Just happened to notice one of our forum caretakers is 31 today.

Happy Birthday, i!

Here's hoping you're on the links somewhere and not reading here today. :)

Unfortunately it's supposed to reach a high of 32, but I'll be out tomorrow, I think.

Thanks.

I've spent most of my life golfing - the rest I've just wasted.

In my bag todayâ¦.

Haven't seen him play golf, but he's a damn fine photographer.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

That's the bizarre thing about photography: I'd say the opposite.

I think I absolutely suck as a photographer. And hey, I shot my age today in the temperature: it reached 33°. I'll get out tomorrow - supposed to hit 49.

Sorry. You're wrong, mate. I've checked out your photo blog and there are some gorgeous images there. Great eye for design, detail, very elegant appreciation of subtlety and beauty in very simple, everyday things. Perfect understanding of artistic use of depth of field.

You seem to live in a very nice part of the world too.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Happy Birthday!!!!! Young buck....31 years old......ah those were the days.... . I'd sure love to have my driver length back from my 31 year old days!

Hope the weather will soon allow you to play as often as you'd like.


Thank you for all you do with this forum. It certainly is a great place to "hang out" and share the golfing bug with everyone.

I will also disagree. I am a professional photographer, and I can say with certainty that many of your images quite good. Photography is a very subjective medium. It's good to be self-critical, but ease up on yourself. You definitely don't "absolutey suck".

And did I read that right, you shot 31?

I wasn't being hard on myself to fish for compliments. And I really don't sit here and beat myself up, but I do tend to see the things I would like to improve rather than the things I've done right.

I wrote more about it there, if you're inclined to look.
And did I read that right, you shot 31?

No, the temperature reached my age, that's all.

BTW, it's a bit odd, but I share my birthdate (March 23) with my father-in-law. He's got 38 years on me, though. Next year he's 70 - maybe we'll have strippers! J/K...

Sucking up will get you nowhere.

And yeah, I'm a big fan of self-deprecating humor. Doesn't really come across as well as I'd like most of the time... part of the reason I talk crap about my own work... Anyway, if y'all like the pictures (or hate 'em), do me a favor and give them ratings with the stars. Some images have only two or three ratings. Visit daily, and rate 'em. Be honest, and it's totally anonymous. Give something 1 star if you hate it, give it 5 if you love it, whatever. If you have two minutes to spare and really like OR hate an image, tell me why with a comment. http://photos.nslog.com/browse and http://photos.nslog.com/index.php?x=ratings are two good pages to see, too. The latter will show you the images that could use a few more ratings (any image with less than five or six ratings is statistically meaningless...).

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 128: 5/3/24 Spent 10 minutes chipping and putting at The Creek golf course after visiting a relative.  Greens are slow, and I putted quite well. Perhaps I should seek courses with much slower greens!

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By snapfade ·

      Not to take away from the OP's question but the Snell 3.0 is about all you could ask for in a ball. I'm not a paid spokesman and my opinion does not reflect on the owner of the site. Lexi Thompson could beat most people with a Top Flite, or a Nitro. Ben Griffin? He doesn't offer a lot of street cred so I'll pass. Now if Fat Perez or Heavy Ballesteros start using it then?????? 😀

      RIP Peter Oosterhuis

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Just read that Peter Oosterhuis passed away. He was the one and only celebrity I have asked for an autograph! In September 2007, I was in the Charlotte Airport awaiting a flight reading my October 2007 Golf Magazine. It was during the FedEx playoffs and Tiger had just won the previous tournament with the Tour Championship the next event. I watched the event listening to the dulcet tones of Peter Oosterhuis, among others. I opened the magazine, and started reading an article about Oosterhuis and the opening picture had him posing as James Bond in a movie’s opening sequence. I looked up from the article and he was sitting directly across from me!    I approached and showed him the article and asked if he would sign the photo. Mr. Oosterhuis asked “Are you keen on golf?” When I responded positively, we spoke for about 10 minutes discussing the fact that both Phil and Tiger had won FedEx events prior to the Tour Championship. He was very gracious and a wonderful storyteller. I was saddened by his battles with dementia and missed him on CBS’s telecasts.

      Day 50. Hand path follow through and face control technique work. 🤯 in a good way.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By Clemsonfan ·

      I have been playing the Tour X for several years and find it to be a great ball. I buy them at Golf Galaxy and they often run sales. Was able you buy a box of 48 for $90 after applying a coupon from Dick’s Sporting Goods. I am a big fan!
