Hello everyone my names Mike! Pleasure to meet you all.
How long have you been playing golf?
This is my 3rd year playing golf. Bought an old set of ping eye2s off a friend for 100 dollars and I’ve been hooked ever since. Still using the same irons. Need an update.
What’s your handicap or normal score?
I don’t know what my handicap is I’d wager somewhere around 15. I normally shoot anywhere from low 80s 81 being my best to low 90s on a poor day
What do you love about golf?
I love that it’s something I can do for a long, long time and continue to try and get better at. I wish I would’ve started as a kid, I loved baseball and football too much to give golf a fair chance.
What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?
Not to answer out of order but no I do not know any other spies. Not that I know of any way. I’m here to be part of a community, a place where I can learn and as mentioned I’m a little tired of my ping eye2s I’ve never tried any other iron but I feel I can improve my game enough with newer irons to have it bother me. Where else to be able to make the best choice than a place where people test things.
Where are you from? What is your home course?
I live in Bensenville, IL just by O’Hare airport. Right across the street from White Pines golf club.
What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?
Honestly it’s all I know. I’ve never golfed outside of my area so I have nothing to compare it to. So I’ll just say weather, the weather sucks. It makes golf into a seasonal sport.
What do you do for a living?
I’m a US Army veteran currently using my G.I. Bill to get into the sports media. I’ve directed and operated replay and camera for an independent baseball league called the American Association. I’ve also operated Replay and graphics for Windy City Bulls games the Chicago Bulls G-League Affiliate. Just getting started in the industry and still going to school so saving for a new set of irons is difficult.
How’d you pick your user name?
First initial, Last name, my MOS or job in while in the Army 19d is a Cavalry Scout.
