kubota, I use it as you would use "old codger" or "old fart," an almost affectionate term. However, my dictionary says "an incompetent or dimwitted person."
We know there are none of those on this board. :-) ....

I see i see...when i think duffer, i automatically think like duffer bag...you know those nylon things with the zippers that you put your clothes in when you go on vacation...or maybe even someone that shows his duff in public (ie rear end) ....

Yeah, i guess you're right on the duffle bag bit...but what can i say...i think we should throw the whole duffer subject in a tub grinder and spread it out on to a different topic, what do you say? (that way there's no chance in picking it back up again) ....

Welcome indeed.
I have several female employees who will be the first to tell you they can drive a tractor better than the men, they will also be the last to tell you that, and they will probably tell you a few times in the middle too....LOL
Golf trivia, from a guy who builds golf courses, the term "old duffer" originated in Scotland and was applied to older fellows who had maybe lost a bit of their sight, or had a 'wee dram' of wiskey before playing golf, but play they did. 'Duff' was a term for missing the ball or hitting it badly.
Hopefully you will learn a little from some of the boring data we regularly throw around here before you're bored silly by it.
Best of luck.

Murf;
I know I used the term correctly, although I am not that old. Lack of tight ligament in the right knee, from hockey and skiing certainly make me a duffer though.
Don't sweat it and stay cool. Most of us type 60 mistakes a minute anyways.
We do get and provide some good info here, Eh. ....

alright there duder, correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't groundhogs day back in february? Maybe its just so cold up there they go right back in (or don't come out at all)...or maybe ya'll don't even have that corny "holiday" up there. i'm sure gemplers sells one of those electrical machines that you put in the ground and the electrical current scares away rodents (if it comes down to it) ....

Larry, ClubLink (a good client) doesn't build many courses, they prefer to buy them, it's actually cheaper since they don't pay cash, they give the owner ClubLink shares for putting his course in the group. Larry, if you are in the GTA and play much golf then, yes you probably have played on several courses I've worked on. The majority of our work is away now though, both because of our cost advantage to working in the US or the Islands where the job is bid in US$ and we have a built in 35% price advantage, but also because they are not building many courses here because of the high land costs. LAtely we have had a run of building courses and doing the landscaping for new resort developments.
Eric, I'm not that old either but it's one of those 'industry' things you just pick up along the way. In my case PLAYING golf is a catch 22, I get free play on any course owned by a client, but when I get there the greens staff usually ambush me trying to get an opinion on something. I found a trick to typing less mistakes, I only use two fingers instead of all 8, that way I reduce my mistake-making potential by 75% ... now there's logic huh?
Kubotachick, we aren't any further north than you are, just a little east thats all. You're Ex is a tree man, and you describe most tree men as being drunks, I see a theme developing here....... At least he left you some decent saws. LOL
Best of luck.
