My diabetes was seriously out of control- had to get healthy. Didn't want to lose a limb. Golf was on the back burner for a while- i couldn't swing well and that was depressing. Yeah I know more info then needed but I don't think many even remember who I am, looking at the new names attached to the posts since Oct 07.

Welcome back, Mike!

What's with this 'no remember' nonsense? You've been an important part of LBG since the beginning. [Actually, as I think about it, in the earliest days before the beginning!] And anyone who has been on the site any time at all (or newbies who have prowled the Archives) knows it.

I appreciate more than you know your support for this site and the work we do. That support has taken many forms, from your own passionate study of TGM (including your 1,361 posts chronicling that journey) to your photos at our Academy at Pine Needles 2004 (from which you extracted and produced my personal 'Flying Wedges' avatar) and the video work at Woodmont 2005 and the Barclays 2007.

We've been in touch by phone over the past couple of months and as recently as last week. I'm delighted to see you back to the keyboard. Keep those posts coming!

Remember . . .

Busy fingers are happy fingers!
