Big hockey fan, and the Carolina Hurricanes. Used to go to some practices and game day skates, and Brett Hedican always skated by and waved to my son. Brett was #6, and the Canes won the Cup in 06.

Mine comes from a former baseball coach. He loved playing aggressively and gave me the best hitting instruction I've ever received:  "Hands high, let it fly."

My nickname, "Cannonball" is also from my HS Baseball Coach.  In one game, and while sliding into 2nd base on two occasions in a game, I broke a SS's leg and a 2B's arm.  So, Coach called me Cannonball.  I am still referred to in my hometown, which is a half hour away, as Cannonball. I use "Cannonball" on a lot of sites.

CoachB25 is what players called me.  and 25 was my uniform number when I coached baseball.

Coach (me) to player, "Hey, what percentage of putts left short never go in?"  Player, "Coach, 100% of putts left short never go in."  Coach (me), "Exactly."  Player, "Coach what percentage of putts that go long never go in."  LOL!

Mine is perfect for me, as it covers a lot. Aviation background, served as a cadet Sergeant in the Civil Air Patrol, the stealth fighters nickname is the nighthawk, and hwk was a part of the license plate of one of my favorite vehicles. Its a handle Ive used for a long time.

    • after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....
    • this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.
    • day 57. Technique practice in the net. Really trying to slow down. 
    • It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.
    • As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
