My first thought about this thread was "this will be a bit dull"..but actually it's more interesting than it should be by rights.

I'm a school teacher.

Previous jobs include, scaffolder, van driver, retail (mens wear and ladies wear...yes, I can use the line 'I worked in ladies underwear :-D , it's always good for a laugh) security guard (once did an event with Charles and Di when they had a banquet with the Saudi royal family) I've also run the education program for a Premiership football club and a County Cricket Club, van driver, insulating contractor, Santa in a department store (awful job, the uniform was nylon and unpleasant to wear), maintenance in a factory, production line in a brewery (and we could drink pretty much anytime of the day so long as we didn't get caught by the bosses) , foundry labourer, and other assorted jobs over the years.

I work as a technology relationship manager for a financial services company. I notice there are a good representation of techies in this bunch. Nice to know I'm in good company. After staring at computer monitors on a daily basis, it's soul-mending to be able to see green slopes and turn your aggression towards a small dimpled ball.

    • 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.

    • Day 18: drill swing in my garage after getting home from work. 
    • Day 32 (12 Dec 25) - What was the Friday shootout became a practice round due to lack of enough players (temps kept a lot of the regulars home).  Used it to dial in some playing distances as I played back a set of tees to force alternate club selections.  Plenty of long approaches - every club was put into action thru the course is 18 holes. Was not a GiR day but rather nGIR (5 up and down pars).  Pin placement was tough - the smallest miss would see the ball roll just as far past or even off the green.  Was a great day of battling what the course was dealing. Overall - I finished 5 strokes over my average score of 86.
