DougC38 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 New guy here... I'm Doug and I'm from Levittown, PA. I'm 35, married and have a 4 year old son. This is all newer territory for me due to always having interest in the game but barely playing. A little background... I've been an Auto Tech for as long as I can remember and was working for a tire shop as the head tech. One of the salesmen was very much into golf and got a few of us into the game also. I traded some work on his wife's car for a driver, pitching wedge and putter to get me started. He also set me up with a cheap set of Prince irons so I had next to complete set. Fast forward 10 years (now), my wife finally got sick of me talking about going golfing and got me a free bucket for the driving range for Father's Day haha. I loved every second and shot of that large bucket even though every 9 out of 10 shots were sliced haha. So now I'm hooked and trying to learn the game and find people that also love the game. I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone and learning the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougC38 Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Welcome! What's the most reliable and affordable car on the market today, in your opinion? Thanks! All depends on what you want to spend really... Honda's can get a little on the expensive side but as long as you take care of them they will never die. Next affordable would be Hyundai or Kia. They still have little stupid issues but have come a long way in reliability. My wife has a 2011 Kia Sportage that turned 100k recently and I've only done a battery and regular maintenance and it still runs like a top (and she is pretty rough on cars haha). There is always a debate over what car is the best but these in my opinion are the better out of the bunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougC38 Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Awesome to read this. Just remember this whenever you are out there. Never feel intimidated. When I started,I felt so intimidated that I only played on executive par 3 courses. Now I look back and I see how some people play and realize I had nothing to fear. And always enjoy yourself.I was actually just talking to my buddy that went to the driving range with me the first time... he has never been golfing and didn't know how to even swing the club. We were setting up another day to go pitch and putt and he told me to try and find someone more my skill level. I tell him that he is ridiculous and it's not about how good we are... I'm just there to have fun and I enjoy trying to help him as much as I can. I know I'll never be as good as the pro's or most of the guys out there but it's fun to play and maybe one day, hell, I might actually get good haha. Now I'm trying to get my son into the game also... my wife is gonna regret the day she made me go haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
