How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I have been playing golf competitively for 8 years, recreational for about 10 years. My handicap is a 0.9 What do you love about golf? I have always loved the outdoors, and there is no better sport to play than golf when it comes to that. I love the challenge that the sport offers. But more importantly, I love making connections on the golf course and meeting new people through common interests. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I wanted to come to MyGolfSpy to learn more about technology and equipment within golf, but also share some of my opinions on the game. I do know a couple other spies. Where are you from? What is your home course? I am from Canby, Oregon, and my home course is Arrowhead Golf Club What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Best- The summer does not get too hot and it becomes perfect golfing conditions. Lots of trees on the local courses give you some shade too. worst- The winter is pretty wet so you cant get out and play too much in the winter months. What do you do for a living? I am currently going to college and play on my college team. How’d you pick your user name? Its a nickname that I grew up with.

Im curious to see how many people on here use triple track/truvis/pix technology on their golf balls. I have never played a full round with either ball, but I have used them on the putting green at my home course. I really like the visual that they give, but I'm nervous about a misprint. Has anyone noticed a misprinted line on any of their golf balls?

I am interested in trading my current gamer driver (Titleist TS2 10.5- Evenflow T1100 White shaft Stiff, tipped 1/2 inch) with a cobra driver, either F9 or Speedzone driver. Let me know if you are interested.

I also feel like I play better when I walk. I think I just get in more of a groove walking. I like to carry my bag, but I also use a clicgear from time to time, it just depends on how sloping the course is. If the course has lots of hills, I will elect to carry. I love to walk because I get to see more of the intentional design of the course, but I also like to walk if there are people in front of me. I play pretty fast, especially in a cart, so walking gives me the chance to slow down and go at my own pace if I need to, so I'm not waiting 5 minutes behind the ball.

There is such a huge price difference between the two. If you have the money, the outdoor putting green may be beneficial. I have always wanted one so I could not only putt on it but also hit some chip/short pitch shots into the green and see the spin characteristics on different shots. I have a birdie ball putting mat that is 3 feet wide by 10 feet long and it is a great mat for me to practice my short putts and rolling the ball on line. However, if I had the money, I would invest in an outdoor green so it would be more versatile. It all depends on what you want to practice and how you want to utilize your space. If you desire to practice short game as a whole, an outdoor setup/bigger putting green would be the way to go. If you just need to practice putting, a simple putting mat like a birdie ball would do the job. Another great aid to check out would be the delta putt. Hope this helps -M
