How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score?
I've played a few times throughout the years, but didn't actually try (sober) until a couple years ago. Golf is much easier when you only see 1 ball My handicap is around 10. I image that's where it'll stay. I'm not a fan of chasing scores, I'll leave that stress for the pros.
What do you love about golf?
I love the wide range of people that play the game. I also love the analytics and details that make up every part of the game. I could talk about those 2 categories for a lifetime.
What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?
A friend got into golf this season and is absolutely killing it! I've watched the MGS vids, but didn't know about the forums (website, etc) until he mentioned it. I'm hoping to gain more insight from folks who nerd-out over the details like me.
Where are you from? What is your home course?
I'm from all over, but have lived in Lincoln Nebraska since 2010-ish. My home course is this little par-3, Jim Ager GC. Amazing staff and the groundskeeper does an amazing job.
What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?
The best has to be the people, but I might be a bit biased for the Midwest. The worst is the midwest weather. I might sound like goldilocks, but it's either too hot or too cold!
What do you do for a living?
I'm retired military, but I've picked up a few jobs. I work at Jim Ager GC, which is incredible fun to see youth golf, college students, and the weekend warriors. I work for Herostock, a Veteran support organization & I work at a local gym as an admin and pt.
How’d you pick your user name?
My user name came about from a book in the early 1800's. A story about a wondering golfer with a disdain for his father and his shoe shine profession. He was working as a pool-boy to earn money to play in the US Open, but his father forbid it...just kidding, the name was convenient.
Absolutely, we'll make it happen.
