CBS Roll Call

[tpaulus_2]

CBS name was MikeD5405. I changed it to my current name because I am never wrong, unless it has to do with my wife, then I am never right.

Welcome to the club.

And how, exactly, does one play golden tee professionally? Professionally implies you make $$ at it, which sounds right up my alley...

I am glad to see so many from the Lions boards at CBS coming over. From what I can see our group has came the deepest so far! I miss a few things about the CBS site but on a whole this is a better set up!

I have kept the same handle as I did on CBS, for me their is something about tradition and keeping the same Avatar...at least for awhile.

I am in North Oakland County between Holly / Clarkston / Grand Blanc. Wished I would have moved south years ago I hate the winters with a passion. And getting older only makes it worse! May take a transfer to DC but again selling a house is a blood sport still.

I work for the Federal Gov. so pay your taxes I have a couple cars, a cottage, a wife and a girlfriend to support. lol

 

[BigTankDaddy]

I can't top that last story.

I was Bondzai on CBS. That about sums it up.

 

[Cleaves2000]

You gotta admit.....lions fans are sure represented on these boards...and cbs still sucks!

 

[lionstop1]

So ummmm, yeah I'm lionstop1 from the cbs boards (the best non professional sports analyst). I'm from Florida but raised in South Bend IN. Could've been one of the greatest plajers (players) alive if I never would've decided to marry the girl I'm with now. I'm a 33 year old college student in the design field. I work for a company called Crown International.

My hobbies are designing, music, eating and writing. I am "the" number 1 Lions fan and four years ago I predicted the Lions would take Stafford, Delmas AND Pettigrew.

 

[lionstop1]

I'm a chinese hippy too!

 

[lionstop1]

And I would've been better than Revis if I had continued to play ball in highschool.

 

[Valion78]

Valion78 same as on CBS.
Im From a small town in eastern Virginia. I am 34,married, and have two kids. I am a union plumber with 16 years under my belt. I have loved the Lions for over 20 years and have been on suicide watch for about 15 of those years. LOL. I read the site daily but don't post much.

 

[Cleaves2000]

I think every lion fan of at least 15 yrs is on some kind of suicidal watch.

 

[TBBishop]

TBBishop was tampabaybishop. I think that's enough excitement for the day!!

Golden Tee is now called Golden Tee Live, as you can play tournaments for money 24 hours a day in real time against players from around the world. The run continuously, once 50 people have entered a tourney, then a new one starts. You make money based on what spot you finish in the tourney.

I make, on average, anywhere from 25-45 dollars an hour playing, as I can play in about 7 tournies an hour. I also own a bunch of golden tee machines and have placed them around the other players in metro detroit who play for a living and charge them discounted pricing, so they play all their games on my machines. I make $1.65 off every game I play and anyone else plays, as the machine owner.

It is actually quite a racket I have going. My wife hates it because I have no set hours and I can pretty much do whatever I want all day long. Now that the baby is coming though -- it is going to work perfectly for us, as I can take care of the baby, or take the baby with me.

 

[tpaulus_2]

There seems to be a few missing and some trouble keeping track of who was who from CBS. So I thought it would be helpful to post a Roll Call.

Please dont continue conversations right away on this. I would like to get one post from each of us first. That will make it easier for people to return here and look someone up if they dont remember.

List what info you are comfortable sharing....

--------

CBS name - GrailKnight (Avatar had a Lions standing over a dead bear)

Im in the Automotive Engineering field and THAT is not as good as it sounds!

I run Michigan Spiders. You should check it out and watch the drugs and spiders video as well as my Beyond Spider Dome video.

I write Fantasy fiction novels under the same name I am using here, K.J.Ester. Self published two books of a trilogy and so far the only reviews I have gotten have been good ones. The only flaw anyone has posted was some editing mistakes. Going through the first book right now. There were more than a few but almost done fixing it up.

Lions had a decent draft. Still dont like Mayhew or the coaches. They can win me over if they get away from the single back set this year.

Grail,

I'm an English major and my wife has her masters in English, and we're both fantasy fans. If you want any further editing input I'd be happy to read your novels and give you some feedback...

 

[lionscanWIN]

same as on cbs good ole LCW

got started in fantasy football and have engulfed myself in every form of analysis and sport except the nba then except when the pistons dont suck.

 

[Cleaves2000]

Damn mikeD, i want your job.

 

[geneh_33]

also, I know a 7' Chinese dude that looks like he's' black

Don't they have a rule about pics on this site? If you don't got no pic you don't know no 7' Chinese dude that looks like he's black.

Them's the rules.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

Damn mikeD, i want your job.

Just like with any job -- it gets monotonous. I still enjoy playing, but the fun of Golden Tee is kind of gone (if that makes sense). It isn't a game anymore -- it is a job.

If you play bad for a day -- you don't make alot of money. If you are sick or unable to go get your games in, you don't make any money. It definitely gives me alot of freedom, but at the same time -- you don't get alot of the luxuries a real job gives you (paid vacations, 401k, insurance, etc.).

I'm lucky enough that I make a really good living when you add in the money from my tourney winnings and all the machines I own, plus my wife does really well too and we get our insurance through her work.
