I get a good deal of time off b/c (Tues off, half days Thu and Fri, and weekends off), but I'm married, with two young daughters...

So, even getting out to play a single round can be contentious with the wifey.

If I had it my way, I'd be out there whenever I'm not at the office. If my wife had it her way, she'd throw out my clubs;)

So, I'm satisfied with my once a week round. I'll usually get out at least once a week and hit at least a warmup bucket.

I am 24, I graduated from the University of Arkansas with a degree in Business Management with minor in Chemical Engineering and Economics.  I own 49% of a large pawn shop.  I worked for our other shop during my first 2 years of college and then when we opened a new store I moved to it to manage it.  After a year I was given 25% of the business and then have had to purchase my other percentages.  I enjoy the work and it is very financially rewarding.  I don't get as much time off to hit the golf course as I want since I generally work 6 days a week, but I usually play every Sunday.

I'm a community manager at the Belgian National Railway Company. I got a bachelor in IT-webdevelopment and I'm passionate about economy, finances, IT and communication. So if the opportunity shows up I would love to do a master in economy or communication one day. :)

Hey all, new, joined last week.  Figured I'd introdue myself.  Currently in the Army as an 11B.  My ETS is within a year so I'll be heading back home to MD within the year.  Been golfing since 15, but finally dedicating to the game.   Look forward to talking golf here.

I'm an engineer for T-Mobile. Usually I'm on the forum in the evening on my phone more often than my laptop. Wish I could play a lot now often than I do! Used to play about 25x a year, now it's maybe 5. Ouch! 2 little ones at home

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum. I'm from Massachusetts and work as an operator for a manufacturing facility in Plymouth. We use a process known as "Photo-Etching" to make precision metal parts, RFI and EMI shields, as well as flex circuits. Our customers include the United States Department of Defense, aerospace and medical industries, energy and power sectors and many more fields that require ISO controlled documentation and product. We also Electroplate and Electropolish, Laser-cut, and provide coating/painting properties for our customers.

With that said this is the most intriguing job I've ever had, loads of opportunity and always something to learn. Although being an operator for 7 years wasn't part of the plan, it's a very rewarding job knowing every order I produce is moving other industries forward and improving the world we live in.

I hope to get to know you all well and maybe play a round or 2 with some of you. Anyone from the South Shore in MA should get in touch with me, I'm available in the afternoons during the week and any weekend.

P.S. In closing ; Treat your operators as if they might be your boss someday, because this kid is climbing the ladder B-) .

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
