Recent reminiscing by a few of us about the "Top Flite Tour OMG" thread and the unfortunate passing of Steve Almo got me thinking about the old FGI days. Let...

Tim /My Ostrich, was great to deal with.

Then he took his computer skills to work overseas in SE Asia, if I remember correctly.

Some excellent people and characters...........except Christian. Wow,is that a sad and disgusting revelation behind the guise of being a born again.

I got the bare hand batch once, from cliff barron at custom club shop.Ditched it for good.
Used Golfsmith glue for a long time until they left town.Went to Golfworks glue after that and nothing else.No issues and it's hard to mess up the mixing as well.

I used to get shafting epoxy from a local shop who got it from Golfsmith. He would get it in 5 gal. pails and resell it in the small bottles with his company on it. He told me that he placed an order for some glue from GS and they were out but got his order drop shipped from Hardman Corp.. He then started ordering direct from them. Good stuff.

That "shit" isn't in your newspaper. That shit's in some little girl or little boy's life every day! I'm aghast at how few know, or aware of the prevalence of sexual abuse and sex trafficking! I believe many folks just don't want to know, as if ignorance is bliss. I never expected this very pleasing thread, loaded with great memories, to drop such a "bomb". Yes, it's sickening. You can trust me on this one. I spent the last 15 years of my career as a certified trauma-therapist, specialized in working with teenaged girls who were victims of sexual abuse and trafficking. It's all around you and me - all around!

professor

Walterjn Can we let this guy out and let him do what he's done best??

NO! We can and should be more civilized. Biblical begets are cures as bad a causes. One doesn't end trauma by participating in it.
Over the years I've heard so much nonsense... So often, 'oh, they should have their genitals cut off!' Nope, wrong, you're not getting it. This sick bastards would then just substitute a broom handle. It's not just the 'sexual realm', it's about the power.

Par4QC I was going to ask if he was convicted. I looked it up but didn't find d anything. Should have gotten life.

LBlack14

I had no idea. Shocked.

Par4QC

professor That "shit" isn't in your newspaper.

Well, sorry to say but it is reported weekly in this area, via the newspaper. Almost as many as the meth busts.
Sometimes, one and the same column/same person!!

Meth will get ya 50, full.....the other only 24, 80%. 🤔

Walterjn

professor then can we publicly execute the child molesters, rapists, murders, those who commit treason. Say maybe public, televised hangings? Some people no longer have a fear of jail, or prison, and no fear of life there.

Rickochet

Can we get back on topic please? Old FGI memories.

professor

Rickochet Can we get back on topic please? Old FGI memories.

Yes, please and thank you! I will gladly go back and delete every one of my posts in this regard. But, as a bunch of mostly grandfather's, it's also good to know that we're not such a civilized society.

professor

Walterjn then can we publicly execute the child molesters, rapists,

Good by me! Just can't let them around the kids, Period!

professor

Par4QC Well, sorry to say but it is reported weekly in this area, via the newspaper.

Par4, I didn't intend to critique or challenge you. I was just looking to make a point - it's not a story, it's somebody's life. Yeah, life. I've done this therapy and yes, it works/helps some, to some extent. But that pit of victimhood is a tough one to escape. This topic is numero uno on by chart of hate. Too familiar to me. Apologies if necessary.

Par4QC

professor Apologies if necessary.

No need. I'm sure your ears were spewing smoke just reading all this. I'm not even in your field and it gets to me more than just about anything in the news.

Par4QC

How's about we just go on from here.

Yet it does seem inappropriate to say ....."it is not interesting"....but maybe that will get a rewind to the OP.

Back on topic:

I’ve golfed with FGIers all over Canada and the US. Here in Canada, I’ve golfed with FGIers from British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and of course here in Saskatchewan.

In the USA I’ve golfed with FGIers from Alaska, Minnesota, Dallas, Houston, Denver, New Jersey, New York, Atlanta and Arizona.

And in Europe I’ve golfed with FGIers in Ireland and Scotland.

Thank you FGI! ⛳

I have maintained a lifetime friendship after meeting up with Shamrock Slasher in Dublin. We spent a night out on the town (pub) while the missus, it was 2006, stayed back at the bed and breakfast. Well, let me tell you, Paul (his real name) is a rather thin but athletic man and he can put down pints. My gawd we closed down that pub. And it's true, Guinness is much better there than here!

MidwayJ

Supp That's pretty incredible that you played golf with FGIers from so many places!

Yes, Paul (Shamrock Slasher) is a solid guy. And so is Graham (Malahide). I haven't kept in touch with them since I was in Dublin, but the time I spent was well worthwhile.

Here's a shot of me, Shamrock Slasher and Malahide from our round there.
