[Shivas Irons]

I'm pretty unoriginal as well. Steve Packler.

Come on Steve, you can do better. Why don't you use the name of a greenskeeper from a golf movie, or something a little more creative?

Shivas Irons is the name of the caddy from the book Golf In The Kingdom. Not very original but still better than Steve's.

[Hacker]

I go to Indio (Plam Springs/Palm Desert/LaQuinta/Indian Wells) in the California desert most winters for 6 weeks of golf and relaxation while living with and mouching off, my brother who lives there...

So the fact that Indio is so close to Idiot is just a coincidence??

[dhacker1956]

Well the 1956 should be obvious. I am one OLD Fart!!!
the dhacker part goes back to my senior year of high school. There was rule on our golf team that unless a Senior classman was able to qualify in one of the top three spots on the team he was cut until he could reach the proper numbers. Well numbers 1-4 were all Freshmen. Then there was me. But the coach was kinda in a bind. My average was at least 5 shots better than the next underclassman. So he installed me at the number "5" man.
The other guys on the team, as I said ALL freshman, started calling me "the Hacker".
Well I live near Chicago and in Chicago accent "the" comes out "da". So I was nicknamed "da Hacker". When computers came into vogue I used that as my handle(so I could remember my name). I just dropped the "a" and became dhacker1956 or dhacker56. Sorry for the book but you asked!!

[Fallys0820]

Fallys0820:

Fallowfield is my last name, so since high school I've been Fally (to shorten it). Scott is the first name, hence the "s" and August 20 is my birthday.

There you have it!

Fally
aka Scott

After tracking my stats for a few years, and realizing that my Fairways hit would rank me in the top 5 on the PGA Tour - over 80% - I noticed someone who was in the top 5 every year - Freddie Funk. (BTW, don't ask me about GIR - that is another story).
