    Living close to HQ, I’ve dabbled in seeing if I could go be a part of that. My addiction would be through the roof. 😅

    The Tl;Dr version is this. I did the ancestry dna kit in 2016. My brother also did his a year or so later. Didn’t really look much into it. 2022 came and got an email notification I had a new match on there. Never opened up those emails until then. It was my brother but it said half sibling. Found I had a complete different dad. Reached out to people on that side through there and through investigation on Facebook. Led me to now. Better write up if you want to read it is in the good evening thread on Wednesday.

    Wheelieb got a reaction from ejgaudette in L.A.B. DF3 Putters - 2024 Forum Review   
    I bought a small one on amazon that has a phone holder that is springy and holds it tight. I'm pretty positive it was all of 10 bucks, but that was also like 3 years ago. I've been using it more often on the course and just keep my phone in it. once you figure out how far back you need to set it for your liking it is pretty quick.
     
    Ok, main reason I came here. I went to the Golf galaxy here close to me and they had the DF3 there. I don't need a putter, but as a kid who had to play around with a toy in a store I decided to give it a few hits on their putting green. I have to remind myself I don't need a new putter. To be fair I did hit the other models as well and it was almost the same for all of them. But I don't need a new putter.

    Well, since I’ve boarded my last flight to St. Louis. Story time. 
     
    In August of 2022 I got news that my dad had cancer. The extent wouldn’t be found until four months later when it was found to be stage 4. My brother and I knew it was only a matter of time before he was gone. I told him I’d be surprised if he was still with us January of 2024. Well 2016 I had did the ancestry dna kit to see my countries of origins. It was cool seeing all the places my ancestry took me. Fast forward to December of 2022, two months after I got married I got an email from ancestry telling me I had a new match. For some reason I opened it, as I had not ever opened one of them before. I saw it was my brother, but instead of saying sibling it said half-sibling. I called and spoke to him and we decided to keep that between us two. But this led to looking into more stuff. We found that I was the John Snow (if anyone gets that, you get to start 2 under in your next round of golf). The man who I grew up knowing as my dad passed away in November of last year. It was a rough time. My brother and I made a decision we were going to confront our mom about it. She confirmed that I was the John Snow. With the help from ancestry website and 23andMe, I found two people I reached out to on my biological fathers side both would be an aunt and uncle. I got a response back and have been talking to that side of the family I have never known or met since March of this year. I found and have also been talking to my biological father since March as well. I am flying back to Missouri to actually meet him and a few other members of that side of the family for the first time. To say I’m excited, nervous, and all emotions in between is an understatement. But I told my wife I wanted to meet him first in order to make sure he is a good person. There was a week or so I would hit the forum hot and be off and running in numerous areas of the forum. But between testing the SQAIRZ Velo shoes and trying to get to know my biological dad, I’ve taken a back seat to posting as much. I’m hoping these next 5 days goes well so I can foster a relationship with him and that side of the family. So that’s my story right now.
