How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap?

I have been playing golf for about seven years now. I started swinging golf clubs after I finished playing baseball, so my golf swing was not the greatest. I could not keep my head down on the ball, and I would flare out extremely with my left shoulder. Over those years, I have been able to put together a solid swing. I'm working on my mechanics daily. I still struggle like most to string together pars with the occasional birdie. My handicap hovers around +18.

What do you love about golf?

I love golf's mental grind. Every shot you have to be so mentally focused and locked in. Being able to hit great shots gives me a satisfaction that I love. Also, being able to drink beer and have a good time with your buddies is what I love about golf.

What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?

A friend of mine told me about MyGolfSpy and the community, so I wanted to see it for myself and get involved.

Where are you from? What is your home course?

I am from Fort Wayne, IN, and I would have to say my home course was Lakeside golf course before it closed, but now I play at various courses around the city.

What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?

Best thing about golf in my region is the availability. There's always time to play 9 or 18. Worst thing, courses are beginning to close down due to expansion of those areas and the lack of interest in golf, which really is unfortunate.

What do you do for a living?

I'm currently a manager for a restaurant in downtown Fort Wayne, but plan on finding a new position in Business Operations.

How’d you pick your user name?

My username is a nickname I have had for years, and it is also my xbox gamertag.

OMG I LOVE Philly Cheesesteaks! Welcome to MGS. Gotta go Im hungry now.

Hello everyone! My name is Mike. I am 40 and live in the awesome state of OHIO! I currently live in Columbus and I carry a 4 handicap. I try and play a few times a month now that I am back in school and have two jobs. I am coming back from a 10 year break away from the game. I used to be a titleist junky but I have been converted to a cobra guy. I love the stuff they are coming out with. I currently play the pro cb's from 2008 and they are amazing. For someone that plays a real player's iron the technology hasn't changed too much in the last couple decades it seems. 

Welcome Mike. You happen to be a Browns fan?

Callaway Apparel has a big and tall section.

Good to know thanks! I’ll check it out. Although I’m more the B than the T. DXL was mentioned I would recommend there. And my good friend Yer turned me on to   Gordman’s. They have a small but inexpensive and changing selection of B & T!

[THE ONE AND ONLY KIRKLAND SIGNATURE BALL THREAD]

 I posted this to you in the Paul a valuation for him but I couldn’t find a evaluation on the Kirkland ball. I hear many things about it but I’m not sure if it is all true.

Has it been tested on this site before?

What do you guys think? Anybody tried them?

I’ve heard a lot about the Kirkland balls. I’m searching through the form of ball reviews and can’t find one yet. I wonder what people think about it On my golf spy.
