No. Been working 20+ OT hours. My golf has suffered.

If you're not playing golf... What's the purpose of having more money?

Pay bills and support your family. My son has strait A's and has become a great golfer. I can help pay for his future and become even better than me as I have with my father.

Could you make significantly more money if you played significantly less golf? ...

I have a decent job, but it entails a lot of miscellaneous duties which get in the way of a "second job." So, I could make a little more money by playing significantly less golf, but not a whole lot.

Besides actually playing golf, I like to get out into the green fairways and see the trees and the outdoors. Working additional money in my line of work would mean sitting in front of a computer even more than I do. I have had minor bouts with carpal tunnel syndrome from too much keyboarding, so I think the golf would help my overall work longevity more than increased keyboard time each week. Anyway, less golf means lower morale means lower productivity. So, I guess the answer for me is NO. Let's play golf...

If you really use all your free time that you use to golf then you'll be so miserable and old by the time you get to retire and use it you won't even want it anymore.

Enjoy life while your young.

I'm back in school getting my Masters, and I make it a point to at least go out a few times, whether its to the range to work on something or on a course. Reason being is that I feel that golf is my escape. Even as frustrating the game can be, I am one that keeps working on something. I just have me, my club, and the ball. It keeps me sane under my schedule of always studying or working.

      Not really, no. I don't know the history, what you've worked on, what you've tried and moved away from… etc.

      Favorite TV Show(s)

      Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.

      By iacas ·

      Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.
