I'm an insurance agent. I'm just now picking up golf. It has always interested me but until recently I haven't had the time to pick it up.

I'm the sales manager for a regional voice/data carrier. I also do a bit of marketing for the company as well.

I played golf for the first time in at least 10 years a few months back as part of a networking event - I was horrible, but had a great time. I pulled my old clubs out of the garage (hand me downs my father gave me when I was in high school, I'm 36 now) and noticed my bag had definitely deteriorated. I told my wife I was going to try and pick up a new bag, so she surprised me with a new bag for Father's Day - and the new bag was filled with new clubs to boot!

I've never been in one of those positions at work where you go "make deals out on the course" but I'm almost wishing I was now. I try and get to the range at least 2-3 times per week, just trying to find my swing with my driver, and have played a few 9 hole games. I definitely haven't played enough to work out a handicap (and I don't think I want to yet!) but I'm really enjoying playing now.

Welder/ Fabricator at Southwest Fabricators, they make over head feed bins for cattle feed or whatever. I am also a licensed plumbing contractor. When I moved to this area of Oklahoma I started my own business, it went well for a couple years, then just died down. With 2 kids starting college I needed to do something. So a friend of my step dad gave me a chance. Been with them a year in September. Love the steady paycheck and not having my phone blow up all the time. This area is very economically oppressed, so my wife and I are trying real hard to get our feet back on the ground so we can move back to the city (OKC) or maybe relocate to Colorado Springs, CO.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
