Well, I'm a bum at the moment. Finished up college about a year ago and took some time off for poker. That worked quite well for a while and then I stopped playing online when the UIGEA passed so I can't really call myself a poker player anymore. At the moment I am living off the winnings, playing a lot of golf, and hoping to avoid finding employment anytime soon.

my life is essentially over, at least golf wise. I'm 22, recent college graduate and am just begining my professional career. I am a Mutual Fund Portfolio Administrator for State Street. I'm essentially a custodian banker, tracking and securing all the administrative aspects of mutual funds. This is my first week and am already going insane, I'm sure I'll get used to it but it's going to take some time. I logged 83 rounds of golf from April to October 21st. From what I've experienced at my job so my days will be long, this saddens me.

How have people dealt with this nec. transition in life? Working is an obvious reality for 99.9& of people in this world, how do the professionals in this group get out on the course without having to lie about being sick and their standard vacation days?

Chief Financial Officer of a conglomerate of about 100 corporations; overall a medium sized business. Ex-Price Waterhouse CPA (audit). Now spend most of my time in business planning, complex income tax matters, information system changes and resolving major business problems.

Live on a 7 acre estate in a rural area (having a 7 acre yard is a major pain) in Arkansas. Dedicated bass fisherman since 1971, deer hunter, duck hunter, Corvette enthusiast, Triumph motorcycle enthusiast and a lover of Science Fiction.

One son, an English professor at a major University. No grandchildren of my own, but present second wife has one daughter (a wealthy real estate tycoon at age 32) and two grandchildren.

Just got back into golf about 6 weeks ago after a 5 year layoff due to 3 heart attacks and a SUV rollover. Suprisingly to me at least my game has come back very quickly and at age 59 am playing more like I was in my late 20s than I have since that time. Was an easy scratch golfer in college at a school with no golf team (didn't even know schools gave golf scholarships when I attended). Have a few tournament trophies and plaques from the 70's and 80's, but never really played any tournaments intentionally; mostly business/charity events.

I have played 14 complete rounds in six weeks and using my last 10, I am at a 9 handicap right now. My home course is short and reasonably easy, but the greens are tiny at about a 500 sq. foot average. My short game has been the slowest to come back.

I am just starting to update my equipment and have been flabbergasted by the effect they have on the game. I thought I was going to have to move to the senior tees with my 15 year old TaylorMade Burner Bubble Driver, but then bought a new R7 460 Draw driver and my driving distance immediately increased nearly 50% and very straight. Needless to say I immediately went out and bought the TM Ti 3, 5 and 7 fairway "woods" and have been even more blown away from their performance. For the first time since I was in college I have confidence in being able to stick a green with a fairway wood. In fact, with these I pulled my 1-4 irons out of my bag and added a loft wedge.

I also went ahead and got an R7 460 Superquad and tour weight kit, but its going to take some fine tuning. The R7 460 Draw was near perfect just as is.

Still putting with a Ping A-1, anold friend, but have a new Ping long putter on order; its the new half head that is supposed to be released on 11/1/07. I just bought my wife a new "two ball" putter (Olympic?) that is so easy to line up it should be illegal.

New irons are next to replace my 15 year old Ping Zings. That's the main reason I am joining the forum. I need lots of good advice on new irons and I hope to find it here.

FYI, SirMilton, for only 14 rounds, your index is the average of your best FIVE differentials (*.96).

Nothing in the swing is done at the expense of balance.

Laws of golf :
LAW 3: Brand new golf balls are water-magnetic. Though this cannot be proven in the lab, it is a known fact that the more expensive the golf ball, the greater its attraction to water.

LAW 8: Topping a 3-iron is the most painful torture known to man.

I'm an expatriate here in Saudi Arabia. I'm working as System Support Engineer dealing with HP9000 Systems and Proliant Servers. I have lots of time playing golf here while there is no much work to do. So basically, I get paid by playing gold even on weekdays.

    • More actual thoughts on the articles: Oh boy. I taught 5SK, and before that, I was S&T certified. Those experiences, for many good instructors, are additive. They're not "all" that they are. If I were to go through Scott Cowx's certification, or Dr. Kwon's, or James Ridyard's, or whomever's… I wouldn't be a "method" teacher any more than I am now. I'd be adding tools to the toolbox. He says there are "system" teachers, "non-system" teachers, and method teachers. Which one am I? A "non-system teacher"? So, I don't have any systems or structure? Or am I a "system" teacher with a bunch of branches and if/then/else statements? I don't know. The physics thing as it relates to S&T… yeah, that's already been discussed. Huh? Brendan, sorry, that part is bogus AF. Of course the arms go "around" somewhat. It's back, up, and in. Down, out, and forward. Plus, again, "energy can either be created or destroyed" isn't even right, as many of you have said. It's "neither" and it can be transformed, too. Plus, as others noted, that's typically a closed system: in our bodies we transform sugars and other things to create movement, energy. I'm going to move off this before I get totally annoyed… "These are the pontifications of a method" — no, the specific example he cited is the way everyone who has ever played good golf moves their hands - back, up, and in. The clubhead moves that way, too. I've seen this happen. This part might be the most accurate part of the article (it's no longer clear whether he's talking about this fellow or just talking in general here.) "Now here’s the sinister thing: The overwhelming information is by design." — If the instructor is as incompetent as he says, he's likely not doing any of this "by design." He doesn't sound bright enough to do so. WTF does that have to do with anything? Probably happens to some extent sometimes, but is that the instructor's fault? Or the student for not recognizing it? Also, again, this instructor doesn't seem to be bright (not that this article even really talks about the instructor anymore), so… I doubt he's doing all of this intentionally. People are found out eventually. I'm at a point where I get a lot of referrals from people who have noticed their friends playing better golf, and ask. Or people want to brag about their improvements, and that sells their friends. "As a result, these players couldn’t play golf." — Huh? I think he just observed when he was there. Not that he went out of his way to watch. 😄 
    • I am dying..🤣 Can one of yall come and pick me up from the floor? 
    • If you can’t, attack it. That’s the new age ideology. 
    • Is it possible that he writer is full of shit himself? "After months of listening and watching...". Yeah right, cuz that's so normal for writers do that just to get a single article out of the massive endeavor. I mean unless you are angling for a Rant-Pulitzer (Yup, it is a thing.. like, totally).
