My hobbies include yelling at other golfers about how much they suck, blowing air horns when golfers swing, I'm in high school so that takes up a lot of my time.....

I bike a lot (about 2-300 feet a day), I play guitar a little bit, and am currently writing a song (with no lyrics because I don't like to make people jealous)

I do a little photography here and there. Mostly with my phone. Because my camera is at home. Because I'm always golfing.

Otherwise I work from 3-6 at my home course, and the rest is anything with the gf. Who also golfs. And kicks my ass. And I hate it.

I should start bringing my air horn on our golf outings.......

......hmmm.......

I collect interstate road signs. I have some 250 of them or so. Only the blue numbered shields with the state names on them. There are about 10 of us across the country that avidly collect these things. Many of the signs are very difficult to find these days, if not impossible, because states are replacing them with signs with no state name on them and larger numerals to accommodate the aging population that can't read the numbers from a far enough distance. The original signs are "retired" which usually means going to a scrap yard for destruction. On occasion, I will buy other interesting signs. My favorite sign?



I have a real "CAUTION" sign from the San Onofre checkpoint. Yes, the one with the illegals running across the freeway. They removed these signs and destroyed them because of continuous outrage from the Mexican community. I was fortunate enough to have a connection that had a connection so I could get one. It is possible I have one of the only remaining signs, which makes it quite valuable.

All of my signs were obtained legally by me. I buy them from people who make a business out of collectible license plates, and who dabble in signs.

I also collect vintage arcade games. Right now, most are in storage, but I have the following original arcade machines: Berzerk, Burgertime, Crossbow, Domino Man, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr, Elevator Action, Food Fight, Galaga, Joust, Jr Pac Man, Jungle King, Mad Planets, Marble Madness, Popeye, Q Bert, Qix, Satan's Hollow, Super Punch Out, Time Pilot, Tutankham, and Wizard of Wor. I've had a Robotron and a Frogger, but sold them both recently. The Robotron was not a worthy piece for my collection.

These take up a ton of space. We will likely move back east where I'll be able to get a house with a full finished basement for a really cool man cave with games, a pool table, and maybe shuffleboard.

Finally, I'm into firearms. I don't collect firearms per se, but I have a bunch, and my hobby is more about serious training with the firearms, rather than just firing range pointing and shooting.

sign collecting is a cool hobby. i have tons of old Gas & Oil signs that I've collected over the years and put them up around my garage (most of them are inside the garage due to the amount of $$$ they are worth). Lots of old Texaco, Auto Lite, Goodyear, Misc Battery manufacturers, etc.

This sounds awesome! I am also a transplanted East Coaster in Southern California for the time being, and I've been thinking more and more lately that I want to get back to the East Coast lifestyle. I have a long way to work until I get to this point, but one day decently soon I hope to have a decent sized yard to mess around in and a big enough man-cave to have friends over and shoot pool, etc etc...it just feels like there is not enough space to go around in Southern California to be able to really relax quite as much. Northern California could work, but I just think I fit in better on the East Coast, plus I have more family and friends.

My main intrest is golf but my first love led me to start my own business that is pretty much over now(still have a few long time customers to help) due to breaking my neck 3x and that was Go Kart racing/sales and service....My father and I ran our own parts shop and also took care of engine building and chassis set up and building. Right now we take young drivers and teach them the basics of karting and some driving lessons as well

I am an avid outdoorsman and sports player. Aside from golf, I love to hunt and be in the woods. I enjoy shooting and playing all sports with friends and family. Weightlifting is another thing that I love to do and really benefits my golf game.

    • . I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years, 1 year consistently  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: inconsistent ball strike   I caught the bug about a year ago and have been playing roughly once a week. Have been getting better with my short game and putting but my ball striking from tee and fairway lets me down. Had my first lesson last month which identified an over the top swing compensated by an open club face. Have been trying everything to get on plane over the last month. Have found that using a bend and press into my left leg as the trigger for my downswing coupled with finding the turn and rotation in both my arms to release the club properly has helped my get nearer to the correct plane. Video below is where I am with it currently. Haven’t taken this new swing to the course yet! Any comments or suggestions are welcome  Videos:  I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year properly  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 av score  
    • That's always been the deal. You put in the work hyper focused on ONE or at most two things, so that you don't have to think about anything except a single feel or the target or something on the course.
    • Blind squirrel finds a nut and putted well. no, I decided to play a round being athletic rather than paralyzing myself with swing thoughts. I have no clue if I was doing what I worked on. It was the last day and I was tired of freezing at the top of the swing not know if one of four outcomes were going to happen. 
    • Day 299 - 2025-07-26 I spent 15 minutes practicing but it was almost pointless. It wasn't good practice. I was not really in it, but I put the time in. Oh, I did some chipping work before-hand, and that was good. I could have just left after that. 🙂 
    • Well that's different.
