I've been a day trader for almost 3 years now ... this market volatility makes it pretty easy. I also build high-end home stereo speakers to order, but unlike day trading, this economy isn't very supportive of that.

It just went to the body shop a week ago, I'll get new shots when it's back. Nice, another Mazda man ... they do know how to make cars with feel. I've owned a rotary since I was 16 and plan on going to the grave with one! How much did it cost to freight your FD to Norway?

Hey guys, thanks for the nice site and looking forward to being a part of it. I'm 35 and have been golfing since I was old enough to drive myself to the course. During late high school and early college I played 3-5 rounds a week, and actually got pretty decent. I once played a round with a couple guys from the University of Missouri team and held my own. But then I married a controlling wife, had a kid, got divorced, bounced around for awhile, and just now have got things stable again. Anyway I've only been playing once a year or so for the last 5-7 years, and it's been frustrating to say the least. This year I've played 5 rounds, my new Father-in-law takes me out a lot. Well last weekend we had a family scramble and a great time, but I lost a club. I've been playing the same clubs since college - Lynx Parallax irons and Callaway Great Big Bertha driver and woods. I learned on an old set of forged blades, so the Lynx were a revelation for me at the time. After I lost my Parallax pitching wedge last weekend I figured it was time to finally get a new set of clubs (gee, ya think) So I've been going to every range in the area this week and demo'ing what I can. I hit a lot of clubs, but really like the Cobra S9 irons. They just felt perfect, and found a used set that fit my fitment needs perfectly - +.5 length with stiff Nippon shafts ... so I brought those home yesterday. I also picked up a beautiful TaylorMade R7 Limited driver with a Pershing 65 Stiff shaft. I literally was amazed at how well I hit that driver, for years I've been driving with my 3 iron because I have no confidence in my old driver. Well I think that's about to change! I made a bit of a strage decision for a fairway wood, a Cobra M-Speed offset. But fairway woods have always been hard for me, and I couldn't argue with how consistently well I hit this club ... and it was only $25! Another new thing for me were some hybrids, I'd never hit one in my life before but I think I'm going to like them. I got a Cobra Baffler TWS 18* and 23* hybrid. So my new bag is set, and I have people to play with regularly. I'm excited to be back in the game. This afternoon I'm going to play at the course up the road from me where it's $18 for 18 holes with a cart ... dirt cheap, and it's a decent course. Anyway, nice to be here

My Father-in-law has this DVD ... supposed to let me borrow it this weekend, I'll report back.
