I raced Radio Controlled Oval cars for about 10 years before quitting back in 2006. Actually racked up 3 national championships and roughly 10 sponsors including a company called Customworks owned by Nascar driver Tony Stewart. Fun while it lasted but no money involved so I racked up way too much debt.
Below is video from my old home track in Akron, OH. Ran tracks everywhere from Blountville TN to Sandhills & Chatham NC.

I'm also a musician, started playing bass in a "for fun" local band recently, something I haven't done in a very long time. Also enjoy woodworking; I am working on a Stickley dining room table right now.

My non-golf hobbies include travel, snowmobiling and working out. Golf is my main hobby and it takes up so much time, money and energy that it doesnt leave room for many other hobbies.

I am a card magician, and I often spend hours in my back yard with a mower making it look like a minny golf course (I dont get to play as much as I need to).

  • 2 weeks later...
over the past summer Golf was pretty much my only hobby. As fall has arrived, I have season tickets to the Chicago Bears, and we tailgate so that takes up 8 weekends a year. After the football season is over, I snowmobile up in Eagle River, WI. and I hope to get out and snow ski some this winter since I have taken a few years off the slopes, will depend on how the snow is in the midwest.

In previous summers I have owned a sports car, or motorcycle, or both. However, for the last two (since getting married) I have not. Hoping that changes next summer.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

I've been an avid fisherman for 20+ years. I have a feeling though that now that I've got the golf bug my fishing is going to take a back seat to that.

As far as fishing goes I've been into the following:

Started out competitive bass fishing when I was in my late teens. Fished in several pro/am tournaments around california/arizona/nevada. Unfortunately due to school I had to put the bass fishing on hold. Took allot going out to lakes 2 weekends prior to a tournament to prefish then the actual tournament. Difficult on a 18-19 yo's budget.

After I finished college I moved onto deep sea fishing. Was lucky to know several people in the fishing industry so I opportunities to do some long range trips 5-16 day fishing trips out of san diego, ca. Its amazing how at 21-22 I could afford not only the gear, trips itself, and the time off. Now that I'm 33 there is no way I could get away on a 10 day trip. Glad I had the opportunity when I did though.

A few years back I got pretty heavy into the kayak fishing thing. This allowed me the opportunity to get some exercise and get out more often. Always nice to be able to get out for a few hours after work and just paddle around and relax. Its amazing how therapeutic a day on the ocean can be when work stresses you out.

Nice, I spent some time myself with cards and coins, but it has been quite some time since I last did any performing for an audience.

    • Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out. 
    • Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though. 
    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
    • I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
