Needed a complete frame off restoration. Based on estimates for body work, painting, mechanical etc. the cost far exceeded the value of the car in excellent condition. The guy who bought it is a 'hobbyist' that does all of that work himself. Even with the work required I still got a great price for it. Well, this post is especially for @tony@CIC.......................... today for me was a NO GOLF day, as there was a car show in Rochester, MI (home of Leader Dogs) put on by the local Lion's Club with all proceeds donated to the Dogs. There were about 300 cars in attendance, and all entry fees went directly to the Dogs, as well as any 50/50 ticket money. They raised about $9000.00 today.

rkj427 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 The only reason I ever go to this event is because of the money they raise for Leader Dogs. I try to participate or support most events which support that charity as what they provide those less fortunate who are unable to see for absolutely free is an amazing thing. They only get funds from private type donations, no government support at all. They raised about $9000.00 total today as all of the proceeds were donated directly to Leader Dogs. I have gone to this event for many years and any awards are "People's Choice" where the general public walking around get ballots and fill them in for the cars they think should win. This wasn't a wasted day for me and taking my car there for the event either. sirchunksalot, BIG STU, Rickp and 5 others 6 2 Quote Driver & Fairway: Titleist TSR3 10 degree - Ventus TR Blue & TSR3 15 - Project X Hzrdus Smoke Black Hybrid: Callaway Apex UW 19 - Hzrdus Smoke Black Irons: Titleist T200 3G (4) & T150 - (5-G) - Project X LZ Wedges: Vokey SM8 54, and 58 Putter: Cameron Phantom X 7 Ball: Pro V1 & Maxfli Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny B Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 It's Monday. I get to the range around 10:30am; practice pitching a few ball onto the pitching green to warm up. Doesn't take long at 90º. I head to the range for my full swing drills. Range is pretty full; some people warming up with a small bucket before their tee time, some with a large bucket that will be there for awhile. Most all of them are younger; everyone is younger than I am, but I'm looking at 20-40 year-old men and women.

Whatever, I don't like it on my ball or putter... kinda sticky. Seems to work though; best looking greens this time of the year since I've been a member. Actually the sticky stuff is added just to do that be sticky as not to let the chemical or fertilizer run off its intended surface Shapotomous, silver & black, cksurfdude and 1 other 4 Quote Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.

I know a few of my lunch breaks have been spent at the range or chipping/putting at the nearest golf course. One of my golf buds is a regional manager for a major retail company. They did have an office here before the pandemic.They shut it down and he worked on his computer from home. They decided it was cheaper to keep the office closed so now he works from home all the time. He lives on the 2nd hole of our course. Only drawback for him is he basically has to work during normal retail business hours so he can not sneak out in the mornings and it has been too darn hot and humid lately to play the afternoon . Some mornings I slip by and have a cup of coffee with him artful_golfer, Kenny B, cksurfdude and 1 other 4 Quote Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.

Most of them we headed to the 1st tee after they hit their balls. It did start with COVID; prior to that, the course was empty after 10am except for a few of us old guys. Now you can't get a tee time before 3pm. silver & black, tommc23, MDGolfHacker and 2 others 2 1 2 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you are on the range beating balls.... You mistakenly used the past tense of the verb in that sentence!! Although I have to give you credit for an improvement in my putting over the last month or so since I started looking at a spot on my line instead of the ball. I know you do this and figured I would try it since I was frustrated with my putting. 90º is cool here... it's dry remember? The hottest time of the day is 4-5pm. 106-108º on Wednesday and Thursday, but I'm leaving for the Oregon Coast where the high is only going to be 65º with low at night of 55º.. Glad you are putting better, although I don't look at a spot on the line... I look at the hole. At least I'm not looking at the ball!! I can lag long putts pretty well judging the distance by looking at where I want the ball to end up. However, when I look at the ball, I seem forget the distance and sometimes I only putt the ball about halfway!! Whatever works I guess. EDIT: Oh yeah... FYI... I am NOT a sir. I am El Conquistador.
