Hi.  Wanted to introduce myself.  I'm a golf nut from Southern California.  Am recently recovering from surgery to repair 3 torn quadriceps tendons in my left leg.  Just starting to play golf again after several months of rehab.   Feels good to be on the golf course again!!

Can I ask a silly question?

How do I get the actual logo of the equipment I'm using in my signature like a few others do?

[augustgolf 7]

I've been here for a short while, but am still finding my way around.

 

Just a quick intro, and offer to others out there.

 

I'm old school golf meets new millennium. From first clubs being wooden shafted to being able to hit the ball over 300 yards at the age of 60. From good old balata to resin blends.

 

Any and all tips & suggestions given to me will be listened to and considered...and, my offer to you is any questions that I may be able to help with will receive the same consideration.

 

Hope that the storm hasn't gotten in the way of your holiday weekend plans, and would love to know how your courses have handled the rains.

@jofi

Just open the emoticons/smileys window when you are replying and it shows the code for each logo

Ok maybe I just figured it out.

 

I'm Tony and have only played for 5 years. I realized (painfully) that I should have started playing at 6 vs 60. I'm a member of Catawba Island Club in northwest Ohio and am fortunate to play a lot since we live adjacent to the course.

 

Currently play to a 24 handicap and would probably play better if I could get a sports psychologist as a caddie

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but if new members would like too, BigTazz started a members map in the Members Introduction section. You can pin yourself in the area you live. It's really cool. You can look right on Google maps and see where most members are from in the US and around the world.

I always thought when new members join besides simply adding an avatar/picture they should include their location and handicap. In my mind it kind of helps paints a more complete picture. This can be accomplished in "settings". Another idea would be to add themselves to the MGS Member map.
