Introducing myself, been a member on here for a while but haven't participated as well as I could or should.
1 - Been playing golf for over 20 years (started when I was 15), but only really been serious in the last 5 years. I aim for breaking 80, most times its a struggle to keep it under 90.
2 - Outside, new gear, those damn shots that keep you coming back even if the rest of the round was the one that would make you quit.
3 - Learning about new gear, tips and basically being involved in a golf community.
4 - From New Zealand, live in Colorado. Don't really have a true home course however the closest and most likely contender is the Riverdale Golf facility which has 2 18 hole layouts.
5 - Best things about golf in CO is you can practically play all year round, if there is no snow on the greens we can play! Worst is when there is snow on the greens.
6 - I have recently made a massive career change away from my tried & true, traditional tradesman-based controls engineering into the ever-expanding Industrial Cybersecurity field.
7 - See #4, it will make sense.
