How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? Played golf off and on for over 30 years. Started at age 14. Took time off for family and life here and there. But I always come back. I'm a consistent 10 handicap but prior to an accident in 2016 I was about 5-6 for a few years. What do you love about golf? I love that even now after a near fatal accident I can still swing a club. I still have enough speed to occasionally threaten or reach 300 off the tee. I love that regardless of your limitations if you can develop some amount of consistency you can still play well without having great length off the tee. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? Love the in depth reviews and un-biased review and opinion. I nearly purchased a different driver without advice I saw here and what I spotted in other similar handicaps bags. Where are you from? What is your home course? Originally from Kentucky my home course would be Laurel Oaks Golf Club in Maysville, KY I moved to Ohio nearly 10 years ago so if I had to claim a home course here it would be Potter's Park par 69 short course that reminds me of our country club back home in Maysville. Short tight and you'll generally hit every club in the bag. If you're a good wedge player and can putt you can score well here. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Growing up in a small town unless you played the Country Club often which I didn't the public courses did not have sand bunkers of very few and far between. Coming to Ohio and the area being flatter I've had to develop a survival sand game and generally will lay up or go big as not to have to play out of the sand What do you do for a living? After having a motorcycle accident in 2016 I haven't worked a public job. Been a self employed guy working rideshare and side jobs ever since. How’d you pick your user name? A member of a motorcycle club gave me that name several years ago. It kinda stuck. It reminds me of my golf game. I twist it up and I hit into situations where gravity takes over. But if I can find my ball I can generally get out of jail. Slinkies bend and get twisted up but they never break. Trying to re tool myself to get into some golf industry. Would love to be a teaching pro but Im going to have to have a way more solid personal game to get PGA certified. Clubfitting and clubmaking aren't out of the realm of possibly career paths.
