Har in the Hat

Thank you 3???? Time sure does go by. Spent the last week in Philadelphia doing a training session. Looking forward to getting it done and moving on.

Hi guys I'm back and after absence thought maybe I should re- introduce my self. I have been absent for a bit and I think I owe you spies an explanation. And especially to the ones that know me and the ones I respect immensely here and enjoy their banter. I work with CertainTeed in an insulation manufacturing plant. Our plant was very top heavy in the management area and with numerous restructuring ( ie layoffs). We went from 8 managers down to 3. Thus us three have had to assume the duties of the other 5. Thus the days were long and work ended up coming home with me as well. And with the brutal temps up here in the last few months ( with wind chill, temps hit -30 to - 45 C), golf was not on my mind. And my exercising even stopped. Things have settled down now. And I want to meet some people and I have a commitment to get the northwest get together going and a commitment to those members. Now myself. I have been here for about .... I can't really recollect. I think about a year and a half. I joined because I wanted to gain some knowledge and also be part of a group of people that were also nuts about golf as I was. And as I got more involved here, it became addictive. And the quality of this site in terms of content and personnel as I found out with time are second to none. I hail from Medicine Hat, Alberta. A small community in the southeast part of the province. Pop. About 65k. I started golfing in 1998 and handicap hovers around 19. Last year I had the privilege of being selected as a tester for the ping i500's that I need to continue on this year. I have the Shot scope now and am ready to start collecting data. I just worry that I might not have time this summer. All the North American insulation plants are implementing SAP in July. I have also had to assume some of those duties in the sense of getting all the maintenance and MRO systems ready so they can be transferred over. My golfspy name is Har in the Hat..thus becomes evident Medicine Hat is referred to simply as " The Hat".

Message sent guys. Sorry for the absence. I'm back

Went out today and took advantage of the unseasonally warm weather.

So please share your secret... How did you get your wife's approval? I need to know

Guys. As I have been planning and organizing the NorthWest golf outing for MGS, I have been thinking why do we not have a get together in a central location for anyone interested. Now it is a little late to plan and organize for 2019, but what is your thought for a 2020 MGS golf outing in a central American location for anyone interested. What are your thoughts.

That's a new code. Great deal. And welcome ME. I can't wait for winter to end and start using this.

I wonder if thoughts about what you read on this thread will creep into your head while you are practising? Not to be dismissive of all the posts here and the contributions, but I agree with Chisag, taking advice from others or thinking of what others say about your swing could create chaos in your mind as you process this information or worse yet... start second guessing and thereby damage the progress by your instructor. But my 2 cents only.

Is this leader board active? When I clicked on it nothing happens.

Thanks for the reminder.

I have the first generation Sunmountsin cart as well that has the inner tubes. If you go on Sunmountain's website, they offer replacement solid rubber tires. I see this was already mentioned Sorry

That's a good point that I never thought of. I think it would make more sense to get a portable power pak

Done. Good luck and as another spy mentioned. Please keep us in the loop for future developments and updates

That is nice. Congrats. Post some pics afterwards

$575 isn't bad considering Tony is saving is $425 bucks

How much are we talking about?

I bow down to people who use large format. That's how the big guys did it

Mirrorless is making big gains in the industry and the reason dslr's are the same size as the cameras of print film is because of the mirror. I was reading an article recently about the transition from film to digital and to minimize the impact / perception of the change on the public, manufacturers kept the changes to a minimum and hence stuck with the mirror. And hence that is why DSLR cameras are the same size. Only now are they realizing that the mirror is not needed and with the disappearance, they will be smaller, have less moving parts, and quicker reaction times. If you go with a standard Dslr there are 2 formats. 1. DX size which has a smaller sensor size ( 25 mm x ?? as opposed to the 35 mm size). Hence the lenses for DX have what's called a crop factor and say for example, you use a 50 mm lense, it will give the same field of view as a 75 mm lense (50 x crop factor of 1.5 = 75mm lens). The second type is a FX DSLR and the sensor is the same size as the sensors used for 35mm cameras. The field of view if the lenses are the same as originally. I used the Nikon View software that comes standard with the cameras. Correct. Film is coming back and I still have all my old 35mm cameras. I have 2 Minoltas.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I went through these codes again and it got me thinking about the last year and the overall behaviour that has been exhibited here. You guys rock

i used to do photography since i graduated until i met my wife. And then it went by the wayside. Well, with the family getting sick and then finally my turn, i picked up our camera (Nikon D7100) and startedn fooling around with it. And now the itch has come back. I did not see a specific thread on this, so i tought i'd start one and share some pics and more as time progresses. As there is a thread on Pics from the course, i thought i'd stay away from that topic here. So please feel free to add. this first pic is an old one and i decided to see what i could do with some post processing and the second pic is the result.
