  1. Our daughter lives in Austin, Tx. I will come check out Balcones CC on our next trip.
  2. I am new to this forum, but have been reading MyGolfSpy articles for a while now. With the COVID-19 lock-down I thought I would jump into the forum. I first started the game at age 5. My dad brought me a long to the course to "caddy" for him. I got my first club and played with him the next weekend and was hooked. I played competitively through my youth with enough success to earn a scholarship at the University of Arkansas (hence my username). After graduating, I started working at IBM, got married and started a family. With little time to practice, my game deteriorated and I got frustrated in my play. The clubs went into the attic (I still have them). Fast forward 30 years and I am falling in love with the game again (the smell of fresh cut grass, playing with friends and family, chasing the sunset to squeeze nine more holes in, practicing with purpose and seeing the results). After retiring from IBM, I started my own consulting firm allowing me to stay relevant, help others, and to have the flexibility to travel and chase my passions (competitive golf again). New equipment was needed and I found MyGolfSpy's unbiased, data-driven reviews very valuable in sorting through the marketing claims to find my new set. We have settled in Tulsa, Oklahoma and play at Oaks Country Club, a beautiful, but diabolical A.W. Tillinghast course that is the longest "short" course I have ever played. Oklahoma is a golf crazed state with a surprising number of quality courses from many of the greatest architects: Tillinghast (Oaks CC, Tulsa CC), Maxwell (Southern Hills CC, Dornick Hills CC), Dye(Oak Tree) and Fazio (Golf Club of Oklahoma). Oklahoma State and Oklahoma produce PGA Tour players in a constant flow. Oklahoma is also centrally located, making travel to play the Top 100 Golf Courses in the US (12 so far) feasible.
