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 had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.

    • I've been putting whilst looking at the hole and it's definitely helped my distance control
