I have bowhunted heavily for the past 19 years. Golf bit me so hard this past year (08) that I didn't even hunt this past season. I think I might need help!

I'm also an associate pastor and very involved in church. In fact, I've tried to pass golf off as a ministry, but nobody buys it. Several men in the church do get together often in the warmer months to play, though.

What are some of your other hobbies?

Exchanging opinions and information on forums such as this one (seriously). My favorites are this and the CNN political forum. I enjoy discussing topics with people in a dispassionate, but informed manner. Actually, I would rather do it in person, and do that often. However, the internet does give us access to many more people and at various times. Right now, it is 4:20 AM Eastern Time on Saturday, and here I am posting. There is no one awake around her, including my wife, so this is my outlet for communication.

I have learned from the opinions and posts of others, and I believe they have learnd from me, based on the messages they have sent me or put on the Control Panel. So, it is a two way street, as it should be.

Tennis is my passion. At the moment it is a bit on hold, since I got into golf.
I also like skiing, but it is cancelled for this winter. I opted for a full year golf club membership instead.
Also, I like photography.

Used to be hunting, mostly upland bird hunting. Golf in the warm months, hunt in the cold months and the walking was more vigirous then golf so it help keep me in shape. Now birds and land are hard to find, so now its video games on the Wii.

Text sports sims. For those that may not be familiar with them, they're somewhat like fantasy sports, but not based on actual players. You basically run a sports franchise. There are sims for most major sports. I particularly like Out of the Park Baseball and Front Office Football.

    • I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!
    • Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?
    • Day 539, April 23, 2024 Mirror work once again. When I get back to swings, I'll just do it A. LOT.
    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
