I really like the Mizuno Head cover. To Classy. How does it go?

I play in Surrey UK. Ive played for a long while, since I was a kid. But I am really taking it serious now as I have given up other sports. I play of 13. Im looking for the community to  help  me cut through the marketing bs. Worst thing about golf in Surrey is the cost. It can attract some wallys who have dropped serious cash and so feel entitled to treat people without respect. It can be a bit of status symbol where you play, the gear you have, etc. The spirit of the game and respect to others can be lost. True of a lot of things in Surrey tbh. I still love the mental aspect of playing the course. The physical side is equal to the mental control you need. Strategy and risk vs reward are the best elements imo. Also I love bombing it miles if I can!!!

Hello, I am a new member. I spent many years at another big golf forum website and was ready for a change after mismanagement at that site. I’ve been really impressed for years by the MGS reviews and testing, plus I’ve recently gotten into listening to the No Putts Given podcasts and like them a lot. 
 
I was ready for new equipment in 2020 after spending several years with poor fitting equipment, and I took advantage of the PXG ~50% off sales to get some great equipment at good values. 
 
My 2020 setup includes:
PXG 0811 X 10.5 Gen 2 (Fujikura Pro 2.0 70X)
PXG 0341 X 15 Gen 2 (Fujikura Pro 2.0 70X)
PXG 0817 X 19 Gen 2 (Fujikura Pro 2.0 70X)
PXG 0311 P Gen 2 4 thru GW (Project X 6.5)
54 and 58 Cleveland RTX 4 (DG TI S400)
Taylormade Ardmore 3

How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score?
Hi, My name is Peter and I'm from the little island across what you would call "The Pond", Old England. I'v been playing for 23 years and a handicap of 16.
What do you love about golf?
I'd watched golf on television when I was in my teens and always thought it needed too much accuracy and would cost the earth. 30 years later when there was a glut of golf clubs and they were basically begging you to join I tried it. Then the bug bit and 20+ years later I'm still trying to perfect my game. This last weekend I think I got close to what I would call feeling comfortable with how I play but it has been a Love/Hate relationship. Our club Seniors have a summer friendly competition with 17 other clubs in the South which I enjoy playing in.
What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?
I did a search for a review on Shot Scope and found you people.
Where are you from? What is your home course?
As I said, Old England, in the deep south near Bournemouth a coastal holiday town. Home course is Rushmore Golf Club high on chalk downs in a private estate with some gorgeous views and tall redwood trees. I have had the misfortune of hitting most of them as well. Has the unique distinction of being in two Counties, (States); a beautiful mature course.
What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?
The friendliness of the regions members, the worst being the weather. We don't water our fairways and last year's very hot and prolong weather scorched the fairway grass and now in winter the fairways are a but muddy in the rain. Fortunately ours aren't too bad but still we're suffering a bit.
What do you do for a living?
I teach people to drive. Patience of a Saint. Past retiring age but just love the job and as long as the phone keeps ringing with prospective clients I'll still keep teaching. Keeps me in golf, beer and good holidays money.
How’d you pick your user name?
Thomas Hardy wrote his books in this area and Wessex was a fictitious County in the south where I live. So it's called Wessex One to One School of Motoring. I specialise in Automatic Tuition and help the people who have been disabled with stroke etc to get back behind the wheel.

I've been playing golf for 20+ years but have really taken it more seriously in the last 7 or 8 years.  I'm a 9 handicap, who is aiming to be a 7...  Aren't we all....  Handicap is frozen for the winter but my scores have really started to come down this winter.  Regularly shoot in the high 70's and low 80s, with the odd round in the low to mid-70s.  73 best round 3 times.  
I love the fact that as good as you can play you can never play a perfect game!  Keeps you coming back for more every single time!!  Love the comradery and friendly competition that brings golfers together!!  Other than my family memories, my best memories are of fun times with buddies on the golf course!!  Awesome!
I've been following MGS for a couple years now and decided to become part of the family.  #1 place to find any kind of golf content!!  Sorry Mark Crossfield, Rick Sheils, James Robinson....  etc...  Still, love you guys too...  Shout out to TXG Tour Experience Golf!!  Good Canadian kids!!!  Keep up the fine work!!
I'm from Vancouver in Beautiful British Columbia, Canada!  I'm a players club member at Morgan Creek Golf Course, which is where I play much of my golf.  However, my golf group will play at several different courses.  Sand Baggers and Whiners.
We have some very nice courses here in Metro Vancouver as well as world-class courses all over the province.  Our weather is the worst thing about where we live.  That being said, I have played every weekend since Sept until last week, when mother nature decided to dump 40cm (15 3/4 inches) on us.  Can't complain about our weather so far this winter...  It can melt anytime...
I'm a teacher.  Summers off to feed the addiction.  
Looking forward to getting to know like-minded golf fanatics!!
Cheers!!
