    Hello from Peterborough

    Hello everyone my names mike, im 17 and i live in Peterborough which is in Cambridgeshire.

    I have only just started playing golf and bought myself a set of Maxfli Enforcers to get me going.

    I haven't played a full 18 holes yet with my clubs, but with the driver im hitting 200+ quite conistantly allthough they tend to swerve alot, as for the 3 iron im hitting the same sort of distance but more consistancy in the straightness of the ball.

    Mike.

    Welcome aboard mate...

    Since you are brand new to the world's greatest game - would you consider this?

    Keep a diary of your rounds and after you play, come on here and tell us how it went. What shots went well and which went wayward.

    It would be kind of like Reality TV except we wouldn't get any video. We would enjoy hearing about your rounds and could provide suggestions and coaching as you went along...

    Yes mate, sound's brilliant.

    I've got a lesson arranged at Milton Golf Course next sunday, which im hoping i can pick up tips to improve my swing and other various things i don't quite understand.

    Another good point, is that the shop i work in has a golf department, and i've been put forward to take over after the current golf tech leaves, AND theres a driving room w/ net and a putting green, so i can spend my spare time in there! hehe.

    Really apreciate the support im getting, thanks alot guys.
