Hello all. It was recently pointed out to me that I never did a new member intro thread, so here goes.
34 years old, male currently living in Columbus, OH but originally from Edgerton, WI (a little town on the shores of the Rock River nestled between Milton and Janesville, about 30 miles south of Madison that no one has ever heard and really never did anything signifigant other than produce Steve Stricker and author Sterling North and Im not sure Sterling North is all that signifigant anymore).
I currently work in an auto plant here in Ohio. Its a sweet gig and I enjoy it.
All in all, Ohio isnt as bad as youd probably think. Theres an abundance of golf courses that for the most part have reasonable greens fees, theres a few PGA Tour and the occasional LPGA Tour event in the area every year (The Memorial Tournament and the Bridgestone Invitational and last year the President's Cup was here). Its one of the benefits of Jack Nicklaus being from Columbus.
As you can imagine, being a Badger fan, Ive developed a particular disdain for Ohio State but thats to be expected. They hate the Badgers and I hate the Buckeyes. Im just thankful that I live in a city where I can still see my teams play in person from time to time. I still see the Brewers play a few times a year because Cincy is so close and so easy to get to and now that we have Big Ten hockey, Im able to see Badger hockey in person every year (I used to have season tickets when I lived in Wisconsin and I was very much missing Badger hockey). As for Badger football, basketball and the Packers; tickets are pretty expensive for all them when they play here, which isnt a bad thing. I know that we looked into going to Cincy when Green Bay was in town last season and tickets were pretty expensive, about $200 each.
As for golf, Im a decent player. I can usually shoot bogey. My shortgame, putting and irons are pretty decent; although I sometimes fight a push and dont always hit my 3-wood and hybrid as well as Id like to.
