With round one in the books of course Scottie and X are up on the leaderboard. To me the most exciting thing about this week and next is watching the cut line for the next week. Seems like there could be a huge swing anywhere from 40 to 70 on where those players end up. All about surviving at this point!

I’ve done the no glove too but then my grips wear down and I need the glove

There most certainly is this weird stigma around iron covers. Personally, I don't care for them but I also don't care if others use them. I honestly think it's more odd to have the two gloves than the iron covers.

Don't forget Cam Young still putting himself at the top of the leaderboard for the weekend and just playing the most average golf the last two rounds. Also, Billy Ho putting together good tournaments and a knows how to win. Is he close to getting another W? Plays well this time of year.

Michigan has some great golf courses! I worked in Ann Arbor for a few years and played some courses there. I'm really itching to play some courses in Northern Michigan. A couple of buddies are headed up there in September to play, but it didn't work out with my schedule unfortunately. It seems a lot of hockey players gravitate towards golf and are usually pretty good! Welcome to the grass rink!

I just had my first kid 11 months ago! The amount of golf has definitely decreased, but I'm hoping to continue to play and introduce the game to her and any other kids at a young age. Whether they continue to love it or go somewhere else it's at least great bonding time being out there! Welcome back to the game!

How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I've been playing golf since joining the school team in 7th grade. So about 16 years ago. Despite playing a lot I didn't get much better until a couple of years ago. My handicap has ranged anywhere from 7 - 13 but since having a kid last year could be higher. I haven't really kept a consistent GHIN but typically shoot in the 80s unless I'm at my home course, which is a wide open field with not many hazards. My best score there was par 70. What do you love about golf? My favorite thing about golf is just being outside and enjoying nature. Especially being the first one off for the day everything is so peaceful. But I also love that you can be competitive with all skill levels and it's a great way to meet new people! What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I originally saw MGS via instagram and was interested in the data they provided on all the equipment. It is a true great place to get information when trying to know what to buy for what level of golfer. I've joined the Forum probably like a lot of people to be a tester. However, I believe having a community to talk and learn new things is a great thing and I'm happy to be here! Where are you from? What is your home course? I grew up in Alabama, moved to Ohio for school (Bowling Green State University), did a short stint in PHX while interning with the Arizona Golf Association before coming back to the BG/Toledo area where I have been for 6 years. My home course has been Crosswinds which is a small public course that doesn't provide a lot of challenge but it is a great course to walk and place that new golfers can come and feel welcomed. However, recently moving to back to BG I'm not sure where my home will lie. Stone Ridge would be the premier chose, but I haven't committed to that being home just yet. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? The fall could be considered the best and worst thing about golf in the region. The color during the fall in unmatched. However, that means leaves are everywhere and it makes finding your ball difficult. Another bad thing is the inconsistent weather early spring and late fall with cold and wind coming and going. What do you do for a living? I'm an Operations Manager for BGSU doing mostly facility maintenance management. Overseeing custodial and overall cleanliness of campus. How’d you pick your user name? I use this username for all social media so one to create consistency and two so I don't forget what my username is lol.
