Before 16 I never had a "steady" job. I would do work for my Dad and relatives that needed an extra hand with yard work or construction(building decks, plumbing, destruction, pouring concrete, etc). My parents never wanted me to have a real job that might interfere with school by working nights, so I worked in their office after school. Mostly doing filing, answering phones, computer stuff, etc. In college, I waited tables at a 50's style Diner, but only for about 4 months. The owner's lazy ass son took my hours, so I opted to work some shifts as a dishwasher. Horrible work, I wasn't trained in dishwashing...I showed up and they said "Get to it." My shift was over at 10:00 p.m., but I didn't finish until 2:00 a.m. So I quit that to go back to waiting, but since they were shady about all their business practices, they told me that I couldn't because the owner's son had taken the rest of my hours. So I quit and moved on to working at a Sonic flipping burgers. Not a bad job if you don't mind sweating your ass off and smelling like french fries. I eventually began working 60+ hours a week there and was performing a lot of the management duties, but I wasn't receiving the management pay. I quit that when I began commuting back and forth to my new college. I did some odd jobs for varied amounts of money, some of them may be refered to as "illegal," but they put money in my pocket. Ah, the joys of being a computer geek. Then I had an internship for the Network Admin of my college. And now I'm currently working for a Damage Prevention Company that sends me all over the world to fix problems. Maybe get a job as a caddy? Do they still have those? Every course I've been to(even the super nice country clubs) have replaced the caddy with the golf cart.

Basketball(Go Spurs!), Hockey, Ping-Pong, Tennis, Dart Throwing, Foosball. Yeah, some of them are Bar Sports, I know.

Oh, I wasn't clear on that. $56 for 18 on weekends for non-members. With a Membership I think it's $20 for 18 on weekends and $12 during the week, but the $2400 a year I gotta spend on food at their overated restaurant is what kills me.

That sucks. I always make time for my autograph seekers. Psshhh! Tiger needs a reality check. By the way, I'm currently in Omaha, Nebraska on business and have passed by several nice courses. Wish I brought my sticks! Also entered a raffle at a forklift distirbutor that was giving away an Ogio Exo Bag and a Ping Putter, both had a Toyota emblem on them(bag and putter grip), but that's cool since I drive a Toyota. *fingers crossed*

I looked into a membership at the local CC here. $800 per year, still have to pay for green fees(at a discounted rate), and spend at least $200 per month on food/drinks at the Country Club bar and grill. But you get access to the tennis courts and swimming pool...not that I care for that stuff. It's about $33 for 18 during the week and $56 on weekends, but they have discounted days like Thursdays for $10 for 18($20 with a cart) and Saturdays after 5:00 p.m. it's the same price. On my salary I can't afford to pay $200 per month on food and drinks AND play golf as much as I would like. So I travel around the local semi-private and public courses during the week to play whatever course has the cheapest green fees.

I have the opposite problem. I have a slight fade that occassionally turns into a nasty slice. Ewwww...

Tees, simple divot repair tool, an extra ball, and a Canadian Quarter.

My Tommy Armour 845u irons came from eBay. I don't have a single complaint about them. If they are counterfeit(which I doubt), they don't hit like counterfeit irons.

Mmmmmm...I had the privilige of sampling all of the fine Canadian Brews when I was in Nova Scotia on business. Keith's is excellent, but I had another one called Ricket's Red or something like that. I have a pretty strong tolerance, but 3 12 oz. drafts got me tipsy. Blue Moon is another good one. A sales rep for our company took me out for a nice night of 24 oz. Blue Moon drafts. And I wish I had your warning before that night. My favorite beers: Corona/Corona Light, Miller Lite, Shiner Bock, Arrogant Bastard Ale, Dead Guy Ale, Modelo Especial Favorite Shot: Jagermeister Mixed Drink: Bourbon and Coke Non-Alcoholic Beverage: Unsweet Iced Tea, Water, Propel Fitness Water(good stuff) I drink after I leave the course, beer throws my game.

I have a Boston Terrier named Zoey. Stats: Gender: Female Age: 18 months Height: 16.21" (No I haven't really measured her height) Weight: A whopping 19 lbs. Race: Black AND White Speed: 1,000 MPH (Or it at least seems like it) Secret Weapon: Farts of Death Special Move: Flipping Out Shortest Chew Toy Life Span: 30 seconds (Truth) Longest Toy Life Span: 2 weeks Pics Here

I too read the review and the Ogio Exo will be my next bag. I was looking for a new bag and doing some research and came across this site where I found the review. Excellent review. I'm using an old PING stand bag I got in high school when I was hitting PING irons. Now the only PING club in my bag is my putter. It gets a little annoying when people keep commenting: "A PING bag and Tommy Armour Irons, what's up with that?" I'm really tired of hitting them in the face with my putter. j/k I know what he means on the grips catching on each other, it gets annoying after a while. Edit: I clicked a few of the links that Rafcin posted and came across THIS(clickme) . I think I would get beat up if I ever wore that out on the course.

It's a huge lake/state park. It's fairly expensive living which is why I live about 10 miles away in a neighboring town. Most people have never heard of my town, but have heard of Possum Kingdom Lake which is why I list it that way. Possum Kingdom Lake That website is kind of crappy. The Cliffs That's a link to The Cliffs at Possum Kingdom.

I might need to pick up a dozen of the BlackMax to see what the hype is about. On another note, I was at a Bridgestone/Firestone plant on business one time and visited their "Gift Shop" and found golf balls for fairly cheap. They also had Bridgestone/Firestone golf shirts, hats, coolers, pens, etc, etc.

Erica Blasberg is numero uno for me.

Too many crazy cart stories from high school. Not all of them were mine, but guys I was playing with. However a cart related story from recently is... About 12 of us from work go out every Thursday and play a 2 team scramble for fun. We were trying to beat daylight on the last hole and had all of the carts lined up to the right of where we were hitting from. We all hit our shots, then a guy who had been drinking while playing lines up his shot and takes his swing. I don't know how he managed to hit the ball so bad, but he toed it and it ricocheted off of the little 1" piece of aluminum on the front "windshield" bar and comes straight back at all of us nearly hitting 5 people. The odds of hitting that 1" piece out of the entire open area were at least a thousand to one.
