How'd You Pick Your Screen Name?

[STUDque]

.......And it was never the “Galloping Gobblers”.

Isn't the Galloping Gobbler that atrocious Thanksgiving Day player of the game trophy that Fox gives out?

Hang-10 Bra! My uncle, an original long-boarder from the 50's taught me to surf way back when. My home beach was Tourmaline Bay on the North end of PB. He even taught me to sail on his old, old Hobie cat (sail # 300 & something I think) and we surfed Tourmaline with it too. Good times Bra!

Nice!!!

 

Spent some time near La Jolla, in Cardiff and Del Mar .. beautiful area and lots of beautiful waves!

[EthanSterlingPrice]

Mine is my full name. Depending on the situation I was either called by my first name Ethan a name my maternal great grandmother liked or my middle name Sterling after my paternal great grandfather. Complicated ain't it?

Name is an old dog of mine when I was Younger.

[00sportsman]

Sorry for the bump (maybe) but I find these short stories really interesting. I was thinking about starting a thread, but was smart enough to look for an old one.

 

Mine is the number 00 and the division, Sportsman, that I ran last when I was racing stock cars

 

 

It did occur to me that it works well for MGS as well. Think 007, the ultimate spy.

My name comes from signing up on EA forums many years ago and I couldn't come up with a name and I was listening to a band named Gravitykills when I was signing up and figured ok Gravitykiller but they had a limit on characters so I dropped the E and it became Gravitykillr and it's just stuck since. I use it on a few forums and on Xbox Live (add me if you'd like).

[RickyBobby_PR]

Group I play with gave me the Ricky part playing on my previous obsession with puma styling and one of the guys threw the Bobby part in for some odd reason. The PR is for Puerto Rico

There's a Will Ferrell movie about Nascar racing, coincidentally, named Talladega Nights. The main character is Ricky Bobby. I figured your username came from that.

God, did that really come out in '96?

LOL. There's a tattoo place here in town with the same name. We all know what that stands for here in Richmond, VA.

It's an acronym

Hopefully you were a young middle-schooler listening to that song. I was three years out of college when it came out.

[pulledabill]

My name is Bill....ex girlfriend used to golf with me and when she would leave a putt short she would say "pulled a Bill" since I have a tendency to leave putt shorts. Good reminder for me to get it up and in.

Lol you have a few years on me but no I wasn't in middle school. I was in high school though.

[paperclip]

For me, I was stuck on picking a name for forums, so I saw a paperclip on my desk, entered it into the site and seemed that nobody else had it.  So I now use paperclip on most of the forums I post to.

I'm 99% sure the guy who added Bobby to the Ricky did it for that reason but he's one of the guys I don't pay much attention to and just ignore most of the time...also I'm not the only one in the big group who treats him that way.

[Jim418]

Jim418 = Jim for 18 (holes)

[No3PuttLaLa]

Not many people could pronounce my last name when I played College football so they shortened it and called me LaLa. 

 

And I dread the 3 Putt but I also read that you need to approach each hole and situation on a course with confidence so I am telling myself long before I ever putt that there are No 3 Putts!

 

(As for the picture, I am big fan of cigars and especially love to indulge on the course. So who better to pick as my image than Mr Jimenez himself?!)

[Berg Ryman]

So, mine comes from the world of Pro Wrestling. There was a wrestler in the 90's called Mantaur. He came to the ring with a buffalo head, cut his hair like ram horns, and moo'd. It was so dumb. But I took Taur, threw the first part of my last name in front of it and boom.

 

I am debating on a change to my social handles Berg Ryman, a name transposition from college when picking radio names. Not as my partners Mitch Jamels and Lamdrew Ambe

Bumping for Fix Your Divot and many other members that joined throughout the year.

edit: Before becoming a MOD  my username was CarolinaGolfer2, explained in the first post.   

When I became a moderator and had to have GolfSpy as the prefix, I was torn between the two.   I obviously went with my actual name, but have always missed the CG2 acronym. 

So if you see a GolfSpy_CG2 in the near future, that's why, not a new moderator!

 

[GB13]

Not too much mystery with mine:

GB- my initials

13- my birthdate

I am not exactly a creative person so I just picked the first thing that came to mind. I guess, it serves its purpose. 

[Angry Yeti]

I'm not a small person, and in college I let both my hair and beard grow pretty long. One weekend during winter break I was caretaker up at a cabin, keeping it open for any students that wanted to spend a few nights in a remote area of northern New England.

While carrying a stack of wood back to the house one night during a snowstorm I slipped and landed rather ungracefully in fresh, fluffy snow.

The people inside only heard me cursing up a storm before popping back up in front of a a set of glass french doors completely covered in snow. Large, long haired, bearded man covered in snow cursing to himself in the woods... That was well over a decade ago and my friends from college still use it.

Sometimes simple is the best and looks and sounds just fine!

Mine is self explanatory and a nice little reminder to us all to be kind to the course and your fellow golfers by fixing-yur-divots.

That's a great story!

[NiftyNiblick]

Simple alliteration in my case, plus I had just made a stretch of nice, green side shots when I chose it.

I've got it printed on my golf balls.

I don't like the looks of sloppy Sharpie dots and lines!
