Everyone says that the characteristics of my golf game (i.e: Hitting it out of bounds often, but able to get out of most trouble. Ballsy plays that don't always go my way. Good short game, and an imaginative mind. Can hit it long when needed. And I USED to have his hair too, but summers here and that would be a little too hot down here in 96º Florida) resemble that of Phil Mickelson.


But I'm a righty.


It's a long name, but hey, I like it. Just call me RHPM.

When I started using others forums I liked a song which is called "atrapasueños" so when I first registered in the forum I used that name and used it for every forum. "Atrapasueños" in english is "Dream Catcher".

Stiffdogg06:

The stiffdogg part just is one of the many nicknames I had while in school. My older brothers got the nickname Stiffy, Stiffdogg, etc in Football in middle school. When I started playing football in 7th grade, I also got that nickname so both of my brothers and I have these nicknames.

The '06 is the year I graduate High School.


Jared - I would like to use my initials but when I do people think I am copying Atlanta for some reason. My initials are ATL.

Wannabe -- I really wannabe a frequent golfer breaking 80 & such, but other priorities keep it on the backburner. really love it and am a huge fan, and one day will be able to play & practice enough to get where I wannabe. Until then, I watch, read, play & practice occasionally, live it vicariously through others, and keep dreamin' the dream.

Mine came from a stuttering football coach. We were encouraged to dress more formally on game days.

Back in the early eighties it was considered cool to have monogramed clothing.

Game day...I'm wearing a monogramed sweater. My initials are
W-G-W. Coach saw me coming in the locker room and tried to bust on my sweater, "Looka here-ruh, dubyah
gee dubduddubdubya".

My teamates often chose this bit of stuttering to laugh about. The nickname Dub stuck.

Mine is certainly not original, but my wife and I married almost 10 years ago. We tend to spoil each other with affection as well as material things. We started referring to each other's situation as spoiled rotten. When we purchased our 33' 5th wheel in 2005, we did like most do a ship, and named it SPOILEDROTTEN . Since then, I've used that name on all forums. The wife uses TotallyRotten, and the 12 year old uses ALittleRotten.

    • Wordle 1,652 X/6* 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 Yup - one of those Wordle moments….
    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
