I've been a concrete finisher for 13 years. Haven't been able to work (or play golf) for the past 3 weeks because of a work-related back injury. Guess I'm getting old, since this is the first time I've ever had back problems from the job.

Corporate Attorney - at my computer almost all day; and because some things I do are "confidential" not even IT can see my internet traffic.

I work as a financial adviser for a small branch of Raymond James in Danvers, MA. I am very passionate about the game and try to combine business and golf as much as possible. I also plan on volunteering for this First Tee at a local golf club. I am friendly with many local PGA professionals and support what they do for the game. The past few years didn't play as much as a wanted to so I'm back up to a 5 handicap and I am hoping to get to scratch by the end of the summer as long as I disciple myself to work on the short game. Look forward to participating in this forum.

I'm an Insurance Broker. My ambition is to regain a 10 handicap I achieved 30 years ago when I was 17.

Security guard at the mall down the street. Decent gig if you need something that can work around school hours, and if you can deal with teenagers who think it's really clever and original to call you "Paul Blart."

I am a Certified Asset Recovery Specialist. In short I am a repo man and have been one for going on 9 years.

I work in Human Resources for a municipality. It is a decent profession and I am humbled and honored to work for my fellow tax-payers. I don't take it for granted.

Nonetheless, I look forward to being a "weekend warrior," so to speak, and put much effort in to golf, bowling, and softball (among others). The bowling and softball part have been easy, golf has been the most challenging and rewarding of all of the endeavors. I definitely got the "bug" for golf. It dominates my free time; whether reading, watching. thinking, practicing, or playing. It's my favorite by leaps and bounds!

Union Plumber/Pipefitter. Hope to go back to school soon. 11 years of wear and tear in the construction business is starting to catch up to me. Wanna get out while I'm still young.

I am a career firefighter, paramedic, Union President, small business owner, husband, and most importantly a father. My daughter is 5 years old has a wicked swing but about as much patience as I had when I was young. I love my job(s) but they won't last forever. Golf and love for my family are what I'll hang my hat on long after my working days have come to an end.

I work on drilling rigs in South Tx 6 months out of the year, the other 6 months I fish and golf :).

Prior to this, I was a Safety/DOT compliance supervisor for a natural gas company for close to 4 years and for the first 12 years of my adult life I was in the Marine Corps.

Current job is excellent, income is only limited by desire to learn more and you only work half the year.

    • Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice. 
    • Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.
    • Exactly correct.   I was absolutely certain about the penalty (none here), but the bit about where they play from can be really confusing the first time you read it.  In my big paper rule book, i used colored highlighters to make it clear.  Good thing I did, at the Cascades there's little to no cell service, so using the rules app on the phone wasnn't possible.  
    • Taking a crack it, but looks pretty clear. 11.1  Ball in Motion Accidentally Hits Person or Outside Influence. a. No Penalty to Any Player If a player’s ball in motion accidentally hits any person (including the player) or outside influence: There is no penalty to any player. This is true even if the ball hits the player, the opponent or any other player or any of their caddies or equipment. Reading further down it looks like they have to play the ball as it lies. No replay from the previous spot. 
    • I had an interesting one yesterday, a local qualifier for the US Senior Open, at the Cascades Course at the Homestead.  Well, first things first, the VSGA arrnged for the officials to play the Cascades on Monday at the players' practice round rate.  Its lots of fun, rather old-style (built in the 1920s).  anyway, a player missed a short putt, and (apparently embarrassed) took a step to be ready to tap the ball back in.  The ball lipped out, and hit the player's foot.  I was nearby, and they waved me over, and asked "What do we do now?"  I was pretty sure of the ruling, but asked them to wait for a few seconds while i double-checked.  I did have it correct, even though its one of the more confusing rules in the book right now.  I'll leave the correct answer out for now, in case anyone wants to guess, or research it, and post their ruling.
