Old FGI Memories Thread
- Edited
MidwayJ Is Dyno (Percy) still around? I know he was here on Golfbuzz for awhile but I haven't seen him post anything in a long time. He was a lot of fun back in the FGI days. He once messaged me asking to come to his defense on GEA after he riled somebody up there.
I think Dyno was the first to apply the term "poon" to golf equipment. I think his last sighting was on the music thread a few years back.
Doesn't anyone miss this type of thing...
darpar I played a round of golf one time with puttnfool. He gamed one of LogicalOne's original putters. In person he wasn't so bad. Pretty solid player. Followed the rules strictly and never took a mulligan. Was very, very focused on his round of golf. I could have been Prince Harry and he probably wouldn't have noticed, lol.
Anybody hear from CP Fitness lately?
And who was the big workout dude from nyc.... something ....fitness....would get pissed and post pics oh the muscles muscle
That guy had a HUGE ego. Piece of work!
I didn't interact much on FGI as I primarily joined as a component greenhorn trying to absorb knowledge on selecting and assembling components. I did enjoy tangling with ASKE and someone whose username I can't remember in religious discussions on the P&R page. I was also very much in with the forged side in those days.
The biggest thing I miss is the Paws and Balls tournament. It seemed like it always got a great FGI turnout and it was 3-5 days of great golf and golf courses. I met many of you there, including Phileo who I actually still talk to everyday and play with at least twice a month.
The other one had to be Phileo... or whatever his name was before that. He used to post here as 4GSwag but hasn't been around for a bit.
I remember years back my family was headed to Scottsdale for a week to visit my inlaws. I think Ramers had an office in Old Town so I messaged him to see if he wanted to grab a beer. He says we can do better than that and lines up a round of golf...maybe with some of the old AZ mafia? My wife said "fine" initially but then realizes I'll be golfing with "random guys from some golf forum" (her words) and shuts me down. Wife: "you can golf once with my dad and that's it". Yes Typhoons' wife and mine are somehow not too distantly related at least in personality
