My Alienware X51 from Costco just arrived today. It has a 3.4 GHz Core i7-3770 processor, a GeForce GTX 555 video card, 8 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. Sweet!

5,000 ... but not GhD
 
Just surpassed 5,000 Golf Balls in my personal collection....
:banana:
even taking into account the high rate at which I lose them when I play :smile:

4 summers ago we bought a cabin next to a golf course ... sometimes I feel the need for a little "soul" searching :wink: on a nice evening.

I realize that you may have some joy from this hobby, but you realize that people pay a lot of money for used golf balls right? I used to know a guy who went on "nature walks" with his kids growing up in the woods of the Golf Course on which he lived and he cleared about $700 a month selling those stupid things. (or so he once told me. He had turned down overtime one evening and said he'd make more money having a fun night with the kids than welding with me--I was hurt a little, no tears though.)
