Popular Post Grand Stranded Posted May 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2020 Hi guys, I got a PM this morning from one of the nicest guys, on a board full of them. Big Stu, my fellow Grand Strander here in the Myrtle Beach area, had a little mishap. He had just begun easing into retirement, only working a few hours two days a week and joined a golf club down here and playing a ton of golf. As luck (bad luck actually) would have it, he took a fall from a ladder and broke his vertebrae and scapula. He was hospitalized a few days and will be laid up about two months or so recovering. I didn't run the idea of this thread by him, and I hope he doesn't mind me doing it, but I think it would be pretty cool if we used this thread to "tag" him, say hi, and tell him we're thinking about him and hope he's back out on the course again soon smoking his MacGregor two iron.

Popular Post BIG STU Posted May 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2020 Thanks man I never expected my own thread. Man I feel honored. Yep I was just easing into retirement playing gobs of golf and really getting into shape then wham!!!! Yep I had found me an old school course with good folks and funny thing about it is the fact it played well for me whether vintage or more modern equipment. Most of all I guess i was enjoying the ambiance and good folks. Have my own corner of the patio where I sit and smoke my cigar and drink my coffee watching the sun come up over the 9th and 10th holes. It has always been dubbed Stu's corner. Lately during the virus thing I have not been allowed to do that but staff told me to get a cart and sit where I wanted to on the course. I am not allowed to drive anything because of the meds I am on but my wife is going to take me over in the morning because I can sit in my corner again. And seriously at 63 years old I finally got some gray hair and the sense to go along with it and realize this time I can not push it like I used to. So I am exercising caution which is a new thing for me. But thanks again MGS is part of what keeps me going Brian A, cnosil, GolfSpy MPR and 24 others 24 3 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.
