  Hi my name is Mogridder and my Country Club has a big problem, the founder of the club and only officer has had brain surgery and hasn't been heard of for 4 months. In the mean time we can't recruit new players or do anything that requires an officers approval. Is there anyway WGT can promote a temporary officer if not I think are club will disband.  Any help out there from anyone PLEASE.

  Ah yes...craigswan

  Craig Darling,

  My, my. The honor of being the hero or focus of this fine thread is what you could hardly have aspired to, either from your talents or from your good qualities. The partiality of your few friends has never given you credit for more than mediocrity in the former, and experience has proved that you are indebted for all your consequence here to the reverse of the latter.  ~ SP ~

  Cool story about Mr Tincher. Did you stay in touch with him when you got older?

  It appears this thread has hit the skids. To Be Honest, I am still here, but I am not here. Reading the forums I see the game has gone South. I guess I will go North. I really do miss some folks on here. We used to have a hoot.

  Mr Tincher.

  I lost touch with him when I moved away when I was 19 . It was many years later that I learned he was the course pro .  I had no idea that for years I was getting free lessons . plus I got to play on that course for free .  

  When I went into Jr High he told me to join the Golf club at school , I was the only one to play in Jr High .  We played at a local public course . Mr Tincher took me there with my dad one day , ( My Dad was a Scottsman that played in the old country ) . Mr Tincher showed me how to play each hole , He called it " Course Management " .  So when I started playin in the school club I had to play with the High school guys . At first the Big boys didnt like havin a " Kid " with them and when I was matching them or posting better scores they hated me . But after a bit some of them would ask me for help  . The next year I was just one of the guys . 

  To this day  ( 45 +/- years later ) when I play I can still hear his voice in my head telling me how to make a shot or play smart .

  I also remember my Dad telling me

  " You do not need the best golf clubs to be a winner " .

  That is one of the best tips you can get now days when we have a variety of clubs. You just need a set of clubs that fit your game, it doesnt matter if they are 10 years old. In the end it is just a set of clubs. what counts on the field is how you play and your concentration to play. Thats why you practice every day ( you can ) to be the best in this sport or to just enjoy it.

  Well, lets attempt to revive it!  OmniV here the name is shortened from the latin phrase Omnia Vicente Amor ( Love conquers all ) I am 54, love this stupid crazy game although I do go missing during hunting season. I am retired, sold 2 Audiology practices and moved back home to Alabama. I am a vet 75th Ranger reg spec ops ( prior to their home becoming Benning ) I am married to a beautiful and the most intelligent woman I know, she also played until her account was banned because I was unaware that me getting on to complete her daily bonus was wrong..... my bad her toon is sweetthing26 hopefully they will allow her back. I have a total of 5 children 2 grand kids. Diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes in 07, been very challenging but got my insulin pump this year. I love hunting, fishing and golf real life and online. 

  My 1st car was a 74 Z-28 camaro which I built the motor and created a death trap but only lost 2 street races out of over 100. Sold it the day after I had a right front blow out after slowing down to about 20 mph from 175. The big man upstairs didn't have to tell me twice. I know drive a new ford F150 lariat super-crew 4x4 and love it. Well running out of things to tell if you want to learn more hit me up for a game.... I am use to getting roughed up on the course lol. God bless and take care all.
