| I am 50 years old and have been playing golf since I was 11.
I play approximately once a week - played 45 rounds last year. Am a member at a club. The tees I usually play give the course a length of 6350 and a Slope of 135.
My current index is 8.3. My lowest round is 73. My most common score is around an 80 in the summer and an 83-84 in the winter.
I am married with two children. I (along with other investors) have a software company that provides systems to law enforcement agencies, although I have no background in the field.
I do not change out my equipment very often.

I believe that lessons and practice improve your game more than equipment.
I play in two groups on a regular basis. I get to play either on Sunday morning or Saturday morning.
My Saturday group is a bunch of guys in their late 30's early 40's who walk and play a Dogfight/Stableford. It's you against the field in a $10 bet.
My Sunday group is a bunch of guys in their mid to late 50's who ride in carts, smoke cigars and play a bunch of team bets. They are more fun.
I have a trip to Scotland planned in June. I am still uncertain if I will be able to go because of business issues. I hope to be able to confirm my trip in the next 4-5 weeks or so.
I am an alumnus of the University of Alabama. I follow Alabama football and basketball closely. My other hobbies include music. I have a large collection and a fairly decent music system throughout my house which I wired recently with Ethernet cable.
I love golf boards as they are a fun social outlet. I hope we can get much international participation here at Shot Talk. |
