It wouldn't surprise me if most of people who spend a lot of time on the forum are.

I'm definitely an introvert. That is one of the challenges for me about golf - trying to talk to people for 4 or 5 hours while keeping a positive attitude as my ball does random crap.

I've been trying to read a book called "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" but I can't really get into it.

I'm posting as my family is playing WII and video games. I also post when we're out shopping and stuff.

Obsessed, yes. Introverted, maybe not so much?

I find I function far better at work and home if I get my alone time. Many times I golf and fish by myself. Many times I prefer it that way.

Hmmm, not sure what I am. I don't really need alone time (pretty much impossible with 3 kids) but I like it when I do get it. :)

It's the time to rest more than the alone time. . .

Yes.  The calm during the drive to work (after the hectic morning of getting kids up, dressed, fed, lunches made, and off to school) is positively euphoric. ;)

Been there, done that. My niece stayed with us a while, so I also had 3 kids. It's nice just flopping on the bed with the door closed on occasion as the kids plot their next big escapade. . . :beer:

The only change I would make for myself is in the "Why I carry a book" pie chart.  It's 95% because I love reading, and 5% to deter people from talking to me.

I love this TED talk about introversion...

I'll have to watch the entire thing, when I have some time. The "rowdy" part was pretty funny! :-D

Introvert here.

The thing is that introversion/extroversion is more of a scale than just one thing or another.  Everybody just lands on a different point on the scale.  I can be very social and very extroverted around a group of people I know well, but when I'm in a group I don't know very well or if the group doesn't hold my interest then I zone out and prefer to be in my own mind or to be alone.

Has anybody hear hear of the Myers-Briggs personality stuff?  I find it very interesting.

      Gained a Lot of Club Speed in a Couple of Days With the Same Effort. Try This Out!

      By p1n9183 ·

      Even on a perfect center hit I was receiving at most 1.48 smash factor. 10 days ago on the warming up for a round my Driver made a weird sound, I checked the bottom and it was cracked. Don't know for how long it was cracked but at least this time the crack was easy visible. Maybe it was already cracked before but with a more subtle crack?.. don't know. I'm waiting for TaylorMade to approve the warranty and send me a new head. I was using the Stealth Plus, I will take the opportunity and upgrade it to the Qi10 LS paying the difference.  On Sunday with my old Titleist 915 and softer balls I was reaching 1.5, even 1.51 on center hits. Test didn't went well. Only gained 2..3 miles, not worth pursuing. Figured out that with a ball and with a target, my path was way to in to out with this new idea, so in order to move the club in the correct path I needed to slow down to redirect the club on the downswing or aim more to the right, close the face a play a big hook.. not possible. I already play a big draw with Driver, more curvature is unplayable. Yesterday at home, with no ball messed around with a more neutral path, even swinging a little out to in. It felt a lot more in sync with the body. With a big in to out path it feels like my hands are working right, away from the body, when the body is working to rotate to the left. With the path to the left is was easier to apply force thru the hitting zone.  As always tested 10 swings with my current swing (A), and 10 with this little out to in path(B).  The difference was huge, like 12 miles faster with swing (B). I knew something wasn't right. The fact was that the PRGR was aligned more in line with the (B) path so it of course was giving higher speeds. I proceeded to align it with the (A) path and tested again 5 more swings each. Again (B) was faster but only by 5 miles. (Made a tiny experiment moving the PRGR to a more extreme in to out path and the swings register 25/30% slower for both swings, so it wasn't reading properly at that angle) Finally I moved the PRGR in the middle of both paths, and this time (B) won by 9 miles. Off course, this was without a ball and a target so.. I will be hitting the range tomorrow to see the real difference.

      At Bent Tree, right? I'm surprised the greens were that slow. I played right around the corner at Northstar and their greens were normal speed. Slightly soft/receptive but not overly so and not slow or shaggy by any means.
