Hello from Canada! I've been golfing for about 8 years when I had a customer who owned a local course and would get the golf cart tires fixed at my shop. He ended up dropping off free passes every week and a buddy and I picked up clubs and started playing. It's a difficult course and after a couple years of hacking our way around the track shooting 100-110 I decided to get serious. I used to do a lot of travel rock climbing but with age the risks started to not be worth it anymore. Within a few years I had dropped to a 10.1 index but then came my wife, and a house, and a couple dogs so playing time was harder to come by and when I was only getting out once a month my handicap crept up to around 18. Two years ago I dedicated myself to atleast one round a week and to work towards getting into the single digits. I finished off last year as an 11.7 and am looking forqard to the snow melting to work on getting to that 9. What isn't there to love? I've been a long time reader of MGS and because of the testing I gave many brands a try which I never would have thought about in the past and even ended up with a set of Srixon Z565 irons because of it. I hail from the snowy north (Ontario, Canada). My home course is Hidden Lake Golf Club. This will be my first year as a member at a club the last several years I've floated around most of the courses in the Burlington area. We have a ton of great courses in a small area but we have long winters. I golf for a living but I'm mechanic in order to pay for that. Used my name, I'm not too creative.
