The Billy Walters I know. A 🧵
(Spoiler: The best guy you'll ever meet.)
I met Billy Walters in somewhere around 2006. I was working at the Reserve Club. My friend/mentor John was the director of golf. He came in the office. "You ever heard of a guy named Billy Walters?" I said of course I had. He said "Well he just got in the club. Buckle up."

THREAD:
A dozen or so folks have snuck into my DMs asking me how I felt about boycotting @TheMasters. Here we go.
Voting in Georgia was incredibly difficult *last* year. To deny this says a lot about the denier.
Then urban voters flipped the state blue.
As a reaction, @GovKemp made it more difficult to vote. To deny that says a lot about lens from which you view the world.

THREAD: This is a love story. Kind of.
Our setting, Rancho Park, is run by @LACityGolf who's unofficial motto is: "Treat Customers Like Hostages." You are reminded of each time they take your credit card through the bullet-proof glass.
Our protagonist is @gabbiecarter00 who finds herself working on her golf swing on the upper level of the practice range at Rancho. She does not have a good swing, she has a *great* swing.

We are asking millions of people over 65 to login, create an account, schedule an appointment, and print/pdf their form to bring with them.
Many of these people have AOL email addresses.
How do you think this process is going?
Because I work in healthcare and some of our customers are over 65 and extremely savvy. Most are not.
A sample:
"I sent the email on a Sunday so it probably didn't go out until Monday."
