How long have you been playing golf? I was brought into golf as a kid by my dad. I played occasionally, but didn’t really have much interest as I was quite into other sports, football, basketball, baseball, etc. However, after caddying for a year, it began to truly peak my interest in my last two years of high school. Since then golf has consumed my summers. Constant practice, play, consumption of YouTube videos, and now that it’s been a few years since I’ve played a sport competitively, I would like to try my hand at competitive golf soon. What’s your handicap or normal score? Mid to high 80’s What do you love about golf? I love that there’s almost no flukes in golf. There’s so much of a grind to teach your body how to hit certain clubs, play certain shots, and how to go about playing different holes and courses. It makes practice and success feel extremely rewarding. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? Im very much an equipment and specs nerd. Coming from a background in cameras from videography and photography, I’ve learned that both what changes to expect on an image from using certain pieces of equipment, and how to use that information to achieve my goal of a shot. This same idea applies to golf, and I’d like to learn more about the technical aspects of different clubs and shafts as well as the golf swing. Learning this stuff boosts my confidence on the course big time. I feel as if here along with some other websites I can get trustworthy insight to these things. Where are you from? What is your home course? Im from the Chicagoland area, and my home course is Coyote Run. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? No matter what anyone tells me, I will never enjoy an Illinois winter lol. What do you do for a living? I am a photographer, videographer, and filmmaker. How’d you pick your user name? By lacking any creativity
