I am a 26 year old full-time student at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I am currently in my last semester of a BA majoring in Economics. I am also employed part time in sales (Future Shop) as well as a promotional marketing firm. Just this evening I wrote (and nailed) an exam to become ceritfied to sell investment funds in Canada, I commence work with Investors Group May 21st. I am itching to start this job because it gives me regular hours, weekends off (i.e. golfing on) and even the freedom and need to entertain clients (i.e. golf) to instill confidence and ease. I have been out to an indoor range once a week since Jan. 3, tired of astroturf. Anyways, this is my 3rd post, now I have to wait more to be a full member..... snow....forums.....school, always with the waiting....

wow.....nice list of jobs

I am 25, design/draw house plans for a local tract builder, freelance custom homes on the side, as well as being a licensed contractor and owning my own business doing remodeling and design/build custom homes.

And I find time to play golf, although not as well as in the past, but I still play.

I'm an electronics consultant, self employed. I design electronic products for medical, industrial and consumer markets.

I've been playing business golf for the past several years but I decided to get serious again this year about playing more for fun -- I really want to get my handicap back to single digits!

Glad I found this site, it looks like a lot of fun and really interesting.

Took early retirement a few years ago after 35 years with McDonald's Corporation. Just relaxed and vegged out for a while, and now I work part time at a local Starbucks. Just a few days a week, and usually off by 11 am. Then it's off to the course!

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
