Greetings MGS community,
I have been a follower of the data and YT channel for a while. I am glad to be here and chatting with some other avid golf fanatics. I love to play and was serious for a while, but family and injuries put it on the back burner. The kids are grown now, and I bought my first set of new fitted irons for the first time in almost 15 years last week. Ready to try and shoot par again, but enjoy it more than I did when I was in my 20s.
How long have you been playing golf?
32 years now, wow I am getting old, but had to take it very easy for a number a years with injuries.
What’s your handicap or normal score?
I am back in the mid 80s, but used to be mid-high 70s when playing at least once a week.
What do you love about golf?
The camaraderie, values, challenge, and time in nature.
What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?
I have wanted to be part of the MGS community for a while, but my body wasn't letting me play without severe pain for a long time. Finally healthy-ish again so wanted to jump in.
Where are you from? What is your home course?
All over the place, but I call NWestern NC home now, and I play a little place called Silo Run regularly. I don't really have a "home" course. I like to play Tanglewood regularly too.
What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?
Best, mountain to flatland courses within an easy drive. Worst, my closest club has really went through hard times and doesn't have the population for an investor to treat it right.
What do you do for a living?
I have been a Telecom Engineer for 30 years.
How’d you pick your user name?
I picked it years ago as a handle to blow up the cliques. I always got along with all groups and didn't like seeing some great people excluded because they were too poor, shy, geeky...whatever so CliqBoom
