I guess I need to provide an update since I first posed on this topic.  

I am now retired from that large oilfield service and equipment company who liked to be known as No Other Vendor. 

These days I dabble in maintaining a few golf related websites so yes I am still one of those IT nerds on here. 

I am also active in 3 different golf tournament organizations.

In Nursing though now managment rather than on a ward as such. Manage services for people with addictions (normaly to substances not golf!)

 

Very flexable in terms of hours i have to do, so able to play in the week once normaly (as well as a weekend game), either a morning in winter or evening in the summer.


Am now working with a German pharmaceutical company doing Cash Collections for their Brazil office, based out of Bangalore India.  Work hours start at 4pm local time and go on till 1 to 2 am.  Whenever possible I try to put in early morning golf rounds during the week.  When staying with my folks I try to go thrice to four times a week to my home course where I am a member.  In town, I tend to play once a week due to cost and availability of playing partners.

I work in IT specifically cloud computing now.   One of the great things about IT is that you can do it from anywhere.   I currently work from home, as my employer doesn’t have any corporate offices around me.  However our customers are everywhere, so a lot of us work remotely and only go to customer sites.   It gave me the ability to spend days at home with my two daughters until they went to kindergarten.  So I was very, very blessed that my girls know me as well as their mother since we were always together.

I'm a product consultant and work for myself. The products are mostly software-oriented and distributed in the legal, finance, and real estate industries. My reward for finishing a day of work is a practice session of golf.

I am a police officer in a city south of Boston, 6 years so far. I work the midnight shift to give myself more time for golfing, although it doesn’t always work out as planned haha.

Hi there, I'm an M&A advisor. Luckily nearly half the office plays golf, including the boss, so he arranges every year a corporate event at a fancy golf course, a good way to keep us away from the office for the day.

I’m an airline pilot, based in London (although I’m originally from Scotland). 

We’re very fortunate to have an enormous worldwide route network, with loads of opportunities to play golf when on a trip. If a member of the flying staff recreation club, we also have access to golf clubs kept at the hotels we use (usually a number of sets), and deals with local clubs at the destination. Many of us will travel with our own clubs, though.

At home, I mostly play at Richmond Park Golf Club and the London Scottish Golf Club.

Any tips, for courses worth seeking out, appreciated!

I'm a project manager (freelancer) for multiple customers in all kinds of industries. I would love to spend more time playing golf, but just very busy at the moment.

    • Going to a Friendsgiving tomorrow and I am bringing a no-bake cheesecake. I make the crust too big, but I think it turned out good. The filling is really good. 
    • Sure, but how was your alignment? 🙂 Day 53 - 2024-11-22 Mirror work after getting back home. Wife is a superstar for her career/job/whatever.
    • I would say your back nine is the second nine you play that day. It's part of what makes getting some of those holes tougher. Or, if 18 holes are played pretty often, out of A, B, and C, and you often play A and C, A is the front and C is the back, regardless of the order you play them in. That way not birdieing C #7 isn't overcome by birdieing the easier A #7 on a day you played it C-A instead of A-C. But, at the end of the day, nobody really cares except yourself.
    • Day 128: played 9. Nice little even 9, with 2 birdies and 2 bogeys. 
    • @DeadMan, I think your approach makes sense. As @dennyjones said, consistency is the key.
