exactly - they didn't walk out of college into the job.  I have been in the industry for 15 years.  Like ANY industry, if you are good at what you do, and you are willing to take the risks associated with continually climbing the corporate ladder, plenty of high salary jobs exist out there in the IT field.

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

You are absolutely kidding me... We don't work hard in the Information Technology field? That's probably true for some second-rate call centers where the employees are doing nothing more than r

If you don't want to work hard, stay out of IT.  It's not manual labor but also not for the lazy or stupid which you seem to indicate you are.  I'd suggest based on your credentials and work ethic you

So to recap for everyone who would like to "contribute"....... You're a dropout who is self-described as stupid and lazy.  You're a general failure at most of what you do, even the easy things,

OMG, just found this thread.

I am an IT person who has tried, tried and tried for at *least* an hour a day to be successful, but I just can't cut it.  I have panic attacks when the servers go down.   I think they fell into the Ethernet.   or maybe wireless signals are the voices in my head.   I don't know, but I want to get me a cushy life on the golf course where I can drink and the cart girls are all model quality.   I am thinking of hitting 20 balls per day and playing 7 holes at my local muni.  After 7 holes I get tired.   How long will it take me to play on the PGA tour?   And do they allow carts.

Sincere answers only, please.   I believe I will have a good swing since I work with computers.  The typing is hard and builds up my wrists.  Also the other 7 hours of my workday I am scratching my butt, so that helps with my arm/wrist strength.  Man, it's hard!

Why not just realize today's American Dream.  Fake a back injury and go on disability for the rest of your working years.  It's way easier, and then you can sit at home, watching the 9AM news and laugh at all the working stiffs that pay taxes while they sit in traffic.

Is there a class for that somewhere?   I can do classes at any time, except 11am - noon.   Price is Right is on then.   I imagine you have to at least know how to lie on documents and do some good acting to pull it off.

no, you know those commercials for attorney's that you see during Price is right?  (not the bankruptcy ones, the other ones)  pretty much any of them will help you do all of that for you.

      Revisiting My First Golf Instructor

      By billchao ·

      You need to stick with one instructor as long as they’re not terrible. There’s no blueprint to improving a golf swing and different instructors may see different things as being more important and try to fix them. The end result is you get a hodge podge of things to work in that may not be cohesive or necessarily help you. If you stick to one instructor and communicate to them as such, they’ll also be able to work out a roadmap to your improvement which is more beneficial in the long run. If a guy assumes you’re just coming in for one lesson you might end up with a band aid.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable....

      By collegefbfan ·

      Many thanks.  I read a lot of those posts.   Man, that is really deep.  As an old beginner, during a lesson or on the driving range, I have hit a good shot, you know pretty straight and it goes say 130 yards (7 iron).  The very next swing, I dig a ditch behind the ball.  I know I didn't do the same things on both swings.  Even this last lesson I had, I would hit a pretty good shot, not so on the next shot.  The instructor would quickly point out, "Hey you stayed on your back foot" or "Guess what happened there.  You got all armsy or handsy".  Sort of feels like I need a checklist when I prepare to swing each time.  I can see it now before every swing, "Hey can you guys give me 10 minutes while I run through my checklist".  In all seriousness, I see what you all are saying.  I wouldn't be overthinking it so much if just I could make decent contact most of the time.  Next lesson is about two weeks away.  Can't wait.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable....

      By DaveP043 ·

      I was going to link in the same think @snapfade did.  Your swing is already consistent, repeatable, except for nearly "microscopic" differences.  The more mechanically-sound your swing becomes, the smaller and less frequent those "microscopic" deviations become.
