed he financed his ability to go on tour through his gambling. The very best golf gamblers who played for sums that would leave Tiger Woods shaking in his boots (think rounds in the mid 1970's where millions of dollars changed hands as putts were made and missed) will tell you that the only tour pro who could play with them was Trevino. Trevino was the best tour pro hustler who ever played and was one of the better golf gamblers who ever played. You will never know or recognize the name of the legendary golf hustlers or gamblers, but trust me when I say the pressure they played under made a simple up and down from a sandtrap to win a major feel like a par three pitch and putt. Winning majors and Vardon trophies pale in comparison to the pressure a gambler has when he is three down with four to play at 100K a hole pressed up from a 20K nassau. <br /><br />You should refrain from writing about things you know nothing about. What's the largest Nassau you've ever played for? $10? $20? a$100? When you're playing at 10K with presses every day for a month, then let me know how it feels.Rumpolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380575650255695462noreply@blogger.com
