BarenskiModeratorHave been in Jewellery trade…and same company…for 43 years after leaving school at age 15.
Became Manager in 1988 and when the boss retired in 2000 myself and another tradesman took it over becoming partners. We split the partnership up in 2011 and he graciously allowed me to keep this business name going. In 2015 I had what I consider some sort of breakdown and decided that I needed to do something else to save my sanity and that of my family. With my love of golf and how golf works, I took on a role at Elanora Country Club as Course Marshal and I can honestly say that it was a decision that has changed my life, for the better.
Now I’m there 4 days, still a casual but doing around 28-30 hours a week..still running the Jewellery manufacturing business from home, 2 days a week, so in reality I’ve turned my job into a hobby and my hobby into a job…and I love it!
and our industry is much better off because of it!
Thanks Madam, your help, helped!
Cheers

Did we ever confess the full story to the team about what was allegedly yours and my first ever meeting on the putting green at Palm Meadows of the very first Saturday of the very first Nationals?
Following a few weeks worth of sledging and offers of huge bets for a putt off?
and how the end bet was upwards of $200 after I kept on running my mouth off?
and how your first putt was the worst in the history of the world?
and how I had to try and make mine even worse without trying to make it look obvious?Good times….
You are one of the very good blokes JB and I am very thankful that you’re still hanging onto the skills of your new hobby
That was a classic…I couldn’t have had a worse putt if I tried!
Thanks Bumpa, some great friendships made through this great game.

BarenskiModeratorI’m fine with either dates.
Barenski: What do you think, should this be the first OOM comp of the year or are there others lined up?
Hey pyl, there will be other games during the year, last year was an exception as I was just too busy to get them organised.
We usually have 5 rounds a year…February/March April July September and the COC in late November.
However with the Nationals being in NSW this year it will more than likely be March, May/June, September (L4G Memorial) October (Nationals) and November.Despite Commishs’ No Capt No Play I’m happy for someone else to run it if I’m not available…I cannot do the 23/2 otherwise I’ll no longer be celebrating anniversaries.
1/3 15/3 22/3 29/3 are my March dates (daughter getting married on 7th hence why no 8/3 in there).
So off you go with preferred dates.
Thanks!
Looks like 1/3 might be the best then since Commish has commited to coming down for that! 😉
Bookings for 1/3 opens in two days. I might be able to block a few tee times before then if we go for that date.
How many players do you think we might get? Would two tee times be enough? Do we put this up on ISG as well to try and get more people across to the new forum?
Edit: I’m fine with you captaining it. I have no wish to get into that quagmire if I don’t have to! 🙂

BarenskiModeratorI use a tablet computer for most of my browsing while watching (or ignoring) TV.
Starting with a fully charged battery, I get little more than one hour on this site before the battery is just about discharged. That rate is worse than watching streaming video.
On the old ISG site, I could browse for many hours with only a small amount of discharge. I can watch Youtube videos for hours and maybe take a 30% hit on battery storage.But on this site the battery takes a dive. Maybe it’s the volume of adverts. Maybe it’s the fact that I have to scroll through many pages just to get to the unread stuff.
Do others have a similar experience with battery discharge rates ?
Some of the posts on good old ISG caused me a small amount of discharge as well, very satisfying, so you should be in heaven with larger discharges here.

BarenskiModeratorHow about Sunday 1st March…gives us a bit more time to organise.
Need to also work out what format we will be using..an OOM type where all points added for the year and you drop your worst score so 4 out of the 5 (or 3 out of 4) count?STILL FUCKING CAPTAIN

BarenskiModeratorHow about a game in the Illawarra this year? Wollongong is in surprisingly good nick at the moment considering that we have had f*ck all rain for pretty much for ever now.
All of you inland NSW:ers could use a round at the Gong to learn how to play in the wind! 😉
Happy to put it on the calendar..what course and what time of the year?
Keep in mind we usually have rounds in Feb/March May/June Sept October this at Nationals and late November.
