Al - you’re a one of a kind KZbin golfer who every time I watch a video involving you puts a joyous grin on my face, to me, and I’m sure many will agree that you have more than paid us back in that way alone. You remind many who stumble in their golf hobby to laugh it off and onto the next hole. Please keep on going and I will certainly continue to be entertained by your work 👍

Al, having lost my father at the height of the "Miley Cirus" lockdowns and restrictions, he was in Aus and I'm in NZ, my brother in Canada. You had the good fortune to be able to get back in time, play a round with him and enjoy what you could, you're entitled to time off from this social stuff for that, and hats off to you and your family for making the move back just to be there at the end. I feel your pain, you definitely made the right call at the right time, just know he will continue to be proud of you no matter what.

I myself will be ending my 15 year run in the world of I.T and moving out of corporate and starting up my own golf business by doing club building and refurbishing here in Pretoria / South Africa. I made the decision to improve my quality of life and follow my passion and i feel this is my path that was chosen for me.Building my sim at home end of this year and then I am thinking of starting my own YT channel and see where it takes me. Thank you for the inspiration over the years by just being who you are. I hope one day i have the privilege to meet you in person and maybe play a round of golf with you.
