What Do You Do for a Living?

Recommended Posts

I am an Engineering/Business leader. I have worked in Automotive Interiors for 30+ years designing, manufacturing, and running divisions. I started, grew, and sold a custom software development company. I am currently in a semi-retired job at a very small company that does automotive interior components with textile products that we manufacture right here in North Carolina. My role is largely a teaching, mentoring, leadership role and I love it.

I live in the "Sandhills" of North Carolina. You may have heard of Pinehurst? :-) I live 4 miles from Pinehurst Resort in Talamore Golf Resort located in Southern Pines North Carolina.

For a living? Currently not actually working except on my blog. Previously was a Process Improvement Eng (Six Sigma stuff). Have been around golf since the age of 15 and have worked in different fields in the golf world.

Live on my home course, "Country Club at The Highlands" in Chesterfield (Richmond) Va. I love to talk rules and golf equipment seeing I do and did a lot of it for years. I have coached young kids, which can be the most rewarding thing in golf. A true story about this is on my site entitled " A Golf Shot to Remember" about a young boy with a partial artificial leg.

I love humor in about everything. I am looking forward to becoming an active contributor to The Sand Trap.

Regards,

Gary Stephens

Self employed, I own a machine shop and welding outfit. I can build,  weld. or repair anything. Except the crack of dawn and a broken heart.

I've been in sales, played guitar professionally, taught guitar and music, dealt in high end music instruments, did political consulting and campaign consulting for the GOP, and most recently, started a car dealership with my father for a family business. I have lots of passions and always feel the need for something new in my life. :)

I apologize for having a spam URL in my signature and will not do it again.

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
