See me, I know I'm in trouble. The FIRST thing Stacey said as we were leaving Colonial Downs on Saturday was "When can we come back."
I couldn't get on my knees and propose fast enough...lol

afew very nice offers on the board..sent to ,gander, ora...thats a great thing you have done...you will win many photos ...good karma...

Thanks to the offers from everyone. I know they are heart felt and if I need to take anyone up on them, I will comfortable doing so. Also, thanks to everyones thoughts and prayers. Needless to say, I have experienced a wide variety of emotions this morning.

I have been in the golf business for 17 years in the southeastern VA/northeastern NC area. I feel confident that I have forged a solid reputation in my line of work. I will dearly miss living at the beach, but things happen. Almost 1 year ago I was laying in the middle of a field for dead, but I survived that and this will be a piece of cake compared to that. GPK will bounce back.

Get your ass up here. Tim or I will pick you up at the airport, its no biggie. Screw it, you loved it here when you visited. No doubt a local course here would hire you, 3-4 month gig while you make new plans for the future. Then theres the track, lol, as an additional hook. Scram out of there.

That's good advice. Turn this into an opportunity to do something you really want to do!

Regardless of how you proceed, I'd be willing to bet significant bucks that 12 months from now you will be glad of the change.

Good luck to you!

That's a bad beat there brother. Sorry to hear it. Let me know if I can help. Sorry bro.

Sorry Kev, it's not a cool thing to go through. Everyone has already given out all the good advice you'll need. I'll just say keep your head up and eyes open and the opportunities will present themselves.

Kev, I am here for you no matter what happens. Keep your chin up... you will find something better in no time.

Don't worry, another job always comes along. Whatever you do, don't take an office job. Some pay great, but they are crap compared to working outside. If you are the guy with the bad back you should consider moving into the golf course maintenace jobs. My friend's father took care of a course in NY his entire life and he loved it and was doing it in his 70's. Don't know what they pay is, but it seemed like a great life.

Good luck Kev!

kev, rotten luck man, but you'll end up fine. maybe find a course here in va. also wanted to say it was a pleasure meeting you and stacie and the kids. let me know if there's anything i can do to help.

slotdirt · #12 06-19-2006, 10:52 AM

kev, I hope this means you'll be spending slightly more time up at Colonial during the meet? There is always an upside to everything, like seeing awesome turf racing more often.

I told him to move out to the Charlotte area... if he does, we could be roommates.

Kev: yesterday I knew a guy who had the greatest job in the world! Today--ZIPPO... Bummed for you...but you've been through tougher. Like DTS says, when 1 door closes another opens! If you can enjoy the summer with your friends....Do it the work will be there when you need it BEST Tim

I worked for a law firm in Charlotte and loved it there. There are about 20 golf courses there. The best one is Quail Hollow, but there are a ton of them. It used to be really cheap to live in Charlotte but it got more expensive in the last 2-3 yrs, but it is still cheap compared to most big cities. Great city if you like football and NASCAR. The lake is pretty nice too.

Thanks Deb....I'll rebound. Like I said earlier, I stared death in the face and kicked his ass last year, so this will be no problem.

I always dreamed of doing the Nicholas Cage "Leaving Las Vegas" thing, but in replace of all that alcohol, it would be gambling all day and night.

Oh ya, and no slutty hookers either. Thats just not my scene.

Just take all the money you could get your hands on and go on one crazy binge in Vegas.

You guys would be lying if you told me you dont think about this from time to time? Especially Scavs.
