I've been playing golf since I was 14. I've repaired and built clubs using components from Ken Smith, Golfsmith, and GolfWorks since I was 16 after spending 2 days in the Hillerich & Bradsby manufacturing plant in the 1960's observing the technicians repair clubs. My Dad and I made many tools after my visit to H&B. I have read and studied Ralph Maltby's books and writings on GolfWorks before he retired as well as other publications, blogs and YouTube. Still have my Ken Smith swingweight scale and a number of tools from Golfsmith. I work on my own clubs and repair clubs for my golf buddies for free. I made a persimmon driver from a block of wood when I was still playing persimmon woods. Played them a few months longer than Davis Love III did. Incidentally, I worked a week for his father who was the PGA Professional at an Atlanta CC, as teenager taking care of the Pro Shop with a high school golf buddy while Mr. Love focused on the Pro-Am event that was the precursor to a PGA Tournament the following year. My best handicap was a +1 in my better playing days. Play to a 4 now from the senior tees. I've won some club championships both regular and senior and local county events and was a member of the Furman University Golf Team that won the University's first Southern Conference Golf title. This was many years prior to Brad Faxon's fame at Furman. I have been a My GolfSpy member almost 7 years. I have donated to My GolfSpy twice and received a thank you for my donations; however, my profile has never shown that I have donated. I began shooting my age at 68 and have shot my age or better every year since. I'll be 75 in July and shot my age over 60 times. I'm like "keywestnorm" above, don't drive it very far but my short game saves me. My golf buddies call me "Up and Down". Swing speed is way down due to two shoulders that need to be replaced; however, I don't want to be away from the game due to the length of recovery. Have to spend more time loosening & warming up. I inherited patience and attention to detail from my father which I think would be beneficial as a Tester. I read My GolfSpy posts and reviews. I have posted very few comments. Prefer to read and learn. I would take testing seriously. I have applied for testing numerous times and never been accepted. Stopped applying a few months ago after reviewing the listing of preferred criteria, especially the section on posting and commenting. Thanks for asking.
