New Member - Michigan


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

I'm a new member from mid-Michigan.  Grew up in a family of avid golfers and am sort of a late bloomer as far as that goes haha!  I'm the only guy on my dad's side that didn't play in high school, college or pursue touring/PGA professional as a career.  They have 21 hole-in-ones racked up on that side of the family, my Uncle once got 2 in 1 day doing a 100-hole charity golf Ironman event - heck, even my grandma has at least one... I've only ever come within a foot or two.  Took a trip to Scotland with a few of the guys in my family a few weeks ago and had a blast/caught the golf-bug again - haven't been this into golf since I was little and doing junior golf (I'm mid-late 20's now)!  I've been really having fun with it, I love spending time at the driving range later in the evening & practicing chips and putts after cycling through my clubs a few times.  Just learned about the clock-drill for putting and spent about 1 1/2 hours last night just practicing my 6 footers!

 

Learned about this community through gear reviews/googling "best golf websites" - so cool, I know..

 

Look forward to learning more tips and improving my handicap!

Nice, the west coast is beautiful!  I was born and raised in the mid-Michigan/greater Flint area.  I'm back and forth between there and the Detroit area.

I play on the road in the winter with orange or yellow spheres.... pretty much every day above 0° and wind less than 20mph.

 

It's like playing out of sand, but standing on ice, and the "fairway" is only 30 feet wide. Keeps you "planted" for sure.
