I am an Electrical Engineer by trade but gave worked in Manufacturing for almost 26 years. Married with two boys. Enjoy golfing, snowmobiling, computers and just hanging out at home. Actually I'm pretty boring. Just started playing a little more this summer. My clubs are 30 years old so I thought it was time to update. Got a set of Callaway XR irons coming next week. Also ordered a new OGIO silent stand bag. I am not very good. I don't expect much difference with the new clubs. I think as I use them I hope to see a difference from my old clubs. Also got a new Callaway XR driver. Believe it or not I'm gonna keep my persimmons 3 wood and 5 wood as I actuall hit the pretty well. I will eventually update but not now.

I'm a package designer in NE Illinois. I play golf whenever I can, work and weather permitting. Can't stand to play when it's hot (90s) but don't mind playing when it's cool or damp. My brother is a scratch player, but he lives in southern CA. When he needs me to do artwork for any tournament he's conducting at his club, he calls me, but pays me with golf equipment. I haven't purchased equipment in years. Recently, he paid me with two clubs—a Titleist 910D driver and a Titleist 910F fairway metal. I realize the clubs are not brand new, but he reconditions slightly older clubs and they look brand new. OK with me. My handicap isn't the best, either.

I'm always looking to improve my game. Right now looking for consistency with my drives. Fades are no problem. Draws are tougher for me to perform with any consistency.


Work as a Human Resources Generalist at a real estate company. Golf is my passion. As everyone here, I'm looking to improve every aspect of my game. I think about it way too much everyday.


I am an Accountant, working at a brewery\pubco as a financial controller. Luckily the role is quite interesting as far as accountancy goes, only other industry here is financial services which bored the hell out me.

Really just sit in a cubical thinking about golf all day.


I've been incredibly lucky. I've worked for years, full time as a painter, sculptor, and printmaker. I've had over 200 one man shows around the world. Because of my poster company(not mine but the company that represents me) I believe I have some work in every country. Sometimes do a painting about golf, which are fun to do. Most interesting show was at the American Consulate in Leipzig, in conjunction with Gallery Sud. Older guy now and more interested in playing golf with friends than painting 8 hrs a day. Looking back, wouldn't change anything.

    • Not really, no. I don't know the history, what you've worked on, what you've tried and moved away from… etc.
    • Day 9: 2/16/25 Putting through 50 mm gates from 11”. Swing pressure shift drills.
    • Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.
    • Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.
    • A question I have is…this swing (fade, pull cut) does not  feel as good and easily repeatable as the draw swing we were working on previously.  I’m kinda in a weird spot where I do not know which direction will be the best to pursue. I like seeing a penetrating 5 yard draw but also like the thought of the fade not getting away from me as much.    Any thoughts on that?
