We should list the things for which we're thankful, no?

I'll start.

I'm thankful to "know" all of you guys. Disagree or agree, the discussions are always good and we're all passionate about the game of golf.

I'm thankful that I know of a sport like golf which can provide so much off the course, and which I can play for the rest of my life. And this year, I'm thankful that my wife has gotten to the point where she enjoys and wants to play too.

I'm thankful for my family and friends, for the roof over my head, and that I live in one of the best countries in the world as well as the opportunities that provides.

Happy Thanksgiving to all American Sandtrappers. Here in Canada, we have our Thanksgiving in October, so no day off for us. I spend my day at work watching the score of the football games, though the day time games tomorrow seem to be clunkers.

As for what I am thankful for:
My family, my improving health (have lost 52 pounds since August 2008) and having a job that allows me to do the things I enjoy, mainly golf and hockey.

Have a great time tomorrow with your holiday and enjoy.

Great idea Erik. I am thankful for a loving wife and for two beutiful, healthy daughters. I am also thankful for some great friends who I get to share not only my passion for golf with but my journey through life.

I'm thankful for:

- my wife returning safely from 2 weeks away (sick relative), and that my daughter survived 2 weeks with daddy in charge.

- re-discovering the gentleman's game on several levels (thank you wii, ebay, the interweb), making superficial connections to golfers with varied backgrounds, golf skill levels, and beverage and sandwich preferences.

- being introduced to people's home home tracks and realizing how many options there are (e.g. iacas' two linked courses look really interesting - and difficult) in the spring and fall

- my health, continued employment (fingers crossed as always), a wife I don't deserve and hockey season

    • Day 133: did a stack session. 
    • You can pre-order an R50 here for pretty rapid shipping (these are back-ordered almost everywhere): https://www.playbetter.com/products/garmin-approach-r50-golf-launch-monitor-simulator?ghref=2301%3A700794. This is an affiliate purchase, and I'm willing to kick back lifetime ad-free Supporter membership here on TST or a 90-minute GEARS session for the cost of a regular member lesson (about 1/3 the cost). Also, I'll record a video myself soon when I get an R50.
    • Day 58 - 2024-11-27 Some quick 90-yard shots on a particular hole… before a lesson and testing out multiple Foresight Launch Monitors on GSPro.
    • Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies. 
    • 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.
