Sports & Hobbies groups near Saratoga, CA

If a solution exists, how does one solve a problem? The first and most important step is to structure the problem. If you have done that correctly, the rest is easy. This is based on my 45 years working in industry, solving problems in strategy, machine capacity & throughput modeling, scheduling, engineering yield systems, credit risk, default risk, medical statistics, company valuation and company credit. I invented the Capital Premium Model, and Economic & Funding (E&F) Statements to better model company credit risk and market-based valuations. Invented Wilcoxon Regression to better model probability distributions, Collated Distributions to model credit risk and infectious disease spread, and Levy/Black Swan Distribution to model black swans. And have written parsers. Lookup my landmark paper that proved that Multiple Sclerosis is not an unpredictable disease (https://drive.google.com/file/d/19O_QAG6-Y4J_GputX6lRgpdin0-x7Ode/view). I proposed how to reduce bank capital requirements for mortgages by 70% (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZVfZLt_P5E). As a hobby I proved the difference between probability and randomness. I discovered the first formula g=τc^2 for gravitational acceleration in 337 years (1687-2024) that does not have mass in the equation, and that the gravitational constant G is not. Have a decision theory paper, Asymmetric Information Resolution (AIR) Models, pending publication. Most of my work has either been published or is pending publication. Please bring problems you want structured but remember this is a public forum.

We are a community center, a hangout, a hub. Our stores are like a second home to local athletes and groups who use our space daily for club meetings, to host potlucks, and to start a workout from our front doors. We know most people are inside the store so they can get outside the store. We know because we’re out on the trails, in the Bay and on the roads with them. Come on by, say hello, and tell us how your season is shaping up. We’d love to chat. View all of our events on our Sports Basement [calendar here](https://shop.sportsbasement.com/pages/calendar).

We're here to play casual, pick-up dodgeball. Everyone is welcome to join! We'll play different variants of dodgeball to make sure that everyone can participate and have fun!

This group is for golfers who are looking for a judgment-free zone to learn and improve their game. For beginners, please join us for a game if you have taken lessons and/or have practiced at the driving range and can consistently make solid contact with the ball. For any game you should bring a set of clubs, golf balls and some tees. Members are expected to pay their own green fee at the course. If you need to rent clubs, contact the course to make sure they provide rentals. While skill level amongst our players varies, positive and respectful attitudes are a must. We expect all members to learn and respect the rules and etiquette of golf. https://theleftrough.com/golf-etiquette/ Maintaining pace of play is essential.  This includes teeing it forward and forsaking mulligans.  https://theleftrough.com/pace-of-play/ https://golf.com/instruction/the-etiquetteist-how-many-mulligans-are-too-many-mulligans/

This is a group for anyone interested in playing Pickleball. Pickleball is a racquet sport which combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. The sport is played on a court with the same dimensions as a doubles badminton court. The net is similar to a tennis net, but is two inches lower in the center. The game is played with a hard paddle and a polymer whiffle ball. Although Pickleball appears to be very similar to tennis, there are key differences that make Pickleball more accessible to a wider range of players, from children to seniors. Chief among these differences is the speed of the Pickleball ball which typically moves slower than a tennis ball. Equally important, however, is the size of the court, which is just under one-third of the total area of a tennis court. This smaller area combined with the slower moving ball makes Pickleball much easier to play than tennis. It is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced and professional players. Originally invented as a backyard pastime, Pickleball is now an organized sport represented by national and international governing bodies. Pickleball is addictive and as a result, the sport is spreading rapidly across the country and around the world. We now have 75 countries which have national Pickleball organizations. Pickleball is North America's fastest growing sport. Join us and find out why. There are many locations where you can now play Pickleball. You can find a location near you by clicking on the following link from usapickleball.org. [https://www.places2play.org/map](https://www.places2play.org/map) Use the map to quickly find the places to play Pickleball near you. If you want a location where you play to be listed on Bay Pickleball, you or someone else who is a regular there will need to volunteer to act as host at each of the meetups at that location. The meetup organization requires a host at each meetup. Once I have you confirmed as a host, I will list that meetup on the Bay Pickleball calendar. Of course, I will continue to list the beginner and intermediate clinics that I host. **See disclaimer below!**  \*\*\*Please keep in mind that the Bay Pickleball Meetup group is just friends getting together to have fun. Your participation in the group's events and activities are voluntary and you are responsible for your own safety.

Greetings and Salutations! We are a board gaming group established on December 26th, 2013. We started as a small group at Legends at Vallco Mall (when it was still open) and have hopped between places since, but the one constant is the great people! We try to stick to one place for each weekend, but make sure to keep an eye on the meetup events because we have to change the location every so often, things come up. Also, we accept people of all experience levels into our group. Many of the attendees are avid gamers who play some of the more complicated Euro-games, and many of them play lighter/fun games too! No matter your skill level or time spent in the hobby, as long as you're interested in playing something new, you'll find a spot at our table! Of course, if you want to learn a game we are happy to teach, and we have many fantastic teachers here. If you have read all the way to this point it is safe to assume you are interested in joining us (I hope). We sincerely hope you will take the time to come to a session and get to know us. You won't be disappointed. Thank you, Bill Dugger
