Howdy y'all! My name is Tyler, I am from the Bend, Or area. Actually grew up out here before heading east and then moving back in 2019. Figured I would get active in some forums to try and endure these last couple weeks of winter!
How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score?
I only started playing golf last April...so barely a year now. Other than top golf and screwing around on the driving range with buddies in college, I'd never really played a true round of golf. Got hooked immediately though. I ended the year shooting low 90s and breaking 90 a couple of times last year. Will be keeping a handicap this year but guessing 18-20.
What do you love about golf?
Definitely the community aspect. It's great that all the guys I hang with golf too, and with busy personal lives, it's a great way to get out and hang with the boys. But I also golf alone a lot and have met some genuinely great people by being the random solo on their tee time. At the same time, I also love that I can go out to the course by myself and just work on my game. The individual responsibility to actually go and get better is awesome, and those moments where something clicks and you get a part of your game right are the best feeling.
What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?
I am a bit of a gear junkie and love getting into the numbers and data. All of the testing and translation of data here is awesome. I also love hearing about other people's thoughts and experiences on the equipment they play. The game of golf is so universally concise, yet simultaneously relative to each individual. So I love seeing other perspectives and thoughts on different aspects of the game.
Where are you from? What is your home course?
I'm from Bend, Or. Grew up here in Central Oregon, so it is definitely home. I like to mix it up with the courses out here, but I default to Widgi Creek more often than not. Highly recommend it if you have never been.
What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?
The courses around Central Oregon are beautiful and always in great condition during the season. Definitely spoiled. The worst part is the winter. guaranteed 4 months of no golf, and very little opportunity for indoor practice.
What do you do for a living?
I work for a real estate marketing agency.
How’d you pick your user name?
Just used my real name!
Looking forward to chattin with y'all. Always down for a round if anyone is around Bend!
