Handle/Nickname

Just curious, where did each of you derive your Ottawagolf handle from? Ty Webb was Chevy Chase's character in Caddy Shack. Carl Spackler was too long although I more closely relate to hime.

It's a Phil Mickelson thing. My lob wedge is my favourite club. I love to play those big vertical flop shots, it's my "get out of jail free" card.

Sorry man couldn't help it, you opened the door.

4Jag s/b self-explanatory, it was either that or "WeakFade" or "ChiliDip" or simply "Skull". All part of my golf repertoire!

Hmm... I thought it was an indication that you leave your putts short all the time

Anyways, Krolik is the Russian for rabbit. How I got that one is a long story that even I don't remember

Krolik.

My wife's first name begins with "L", mine begins with "T", and my last name is GRAY. Mix it all up with a few Mexican spices, add a little Santana music in the background, and voila - EL TIGRE!

**NoBack** · 10-18-2003 04:20 PM

Mine came from my mom too. She gave it to me in march of 1961.

Before I became event coordinator here at OttawaGolf and started using my real name, I had "No Back" simply because I had a very bad lower back and couldnt stand up after I hit a ball. Good thing was that i would still take money form my buddies but would be in pain for 18 holes.

**natgolfer** · 10-18-2003 05:04 PM

As I use the Natural Golf single axis method of swinging... nat golfer.

**Rough Stuff** · 10-18-2003 08:29 PM

My middle name has no R in it. My brothers and parents have lots of o's, u's, g's and h's.

I like to shop for "stuff".

Thus Rough Stuff.

Big_duck · 10-18-2003 11:04 PM

I've been using Big Duck as an online handle since before the internet (BBS'S). I'm a large person whose first name is Donald thus Big Duck.

**faldo** · 10-19-2003 08:40 AM

Nick is my wife's other favorite golfer, after me I hope.

Also, he was the first to give me an "Auto'.

**LongHitta** · 10-20-2003 08:02 AM

**fireice** · 10-20-2003 04:01 PM

After a song by Ben Harper "Not Fire Not Ice". Although it could be my golf game sometimes.

**Andy4Par** · 10-20-2003 06:14 PM

**em69** · 10-20-2003 10:35 PM

If I give the secret away I'd had to kill ya'.

**spidey** · 10-21-2003 12:58 PM

spidey... Cartoons. My dad was an artist, and I draw as a hobby.

**treewood** · 10-27-2003 10:44 AM

Let's see now,hmmm why Treewood :freak5 ? Oh Yes, Probably because this season I had a tendacy of taking the scenic route from tee to green, thus had to carry this special club in my bag. This year was a

love/hate :reallymad relationship between my clubs and me!

My initials are jag, when I thought that having 4jag around would give the wrong impression about my "balls orientation".

I got mine from a set of Golfsmith ProForged blades that I was in love with briefly from about mid January to early February 2003. I joined OttawaGolf on Jan. 25, 03, although I had previously been a member when the forum was under a different format.
I never actually hit those clubs and sold them to Big Easy a couple of months after joining. Since then I've been thru at least a dozen iron sets, most recently in love with a set of Tommy Armour Silver Scot 986 Tour Blades. I'd change my handle but A) I don't want to confuse anyone and B) I don't know how. So I guess I am stuck with it.

**mr shank** · 11-05-2003 11:46 AM

My name is pretty self-explanatory. Hopefully one day it will be changed to Mr. Highsoftdrawthatstopsonadime
