Rickp Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Early part of my career I felt the same way but as business climate and employee problems changed thru the years I was happy to get away. Because of the nature of my job I never took more than a week at a time. But I took a week at least every quarter or else I'd go nuts. It took me a long time to get "normal" after retiring. Every once in a while I'll tell my wife maybe I should get a part time job but she's against it. Since she is the Home CEO I'm not working!

On their deathbed nobody ever said, I wish I had spent more time at work. But I know everyone needs to recharge now and then. I'm fortunate with this job, it's not all work. I take a few work trips a year where golf is the primary activity and meetings are minimal. As to your last Post. Two years ago I was at that point. I had been in management with a major hotel company for almost 25 years. When my current opportunity came, it was perfect timing and working for a great company. Two years in and nothing could be better. Now to make it 10 more years and I'll be facing that same decision you have. cksurfdude and Rickp 2 Quote G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kor.A.Door Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 It was very painful to say the least. How something that little can put such a hurting on a human is surreal. The important thing is get medical attention asap. If I had waited another day, some serious damage could have been done.

kardboard.kid Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Ok, I played as a sub last week for a customers league. The hacker, I mean golfer I played got 1, or 2 strokes every hole. In order to beat him I needed to birdie almost every hole. Of course he won 8-12. He got 2 points for lower round score. S so I almost pulled it off.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Not sure of the motive of not letting a group "play thru" but that's the way they do it.

They are mostly partying in the middle of the fairway though, and in the woods every shot looking for wayward shots.
