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...

Focus, connect and follow through!

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.

      Back in my Army days a "gooch" was a particular part of the anatomy. Example, say Okeechobee is the b-hole of Florida, then Belle Glade would be the gooch. Seems he wears his name well.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DaveP043 ·

      I can't say that I remember a lot of individual putts, but I do have one specific memory.  The first time I played the Old Course, I had hit a pretty good drive on the 6th hole.  I had about 60 yards left, and due to the swale in front of the green, there was no chance of flying a wedge on or near the green and having it stop on the green.  My caddie recommended either a running 7-iron chip or a putt, and I took the putter and a pretty hard swing.  The ball rolled over humps and through hollows, disappeared into the swale in front of the green, and re-appeared heading right at the hole.  I ended up maybe 12 feet away.  The caddie turned and held out his hand to shake mine, and said "Now THAT was a golf shot!"

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By DaveP043 ·

      For the first time since 2021, I made a 3 on the 12th at Stoneleigh.    395 yards, something like 80 feet uphill, I hit a solid drive and a 7-wood to inside a foot.  Even I couldn't miss that one.  I feel like I haven't played a lot of golf this year, but I'm making decent progress.
