Hello from the Old Man

**Old Man** · 08-31-2007 08:32 AM

Just joined a few days ago and find this site interesting,helpfull and at times brings me a smile .I am from the Ottawa Valley area (Ontario ) and just golf for the fun of it but have been known to play that last hole for the bubbly pop.
To the originators of this site thanks .(maybe add spell check for me. LOL )

Welcome Old Man. We have a few of you on the site.

On the spell check front, if you use Firefox 2.0 as your browser it has real-time spell checking built in!

A certain short moderator who shall remain nameless should also switch to Firefox 2.0 BTW.

Hey Old man and welcome!
Would your initials happen to be JH?

**Indio** · 08-31-2007 10:46 AM

Hey! Welcome to the site Old Man.... you have indeed found a wonderful place to pickup knowledge and an occasional smile!

As for the spell checker, why worry about it.... if they can't understand they will ask you to repeat it (I get asked often!)

**Old Man** · 08-31-2007 10:51 AM

Thanks for the welcome .Initials are S.L

Hey I am just like you, I play the game for fun too! Sometimes my shots are really funny

Indio, you can now stop calling us retired guys, (BIG MAC & MYSELF) OLD MEN now. We now have an offical OLD MAN on board!

Welcome Aboard the Board!!!

We already have the requisite number of "Grumpy Old Man" (Indio, Big Mac and Golfbum) so I hope your disposition is a little better

GRUMPY? ME??? Far from it, I am retired and living the dream.
What have I got to be grumpy about? OK, my golf game is up and down like a Yo Yo, but that still beats working!

Three days of work at the golf course and 4-5 rounds of golf per week.
Man it doesn't get any better than this

Big Mac is not grumpy, he is also living the dream!

**big mac** · 08-31-2007 10:31 PM

Who said we were grumpy---I'll bet we have more smiles--we practice harder

Welcome aboard - and if you want to help keep the young'ns in line--just barge in

On most days Indio is grumpy enough for the 3 of you............so you two are grumpy by association

**slpca** · 09-06-2007 08:10 PM

Hi and welcome Old Man. There are also some Old Ladies here (and I don't just mean the guys who "act" like old ladies either - LOL). I have been known to actually HOPE I make it to the last hole

So you have met Hacker I see?

**little brit** · 09-07-2007 12:21 AM

I think you all have scared him off

**The Saint** · 09-07-2007 08:46 AM

The Old Man is from the "Frew" from what I know...(spidy senses). Best course in the valley!

**Old Man** · 09-07-2007 09:20 AM

Saint .You have it and your comments are corect on the area.

**big mac** · 09-07-2007 11:28 AM

Good God--if he is from the valley--he must be a good guy

All good people come from the valley

--the farther up--the better!

**Big Johnny69** · 09-09-2007 12:27 AM

**Old Man** · 09-09-2007 09:58 AM

Thaks and by the way the Old Man is a name my teo sons friends gave me years ago.They were calling me Mr ..... which bugged me and then one day one of them called me the Old Man and it stuck.I am actually in the mid to late fifties range.Mind is still young but on frosty mornings the body complains.
