New Guy from Fla and PA


Recommended Posts

Hi All. Just came across this awesome  site and thought I'd give it a shot. First time doing this. My name is Mike Takacs and I'm a snowbird. Live on PA 6 months and here at Heron Creek CC in North Port Fla for 6 months. I was bored in retirement and thought I'd start a website for something to do. What a dummy, I'm not bored anymore- :) Been traveling to play golf over 35 years and looking to "hook up" with like minded people. Like many old farts, I;m a slow learner but I am looking forward to learning how to navigate around this site. Thanks for listening...LATER...Mike T

Welcome to My Golf Spy Mikey.....I run a weekly (Sat) game in New Tampa @ Pebble Creek.  Currently, we have one player that drives up from Northport every Saturday to play with us.  It's a bit of a drive, but he doesn't seem to mind.  We average 45 players/week playing a points game. You are welcome to join us.

Thanks for the welcome all. Nice to be here. Might take you up on that invite to Tampa but now I am enjoying our 27 brand new holes here at Heron Creek. We just opened for play last week with 27 brand new tees, fairways, greens and roughs and it is a JOY to play. They did it right by bringing it back to the original Arthur Hills design which changed a bit over 15 years. I'll be here until May so we'll have to get together sometime. In May its back to Nazareth, Pa which is 60 miles North of Philly. Hope I killed two birds with one stone there by answering like that. Anyway, its nice to be here....LATER...MikeyT

Welcome Mikey - I'm over in St Pete so we will have to get you up our way - I'd love to suggest a home, home and home deal over the winter where we meet at Foz's course, my course and your course.  Perhaps we could get a 4th Floridian in the mix and find 4 excuses to play.  Jaxbeach comes to mind if he's game - he makes it down your way on occasion to visit family anyway.

Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60  Aldila  R flex   - 42.25 inches 

SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft

Ping G410 7, 9 wood  Alta 65 R flex

Srixon ZX5 MK II  5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex

India 52,56 (60 pending)  UST recoil 75's R flex  

Evon roll ER 5 32 inches

It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD

Definitely! I get down to Venice every couple of months. Plus a trip to Jax and TPC Sawgrass/World Golf Village/Amelia Island should of course be on your travel agenda!

Now this sounds like fun! Let's do this.

Bear with me guys if I don't answer right away. Slow learner/ still trying to figure out where everything is on this site. Beginning of this summer all I could do on a computer was answer emails and play video slots-:)

See you like Harbor Town.. Cooterman.  I am writing a review for Hilton Head for my website and will post it soon. Maybe we can compare notes.

 

 

I play HH every September, but cant afford the fancy places like H Town.   I play Shipyard and Port Royal courses.

Neither can I afford it. I played it once and that was enough. There are so many other courses that are very nice and aren't budget busters. Hilton Head National, Indigo Run, Rose Hill and Oyster reef are some of my favorites.
