Tired of the negativity so.......a shout out for a great WRX'er

[kekoa]

... +7???

Hey sblack, what swing pattern, if any, are you a proponent of?

Btw, great story.

[Jonesey07]

Steven, if you come towards Nashville maybe I can teach you a few things about golf.

I can drive a cart like no one's business (only flipped one!)

I'm a WRX Pro at taking off my club covers

I have lots of practice writing down big numbers and adding them up

So let's do this!!!

[sblack5]

I live in Nashville partner

[Jonesey07]

Even better. We will have to tee it up sometime then.

[MikeG]

Good on the OP and Steven. Very positive stuff.

[lumberman2462]

You sound like a good guy. Thanks for making a positive contribution to this game and this board.

+5 trending to +7???? I don't want to meet up with you in a money game....

Where in Nashville do you play?

[justasgood]

I play to a 6.5 and usually play Montgomery Bell.

I have a good friend that I play with(scratch to a 1 hdcp) so we could have a very solid foursome.

Probably gonna try to get out tomorrow afternoon.

What a good read. Thanks op

I've not played at MB before, but I've teed it up at Greystone quite a few times. I am normally in the mid 80's.

[justasgood]

Love Greystone as well.

A place I've always wanted to play but never been afforded the opportunity. I did get to play the Governor's Club earlier this summer, which was a tremendous experience.

c'mon Steven, organize an outing.....:-)

[sblack5]

will see what I can do.

wow.....ummmm....well thanks. it was very nice to meet the op and his 11 year old charlie. I'm glad that you thought so highly of my swing, curt, but I'm more glad that spending some time gave charlie some enthusiasm for the game. I like the saying "you get what you give" and generally try to go by that. my swing and game are pretty much where I want them for now and it was fun showing you and charlie some things and watching the lightbulbs go off. I am fortunate in that I get to play and work on it everyday so I dont mind when someone asks for my attention....I can always go back to hitting more balls when I'm done...lol. when we play soon we will do some more for sure. let him go as hard as he wants but make sure he knows that his golf score has no bearing on how much he means to you.......as guys I think we can all admit that (especially when we are young)
from time to time this game bums us out and we lose perspective that there are bigger things in the world than putting a miserable piece of plastic into a Hole in the ground.

I'm EXTREMELY flattered to say the least about all of the nice comments from the posters here, and it is especially nice to know that I've been helpful. I do like talking golf and helping folks if I can and am available for discussion with whomever seeks me out. as for being pro......I'm REALLY considering making the jump. at latest I probably will by years end. I want to play in the knoxville news sentinel open as an am if I can get in (web.com), and I've also got my eyes on the TN mid am and the us mid am as my last am events. I'm a +5.4 trending toward +7 right now so I'm getting closer.

I taught dancing for quite a few years and if I'm showing anyone anything or talking about anything I always try to figure out what version of English THEY speak. I feel that if I can genuinely help someone improve and not overwhelm them and they can have a breakthrough in their thinking then they didn't waste their time in seeking me out. its the teacher in me.

and fwiw...my name is Steven, fellas

Steven...I've been a member here for over 6 years, and I'm embarrassed to say when just as good mentioned your name, I could not have recalled seeing it.

Then after reading this incredible post, I'm sorry our posts/hadn't crossed paths before. What a sincere and genuine approach to helping others you have.

This forum is lucky to have members like you.

Good luck in your quest. I know everyone here will be rooting for you, do keep us posted. I'll try and be on the lookout more often

[sblack5]

thanks man!!! I appreciate that.....I generally dwell in the instructional forum

yeah, that's what it sounded like from a few of the posts. I'll have to check that area out sometime.

Well it is a small world. I joined Legends the week it opened and was a member until 02. Moved out of state but rejoined as a National Member last year. Never make it down there but will be looking around the range trying to figure out who you are....playing mostly out of Olde Stone in B.G. - let me know if you're ever up in that way.

[sblack5]

will do!!! sounds like fun

[Jonesey07]

I'll have to venture over to the instructional fourm. I know my game could use it and from what I read there's some great advice over there.
