That's a huge milestone @Shankster! It's been an absolute honor to read a number of quality posts you've put on the forum. Heck, I've even learned a new shot from you, that when I can pull off, is amazing. It's that open faced, low launching spinny wedge shot you posted about some time ago. It has brought many a smiles to my face watching the ball just check up. 

Here's to many more posts!

The heat has really slowed me down.  It took me 2:11 today for 17.  I skipped one hole because some slow players wouldn’t let me play through.  
 

I should probably quit calling them slow.  They are averaging 4 hours per round, I’m just lighting fast and probably annoying.  
 

But I can’t do that, I’d give up the game before I sat there for 4 hours… unless of course it was with a group of people that I enjoyed hanging out with.

Congrats Alan! For all the times I bust your chops about so many posts you’re a good sport about it. I’m at just under 6000 posts and I only joined a few months after you. We have both had a lot to say. Sometime I need to get down your way to get a round in with you and maybe another spy or two.

All good buddy.  Glad you stuck around.  Quite a few of us in that time frame has disappeared. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Congrats on that milestone Alan! As for only meeting one other golfer from MGS, we'll have to change that!  I'm not that far from you (heck, I was just fishing right across from PAX last weekend).

True story.  Need more food (good) people in the world.

I get a total of NO days off. Classes start Monday.  Bunch of house work todo over the weekend, last test tomorrow for one class.

Thanks Rob.  I just checked it out… all of the videos are gone.  Wonder what happened to those on YouTube, I can’t find them.

 

I was looking because my swing was probably the best ever then… looking for some inspiration haha.  Shaping shots like Sergio back then.  
 

And the plate video, and hitting off the grill… haha.  😂🙃

Hi @Shankster the air is thin at the 15,000 plus elevation...   🤣

Congratulations!!

The air is saturated with a torrential downpour right now at the Shanks Haus…. Might be a tree or 7 down.  Instant Booms after the flash in the sky.  Pretty intense storm… as I’m writing this I feel like I’m yelling like they do in the movie Twister when they are hiding the the ditch…
 

thanks Kenny!
