Just combined my long time love/hobby with my (hopefully) new long term hobby.

Too soon to tell but I might have a new obsession.

I have used this name since I first started playing video games online. Now that im in my 30's it might be time to pick a new one, but old habits are hard to break.

My last name is Pressley...lots of Elvis stuff growing up. Stopped fighting it years ago and went with it. Some friends still call me Elvis. I play a lot of sports and 14 is my jersey number (comes from Pete Rose). Thus elvis14. I've used it on internet boards for almost 20 years now. I first remember using it in the early 90's on MR2 boards (then Miata and WRX boards and various softball, golf, flag football, and Duke Basketball boards).

My Dad's name is Skip. He used to coach hoops at my old high school, and I had a freshman biology class with one of his senior players who always used to call me "Young Skip." 40 was my number on the b-ball team freshman year. That was 12 years ago now. Haha, wow.

I'd like to start a thread where you can explain your username. There are many times I wonder, why that name? Not to pick on any one person, but I have to ask, "DavidFehretysBike"? That is an interesting one...

Ghalfaire is Gaelic for golfer. My family came from Ireland. I'm a second generation American.

Varsity because I play on my Varsity team at my high school,
Golf because golf is my favorite sport, and I believe its better than anything else in the world of sports!!!!!

Thanks,

Around 1998 or so I signed up for AOL, but any combination of my name was already taken, so I used the "Suggest a Username" feature and this is what popped up. Suprisingly, it is always available :)

I picked this nickname in high school because I had long hair that resembled... well..

Wouldn't be appropiate to put on the forum what it suppose to mean, but is it something some high school friends came up with and I never have to worry about someone using it.

    • Day 130: did a stack session. 
    • Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20. 
    • Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!
    • Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
