read some of the stories here by the regulars. some of them started out real small, and have HUGE rolls now. some did it so quickly you wont believe it. things like $50 into $4000 in 18 mos.

you are starting with a good amount of money...resist the temptation to play "over your roll." i'm sure you know that.

as for golf. i used to play everyday until i was 14. played through high school and college on teams. turned pro after college..noncompetitive...only teaching, and left the industry to start my own business...lawn services. i guess i have to be around grass...lol.

i have logged thousands of holes...have been within a fraction of a stroke of "scratch"...but have NEVER HIT A FRIGGIN HOLE-IN-ONE! all my friends have, but not me. i got close twice. i'll pm you with the stories. but never hit one.

when i do, i will prolly not jump up and down at all. i will prolly say, "finally," with sigh of relief and move on like any other day...but with a huge weight off my shoulders...lol.
