Hello from North Carolina


Recommended Posts

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.....

I echo everyone else's sentiments--- welcome--- I knew that was Tidewater when I saw the pic. And yes you are 100% correct it is as hot and humid as Hades here but I played at least 18 every day the last 9 days since I was on vacation. I always carry my cooler with plenty of ice and water since I am on Diuretics and have to drink plenty of water

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.

Thanks for the warm welcome!  I laughed out loud at "Your Majesty...."  :blush:

 

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.....
