Been working out since last October pretty diligently except for the time I was remodeling our Kitchen. Went to PGA Superstore today for a couple of additional 9" golf shorts. Pretty happy that I was able to fit into the 32" without sucking in my stomach! Heck of a surprise especially since I went home after and weighed myself - 165 lbs. Haven't been at that number since high school. 

Nice!!  Good for you!  

I have also lost weight since last October... down 30lbs, but I have more to lose.  I don't have a goal in mind; just watching what and how much I eat.  However, I will say that I haven't weighed 165 since junior high!!    In the late 1970's I lost a bunch of weight and got to 190lbs to run a marathon, but I couldn't maintain that weight even with daily running.  With fake and bum knees, running has not been an options for a long time.

I hate buying new clothes, especially when I have to get them because my old clothes don't fit anymore.  I know they will only be temporary, so I get the Wally World Ben Hogan golf shorts.  I bought several pair before our January trip to Palm Springs and they are already loose.  Wore a pair on Wednesday; first time since Palm Springs!!

I've found the PGA Superstore house brand called Pebble Beach not only wears as well as the big name brands but is also very inexpensive. I paid $34 for the shorts and their polo shirts generally go for about $20. Both of those are a bargain compared to Nike, UA etc. 

p.e. want me to send you my 36" shorts

Pretty happy my city’s hockey team didn’t lose today and that the one guy my whole team doesn’t like got ejected again 

[Shankster]

Wish me luck.  I should know by Friday where I will be spending the next 3-4 years of my life.  Happy to promote, but the new locations are not the best…. Could be really good, or extremely bad.  Any sort of luck thrown my way will be appreciated.

I am not sure what I did… but my wife told me I can get an entire new set of clubs, from Driver to Putter, including a bag…

I double check that it wasn’t April fool’s day, she said that all yesterday.

I thought so myself… but it appears to be a free and clear offer… as I’m typing that I realize that she probably wants a new car, or some elaborate vacation, or maybe trying to talk me into another dog, or KID… wish me luck fellas.

You’re being setup!  But, I’d spring that trap and get some new sticks regardless!!

[Shankster]

Haha.  I’ve been leading you all on.  She’s letting me get new sticks as a promotion gift… still wonder what she wants though, hahaha.

Get the sticks - because either way she will get what she wants. BTW what's the promotion? 

[Shankster]

Hey YOU Guyyyyys!

[juspoole]

Very excited for the next few days.  Going to Kiawah Island resort to stay a few nights and play 4 rounds of golf (2 at the Ocean Course, Osprey Point and Cougar Point).  Have not had any chance to play or practice in the past month so I'm pretty nervous about my game.  The weather should be great from what I've seen.  Well will see how I do.

[Shankster]

Got my Bertha Mini 1.5 back… man I didn’t realize how much I missed that thing.  Straight rockets.

My putter rack is finally full!

Got a FT call from one of our Gdaughters graduating from HS this year to tell us she’s selected Providence College!!!   
Her older sister is finishing up her sophomore year at NOVA.  
Big East rivalry coming up.!!!

Still waiting for 3rd Gdaughter on where she’s going next year!!  Probably Bryant or Marist.
