  Hello all!  I'm a huge golf nut, but am very limited with my time.  :(   I'm a father of four beautiful girls with one of them going to college, so my golf funds have been severely depleted.  Which is why I'm trying to get my "fix" by other means!  I also teach at an electrical apprenticeship program in the central valley which takes up a huge amount of my time.  I'm trying to get on and play a few more games before I hack away with some of you (hopefully).  I don't want to bog you down with a 2 hour round of golf! 

  Looking forward to getting to know some of you and trying not to step on any toes in the process. 

  Take care everyone,

  Joe

  Good find, PJ-this is extremely addicting, more so if you're a real golfer! Sure wouldn't want to be in your shoes with 4 daughters!!! I lucked out with 2 boys.

  Would "central valley" be in the middle of the SF Valley? Grew up there and played the courses all the way up the coast to Montalvo, in Ventura.

  I'm right in the middle of the San Joaquin valley.  Fresno to be more specific. 

  You are a lucky dog indeed YJ.  My girls are aged 20, 18, 15, and 6.  Yes you read that right, 6 yrs old!  My wife and I made one last ditched effort for a boy and wound up with another baby girl.  Absolute blessing and an absolute curse!  LOL

  I usually play during my lunch hour (12-1 PST), so if you're ever on during that time maybe we could hit a few balls.  I've read some of the other topics/posts and you seem like a genuinely great guy Jim.  I don't know how many "friends" you have on here or if there is even a limit, but I'd like to send you a friend request if that's cool with you.

  Take care

  By all means-I'm 3 hours ahead of you so I'll keep an eye out.
