QueenoftheGreen Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Hello to all. I'm just getting back to golf after a multi-year medical break. I was playing 4-5 times week from 2005-2010, and started doing ladies Long Drive in 2009. My profile photo is my tee shot on Hole #4 at Tidewater Golf & Country Club in Myrtle Beach, SC in November, 2008, 255 yards from the red tees. (Yes, I made the putt! LOL) Unfortunately, by 2012 I was having trouble with my lower back, and have barely played since 2013. In October, 2016, I had major back surgery, and was finally cleared to play again 3 months ago. I'm a very different golfer now than I was then: I'm a half an inch taller, my flexibility is completely different, and of course, I'm older now, too. (duh!!) I've been working with a swing coach since late spring, and 2 weeks ago we decided it was time for a major overhaul of my clubs. Currently in the bag: Ping G400MAX driver, 5wood and 4i hybrid, Titleist 775 CB's just re-shafted with UST recoil shafts, Cleveland SmartSole S + C wedges, and my trusty Rife putter. I've played about 6 or 8 times this summer, but many hours on the range. My best handicap was about a 10, but currently breaking 100 is not a given. I have not played at all with the newly reconfigured clubs yet....just too hot here. Outside of golf, I'm a nurse...program manager for the Advanced Liver Disease clinic at a major hospital, and also go to school full-time for a Master's in Nursing Informatics. I have a wonderful significant other, Jake, who also golfs but had knee surgery 2 months ago and is out until next spring. I like to read, cook...Italian especially, and I'm finally able to slowly get back into horseback riding. I found this site when doing some research on the new shafts for my irons. I enjoyed the ladies golf review, and look forward to spending more time here! May the course be with you..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny B Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Welcome from the Pacific Northwest! Glad you joined us. Nice intro!! My wife had back surgery 10 years ago, and it made a big difference in her golf game. Now she gets upset if she doesn't break 90. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenoftheGreen Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Thanks for the warm welcome! I laughed out loud at "Your Majesty...." Huntington...uhhh...Garden City, SC? Please make sure you take appropriate precautions during the storm!! I'm further inland now, although I just moved here (just south of Winston-Salem area) a year ago from Wilmington, NC. We're watching it, and expect some rain and wind, but nothing like what it will be closer to the coast. In a strange stroke of luck, the swing coach I was working with moved to a course that is just a few minutes from where I work when I go into the office. They have a very nice practice facility there, and we plan to spend most of the rest of the fall fine tuning short game stuff, and probably not a whole lot of full swing just yet. I did play a few weeks ago in Pinehurst with my regular golf buddies.....a group I go back to the old days with. They were very patient with my unpredictability, and a great time was had by all. Super fun course: The Cradle, Pinehurst short course. Anyone played there?? 789 yards, shortest hole is 51 yards, longest 127. They give you a Sunday bag, and you walk the course. Golf Digest wasn't kidding when they said it was the "Most Fun 10 acres in golf!!!!" May the course be with you..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
