Trying to make my lawn look like Augusta
When not on the course or at work, I'm either mountain biking, working on cars or competing as a co driver in a rally...
These days, I play or practice nearly every day, so there really isn't any time dedicated to other interests. I have liked golf since I was a kid, and played it on and off throughout my life, but never seriously until about 15 years ago when I gave up the one passion that overtook my entire adult life, which began as a teenager. Sailing.
I started small, but eventually skippered ocean racing yachts with many trips to or from Bermuda and the Caribbean. I was a USCG-licensed charter skipper in the Virgin Islands for a few years, and delivered (other people's) yachts between New England ports and the Caribbean as well. I won the 650-mile 1999 Bermuda Race from Buzzards Bay to St. David's Light in Bermuda aboard my own 47' sailing yacht, DAKOTA. (Google 1999 Bermuda Race Winner, Dakota for more info.)
In 2003, when I finally decided it was no longer affordable and time to do something else after 3 decades of nearly 24/7/365 sailing, I sold Dakota and changed gears. I took up golf for fun, but eventually, needed to replace to huge void I had leaving the sailing world, so committed to playing the game seriously in 2004. Over those 15 years I have played an average of about 130 rounds a year. For the past 4 or 5 years, it has been closer to 200 rounds a year. When I don't play, I practice. It is typically a 6-7 day golf week for me. So, there is just no time to focus on much else.
