Not much to tell but here's the thumbnail.

Mid-50's gray haired guy who's been married to the same woman for 35 years, with two grown children and three grands.

Been golfing off and on since 1975 (age 20)

Own three sets of clubs -- a set of Hogan Apex blades (mid 70's vintage), a set of Ping i/3's, and a set of Pete Bridges "Cloners" (that are actually my favorites).

Other --

- Motorcyclist

- Truck guy

- Former Marine

Graduate of the U of A when Coach Conrad Rehling was at his peak and when a student who took golf for his PE credits could play all day at the U o A course for $2.50.

Onward...

A buddy of mine worked at Harry Pritchett Golf Course back when we were there in the early 1990s, and he used to talk about Coach Rehling  hanging around the course and giving all sorts of great tips.  That friend of mine became a PGA pro himself.

Roll Tide and welcome aboard.

Thanks for the greetings!

My apologies for the double post. When I clicked submit the computer hiccuped and I thought it did not take, so I clicked it again only to later find it double-took.

BTW, reading the sport section this morning Alabama Women's Golf has a shot at the national championship. I'll be interested in following that story.

Best to all,

Rick

      Day 237 (26 Dec 24) - played 18 with niece and her husband at one of the local courses.  We were first out - so we pretty had our own pace of play.  First few holes were a struggle, but the groove started by hole 5.  The green side wedge game kicked in - had several kick in up and down pars.  Best of the day - had my first ever sandie birdie on #9. It’s a neat par three with a pot hole bunker - found it off the tee.  Had about a 22yd shot from the bunker to the flag.  Hit an easy shot out with the 54 that hit softly and gently rolled center cup.  Had several other close wedge shots into others that were close but no hole out.  Was a great day with the green side wedge game - and seeing solid fruit from the drills.

      Day 16: 12/26/2025 A little more mirror work today. Then out to the garage net.  The first part of my PPJ swing thought is really starting to stick. The J still takes some focus. Plus, I'm still putting a priority on getting all the way to my finish.
