Out of retirement to work mornings at Home Depot.  Off at noon so work does not interfere with my new golf schedule.  My goal is to get into the 70s this season.  Lots of people at HD golf.  Very cool.  Tennis pro in early 80s.  Retired for a girl.  She took everything but shirt on my back.  Am poor but happy now with farm girl who is love of my life.  And she says it is important for me to golf.  Am  I lucky or what!!?  My friends think my new wife of 9 years must be brain damaged to love someone like me.  I agree.

Hey,

I'm a technical support engineer for a company in the UK called Focusrite. We make music recording products. I'm also trying to learn web design with a view to making a career of that.

Seems I'll fit in well with all the members with careers in IT/computing.

Hello,

I am a drilling engineer working for a multinational energy company. Currently working in the field on drilling rigs, I am enjoying my rotational schedule which allows me to play golf almost everyday when I'm not working.

thanks

Hi Joe, Great to know you are entering retirement. Retirement is really great you can do whatever you want at your own time. It is good to retire young so that we can have the energy to enjoy doing the  things we like, like playing golf everyday. I am not so lucky as most of my buddies are still workings so getting a flight of four on a daily basis seems quite difficult. I have to settle for once a week

Was a college student going to school for graphic design.  Then I started playing golf 2 and a half years ago.  Got hooked to every aspect of the game.  Not just playing I love the customer service/operations side.  I like the watch the course grow and love to make people happy and what better way to do that than a beautiful golf course.   The goal is to work hard on my game and take my PAT in September and begin the PGA program.   My dad is the owner of 2 courses currently and I hope to take in what he has to teach and follow down his footsteps.

Nothing at the moment. I'm working on getting my degree in computer science at the moment (which I should get on Saturday), and we'll see where I go from there. I might do grad school, might not.

I'm a freelance software developer. I am mainly contracted for my Java and scrum skills and like working on complex projects. The great thing about this kind of work is that the hours are flexible so that gives me a lot of freedom to hit the course when I like.

    • 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.
