How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I wish i got into it sooner, but grew up with no family or friends into golf, so i never got into it. Ended up marrying my wife who played Golf in High School and a few years in college. I got a hand-me-down golf set from my grandpa which got into into it in 2017, so that is about when i started! haha. i only played about 6 rouands in total between then and 2021, but 2021 came and i have played 6 rounds already this year, been hitting the range frequently and practicing at home. Just had a baby though (3 months old now, yay!) so that has slowed my golfing, but i am itching to golf more and get better. my normal score is like 110/115+ i am not good. but on a par3/4 9 hole courses (where i don't need my driver) i hit pretty well actually and average about 45/50! What do you love about golf? playing against yourself, being outside, the challenge. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I have no friends here , just joined because i love the reviews and analysis. Where are you from? What is your home course? I live in the Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA area. I have a membership just at a local course (Inverwood golf course in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota) i got on a deal (it was like $350 for 3 years, but just has some dumb rules around tee-times). It's a pretty good course and (in my opinion well maintained) a little challenging, but fun. Not sure if I'll never be able to afford a CC, but maybe a nicer club in the future :). What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Best: Summer weather can be amazing in Minnesota, lots of courses in the Minneapolis Metro Area Cons: Even the average courses I'd say are pretty expensive ($40+) for 18 without a cart, very busy because everyone wants to get their golf in the summer. WINTER, no golf for ~6 months a year. What do you do for a living? Software engineer How’d you pick your user name? it's part of my last name with a "y" at the end. Real creative, but it stuck from my Computer gaming days from Highschool.
