whats in your name??

[cosworth]

ok so whats in your bag has been done so whats in your name?
by that i mean whats the reason for your username if youd like to share it..

some are straight forward but others are not.
ok il start then.
simple as you can see, i grew up loving the ford cosworth and dreamt of having one as a teenager and was lucky enough(i feel) to have one a few years back.
im 31 now and of course im far too sensible for such things now with a wife and kid.
im so sensible in fact that ive started golf and drink wine(ok im having a bit now)which explains this bizzare post but hey see how it goes.

Easy.........I celebrated returing to real golf by buying tiger woods 06 for my PC.
I logged onto the forum for that game and wanted everyone to know I was a real golfer (not a spotty teenager with a dodgy graphics card!)

I'd never have guessed.....(!).....could do with a cossie block in my Puma!!!

My grandad always to call me Andra and when I was going thru my rebelious era my mates used to rib me about it until I sparkled one of them. So instead of being Andra, they called me Mad andra.

 

[GB72]

Quite simple for me, my initials are GB and i was born in 1972 hence GB72

 

[cosworth]

george bush maybe??

 

[holein1]

I got a holein1 in the medal and i became a member the same day and choose holein1.

 

[Up_Point_1]

Fairly self explanatory I think

 

[GB72]

Hopefully I am not as unpopular as George Bush and I suspect he was born a bit before 1972. I am just plain old Greg Begy, nothing more interesting than that.

 

[Atticus_Finch]

For those of you who don't already know, Atticus Finch is a character in the book "To Kill A Mockingbird".
He is brutally honest, highly moral, a tireless crusader for good causes (even hopeless ones), a virtual pacifist and, for the most part, devoid of any of the racial or class prejudices afflicting the other citizens.(stolen from Wikipedia)

He represents the moral ideal of a human being and one that we should all aspire to be.

It is, without doubt, the greatest book I have ever read. (several times)

 

[shanker]

Agreed. A wonderful novel by JD Salinger.

I think you may be thinking of "The Catcher In The Rye"
Harper Lee wrote TKAM

You're right. Both great reads, though.

 

[rgs]

Total lack of imagination when i chose my name-Mine is just the initials of the golf society i am a member of.

 

[tpred]

i bought some t made tp red balls,used them & liked them a lot so hence the name.The thing is though old habits die hard and im now back playing with my trusty pro v1.So am now stuck with a few boxes lol

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Not sure how Homer came about but I seem to remember missing a tiny putt one day and inadvertantly going "DOH" which tickled my companions.

They must have mentioned it to everyone down the pub because the next time I went in everyone just started calling me Homer and it has stuck. In fact the pub darts team has been playing for nearly a year and one of them actually asked me what my real name was yesterday - he had only ever known me as Homer.

Oh well - off to Moes

Happy golfing

Homer
