As I mentioned in my intro, i'm retired. I've been in business for myself and retired about 20 years ago, but got bored easily, so I accepted a position as the Youth Director at my synagopgue. After 9 years of that, I was asked to take over as the Executive Director. After six years of that, we merged with another synagogue and I decided to retire again.

I now work part time, 2 days a week, at a local golf course. I run the pro shop and do some of the purchasing for them.

Mostly now, I work for a small, white, fluffy Bichon Frise who constantly uses me to snuggle against. I havew to pet him, walk him, feed him, brush him, bathe him. He's a very demanding boss.

I've had a good day if I don't fall out of the cart...

Millwright, going on 19 years and hope to hang up the wrenches in the next 7-8 years and enjoy some of that pension money, I'll probably do some part time thing though, staying home doing nothing if I can't be at the course would drive me nuts.

I am a business college teacher far, far away from the rest of You, probably. In the country which has the Best School System In The World (yeah, right) =).

I have a BBA /IT and MBA Entrepreneurship and Business Competence. Have played golf since last July and quite keenly trained also in wintertime when the golf courses here are covered in snow. I am giving lessons and waiting for the summer to come, as soon as possible, hopefully.

Currently in an IT role for a 3rd Party Warehouse provider

Grew up in the 3PL environment - Had every job in the warehouse from sweeping floors to management - Hate the BS of day to day operation so I volunteered for our latest IT project. So, far ... So good ...

I am a design engineer for a biomedical orthopaedics company. I am not a good golfer, but my 6 year old son is on a Jr tour and does an incredible job. I am also an aspiring club designer with a patent and USGA preliminary approval.

I am a decathlete and my strongest sports are Javelin (No.6 in UK) and Pole Vault (No.11 world). I do not compete anymore and have turned my hand to coaching.

I play almost all sports and would consider myself to be a reasonable golfer.

    • Sweat contains about 800 to 1500 mg per liter. For me, about 45 minutes of moderately intense workout had me lose about 3-lbs of water weight. That is about 1-liter. Now, a thing you need consider how much salt you are getting from food. Humans have been perfectly fine eating food with extra salt added. Typically, people would get 500 to 1000 mg of salt just from eating whole foods. Most people eat processed foods, which have more salt. So, we probably are not salt deprived. We are constantly digesting food we eat and taking in that salt. Unless you are fasting, and working out, you probably are slowly getting salt back into your body.  I will say electrolyte powder is probably beneficial for people for intense training or long endurance activities in the perspective of improving fluid retention (helps in recovery) and preventing cramping. I would say, just drinking water is way more important in general. For something like running marathons, absolutely beneficial. For golf, this is a marginal benefit.  In terms of ideal electrolyte ratios, you want to be in the 2:1 to 4:1 sodium to potassium ratio. Though, I have also seen ratios closer to 20:1. This mechanism is vital for nerve impulses, cell volume control, and kidney functions. Potassium is essential for muscle contractions. Magnesium is good for muscles function as well.  Ultima Replenisher: 55mg salt, 250mg potassium, 100mg magnesium.  *Probably good for people who don't eat a lot of whole foods, or foods with a lot salt. Probably one in the same, lol.  LiquidIV: 500mg salt, 370mg potassium, no magnesium.  LMNT: 1000mg salt, 200mg potassium, 60mg magnesium. Skratch: 400mg salt, 50mg potassium, 50mg magnesium.  Transparent Labs: 500mg salt, 250mg potassium, 50mg magnesium. If I had to choose one, I would probably go with Skratch. My diet isn't 100% whole foods, so I get plenty of salt.  Note, if you have kidney issues, I would be wary of adding excessive salt. Salt can be very hard on the kidneys, and you might be negating the benefits of drinking that water. 
    • I ran the nutrients for Ultima Replenisher  by my friend who is nutritionist. She said it was a decent breakdown. So I bought the berry and lemonade packs at Target. Will give a try on the course today.
