   Welp, I’m all done. I started in this business 24 years ago as I got ready to retire from the Coast Guard. There are many, many people to thank for the success that I’ve had and I will miss all of them. I’m retiring at the end of a May,. 
   Jackie and I will be moving back to our home in Michigan to be closer to our kids and their families. I’ve enjoyed almost every minute of it. Thank you all for your support and guidance over the years.
   
   Regards,
   
   Steve

   Well I couldn't let this post sit all alone without a "...and don't let the door hit you in the arse" sendoff :).
   
   Best wishes, Steve. Glad to have had the chance to get to know you over the years albeit via forums. On a side note, I don't suppose you have a need for a gently used 1995 Toro Hydroject? Cheap-cheap.

   Thank you. I wished I’d had one of those over the years, but alas, I no longer need it.
   thanks again

   Good luck! You might have to follow the many other Michigan folks who frequent our place in the winter when they can't get out on their home courses.

   Hi Jr.
   
   Congratulations on your retirement. Hope you keep your home in FL especially for the winter months. 7 or 8 months in Michigan will be just right for Democrats and 4 or 5 months in FL. will be just right for Republicans. As Corey says keep up with the forum. It won't be the same without you.

   I’m not surprised that you somehow managed to make this political.

    Good morning Steve,
    
    Although I only know you through your posts here on the forums I hope you have a chance to sit back, relax and enjoy your retirement. I was able to retire almost six years ago and although I haven't played as much golf as I had hoped to I find my life to be busier than ever. Some really challenging times in the golf business right now so I am sure it's nice to have the opportunity to take more time to be with family and friends. As a former Michigander myself there are a lot of things I love about the state but pretty hard to beat the weather here in Northern California so I am staying put for now!
    
    Enjoy your retirement!!!

    Thank you. What a weird time for a life changing decision, eh?
