Hi from Sweden
Just to introduce myself, a registered golf abuser from the South of Sweden. Golf has already cost me one marriage, I'm aiming for a three peat.

Re: Hi from Sweden
Welcome!! The "south of Sweden" is beautiful country! Was blessed to have the opportunity to visit there a few years ago. One of the towns, I believe, was Lindos. We were allowed to spend some time touring the factories of Orefors, Cosa Boda, etc. Sent some beautiful crystal home to the wife. But, if I remember correctly, the trees were extremely tall. Seemed like you were driving through ancient forests. Do the courses you play have those tall pines lining the fairways??

Re: Hi from Sweden
Unfortunately, yes! If there was only tall pines you'd have a shot at getting out, but there are also a fair amount of birches, elms and oaks, all with low branches reaching out to grab any ball that comes their way. Don't ever believe the myth about a tree being 90 % air. It does however teach you the premium of hitting fairways from the tee, even if you are forced to sacrifice some distance. Down here we are however fortunate enough to have a few links and sea-side courses around the coastline. So when the frustration of walking in the woods becomes overwhelming all I need is a 40 minute drive.

Honey, you're my #1 and golf is #2, you want to remain #1? Don't mess with #2! She didn't heed the advice.
