Best of luck with the Champions Tour John. Go get em.

Congratulations Mr. Riegger. I wish you the best with your new quest (ooh, ICT, I'm a poet all of a sudden).
G.O.L.F. is only to be found here. I don't know what's going on with those other places.

All the best !

Enjoy your time with your family!

I guess you are looking forward to a new career with the old boys? In the meantime enjoy your retirement and keep posting here on LBG.

All the best John.
Alex

A winner!
 

Family time is so precious John that you will always be a winner at home.

Hope you are a winner on tour again in 2013 also.:salut:

John, any chance of making a few clips on advice,swing etc etc....

the break will do wonders for you and enjoy the precious time with your family

+1 on making some youtube type videos if you get bored. I drove to Knoxville last summer to see a friend in the Nationwide and just happened to catch you hitting balls. Wanted to see your action from the things I have read on this site (sorry for standing right behind you on the range). You were striping it of course. Also, from where I sitting, there seems to be some depression setting in around here with rumors, etc. Im sure your imput would pick things up.

Did you notice a different sound at impact from the other players? That's what I notice with the solid TGMers like John, COMPRESSION!

Kevin

Dont remember anything about the sound other than was flush. What made an impression was the ball flight. Seemed higher and more penetrating with less effort compared to others. More freewheeling looking in motion but very centered as well. Very nice.

Sweet. I would be at the front of the line to buy some video with John and Lynn if they decide to go that direction!

Of course you already know about this (from his smoking days):

It seems retirement onto the Champions Tour is agreeing with Mr. Riegger. Nice showing at the Senior Open. T14 in 3M that included a 1st round 66 despite a double bogey thrown in. No rocking chair, geritol or medicare needed.

John Riegger: "Hello Senior World."
 

Right you are, IH82BOGEY. And the past is only prologue.

The Champions Tour makes room for only a very few.

Fewer still for those without Major Championship records.

All others must compete for the coveted FIVE Fully-Exempt spots. And also the less-than-sainted 25 others who are allowed to Monday qualify.

John Riegger is one of those "fewer still." But . . . by virtue of his birdie on the third hole of the Q-School sudden-death playoff, John earned fully-exempt status for 2013. Too bad his season started late: he turned fifty in June.

No matter. He's swinging good—he's longer and straighter than he was on TOUR for 20 years—and he's putting well. (I know the "longer and straighter" is hard to believe, but it's true.)

Trust me . . .

He will own them.

:rambo:

Just as Yoda said !

Up Up and Away!

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time

I'm floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time.

Don't stop me now
I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call.

Don't stop me now ('cause I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes I'm having a good time)
I don't wanna stop at all.

Keep it going JR, no stopping you now!:thumright
