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.......

RUSS's avg drive - 230yrds and climbing

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.

    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
    • I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
