Welcome aboard gents!

Howdy. I'm a hacker who broke 100 for the first time ever yesterday, which actually had me pleased as punch since before a couple of weeks ago, I hadn't golfed in over 5 years, and last year my right shoulder was so bad I couldn't lift my arm above shoulder level.

 

[Patt]

My name is Patt, and I live in Northern Alberta, Canada. I currently play to a 6, though it has been as low as 4. Although I love where I live, I do wish the golf season lasted longer than May-October. My low round for the year is a 73, and my goal is to shoot par (or less!)

The following picture is from last Tuesday (Aug 30, 2005) on the 13th hole at my local course.

Hello Everybody

I have a fever. I havn't played in about 6 years and I'm not quite sure why. I retired a couple of years ago and have finally finished doing everything else. Now it's time to get serious. I've got everything together and I'm ready to go, I just need to find some patiant people to go with so I can work on my game. If you know anybody in the MD, WV, Northern VA, Southern PA, DC suburbs looking for a fourth, please let me know.

Hello

I'm a 27 year old Graphic Designer from Leeds (UK). I took up golf seriously this year. been playing on and off for a few years. I have joined today, partly because I am interested in gauging the interest of golfers in websites that are golf related and partly because I LOVE golf. Gold webdesign is a saturated market but wondered if you would post your favourite and least favouite sites and what you would like to see from your local club website.

I have started this thread to see what your opinions are.

Hi All

Hi everyone

thought I would introduce myself.
I am 30 and have just started playing again after quite a long time away from the game, about 15/16 years roughly (can't remember exactly when I stopped)I am originally from a small village about 12 miles outside Glasgow in Scotland I now live in England near Birmingham.You can see my swing on a movie I posted in the pictures section.I have no clubs at the moment so I am borrowing a different set every time I have the oppertunity for a game.I joined here to hopefully pick up some tips and improve my play ( when I get going again properly) and also to have some fun and share some stories.I hit a 7 iron about 180 odd yards and probably drive around 230-250 yds.Mostly at a 45 degree angle but im working on that lol

Hello all,

I'm in the Navy and just hit the three year mark. I've been playing since i was 5, 23 yrs old now, and I'm a 17 handicap. I had a lot of breaks in my game so I never really developed a fluid swing until a year ago. But hopefully here I'll be able to learn some things and maybe give out a few tips as well.

 

[Slingblade61]

Welcome z26!

Do the alot of the bases have courses?

I vaguely remember playing at Pensacola NAS about 20 years ago.

 

[Loop]

There's also the Navy Seals Golf course in Cypress, near Orange County in South Cal.
Nice course.
There's some kind of airport with helicopters flying around near the course.

 

[z26golf]

most of the large bases around here have courses. There are two 18 hole courses on nas oceana, one on little creek, one on norfolk, and a few across the bay on langley and other bases.

There is a base back home in illinois on the rock island arsenal, however its a private club, on a military base???...I just went today and shot my best of the season too, 12 over!!! Plus I birdied a par 5 that I have never even got par on!! All while the blue angles were making noise

I played at pensacola three years ago right out of boot camp and played horribly. It was a well layed out design though.

 

[Slingblade61]

"boot camp"
Ahhh, the memories.

[SonicBoomGolf]

Hey all. My name is Jason. I am 25 years old and live right outside of the wonderful city of Chicago. I've been an avid golfer for about 13 years and the game continues to put me in my place like clock work.

I currently work for Corporate America working with SAP and BW (computer stuff). I have also started a golf conditioning company that you can visit by checking out my profile.

I currently play to a 6 handicap, but I have no idea how it stays that low. I typically take the scenic route around the course. I figure if I am paying all that money I might as well get the full tour. The problem stems from my 140 MPH swing speed. Really nice when it goes right. Really horrible when it goes wrong. Needless to say, my style of play is a LITTLE aggressive. Narrow fairways are my sworn enemy.

I play some knock off Nike irons. They get the job done for me and they were custom made for pretty cheap.

If you have any fitness questions, throw them my way. I look forward to talking with you all and sharing stories!
