The name of my first band. I was 15 and playing drums at the time... used to play some jazz type grooves over heavy metal guitar riffs. The name kind of fit the sound of the music. Then the year I was born.

I've always had a tough time coming up with names quickly. At some point back in the mid 90's I was struggling to come up with a Madden team name or something and my cousin said "Hand me your controller!" and proceeded to enter the name Rudygu for me. I've used it for everything since that moment. No, Rudy is not my real name.

My user-name comes from what I say when I hit the ball really well or terrible. When I make it big I'd love to make some 'Stay True' apparel and compete with Life is Good.

KDEpic is my new replacement username... It's just my nickname with Epic which works well for online gaming but not so much with the game of golf, yet I changed it from my old username which people always gave me a "WTF" look from inside my computer screen and that one was "ComicalSauce" When I was like 6 I wanted "KennyD" to be my username for Age of Empires on TheZone or something lame but it recommended SadPaintbrush11 (favorite number) or ComicalSauce (no idea where it came from) I died laughing so it's been my username up until very recently when I found out it's funny to a 6 year old but confusing and stupid to everyone else.

I got part of my name back around 1976, well before the gentleman from Stanford U's golf team took the PGA Tour by storm.

I was a Mizzou Tiger as an undergraduate. When I got in the Marine Corps, a lieutenant from Nebraska got on my case, taunted me as a "Tigger" and promised that his Cornhuskers would give my Tigers a sound thrashing on the football field. Two years in a row, Mizzou upset the 'Huskers in grand style. The Tiger name stuck.

Later, I was Siberian Tiger because I went on a teaching exchange to Russia.

Finally, I became WUTiger , as WU are the initials of the private university where I teach full-time.

Focus, connect and follow through!

one day back in college some of my teammates were trying to figure out how to spell ''chipotle,'' cause they wanted to eat there. so he started calling me that, then all the sprinters started to call me that, and it kinda stuck. thankfully, nobody calls me that but my old teammates.

    • 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).
