1. For about 2 years now and my handicap is pretty high at the moment.  

2. I love the social aspect of it and the ability to see the outdoors. 

3. I am a system engineer by trade so I like to look at all the data. It helps when I know the data is unbias. Admittantly I started out as most do in this game buying whatever is new and shiny and whatever the pro's are using. Finding MyGolfSpy has already helped me out alot and I love listening to their podcasts.

4. I am from MD and my home course is Compass Pointe

5. The searsons. I wish I could play golf year around and sure while I could travel I would much rather be able to play golf year around in my home state. 

6. I am a System Engineer so I try to provide technical solutions to those who need help. 

Welcome! We head down to Compasse Point each yea4 and play a round with Spies! Nice track! Welcome to MGS!

1. I've been playing golf since the 8th grade.  Right now I'm around a 15 handicap.  I haven't been playing enough the past 4/5 years to register a real number.  This year is my goal to get back to being a single digit.  

2. I love being able to get away from life when I'm on the golf course.  Even just on the range it is my stress reliever. 

3. Heard about the site from a PGA Instructor.  

4. Orginally from Michigan, now in Northern Virginia.  Play many courses but mostly Westfields Golf Club.

5. Best is lots of options.  Worst is most are on the more expensive side of price per round. 

6. Attorney

7. User name is my name!

Monmouth County, NJ based, play all the county based courses, plus a few of the local country clubs. Willing to travel. Retired NYPD playing to a 12-14 handicap. No fear of a cold beer. Love the random aspects of golf. I play several times a month and often as a single. I get to meet lots of new folks that way.

Playing TaylorMade irons and woods but I'm looking to upgrade soon. Currently, Demoing the Sub70 driver and 3-wood. Pretty sure, they are keepers! In fact so impressed, I''ll probably try the irons next. Wouldn't have heard of these guys, but for MGS so THANKS! I'll post a review, in the future.

Sorrry. It's been a bit crazy the past week.  Just catching up on this thread.  

Indeed I am there.  Well not right now as Ben is probably aware, we are shut down.   

When we are back open stop by Ben, I'm in the sales office.   

John. We need to get you down sometime soon again.

I was hoping to come down this spring before baby #2 came. Doesn't look likely now but damn it I'm going to make it happen eventually

Newer to the sport because I am just about to graduate from college (online now thanks to coronavirus).  I played a different sport at school so I am new to golf, but still shooting I  the mid 80s consistently. My goal is to break 80 by the end of this summer and to invest some in my game instead of only using hand-me-downs.  I love the mental aspect of golf and how it’s not as much of a physical strain as the sports I’ve played my whole life.  I’m from upstate NY and can’t wait to commit to this game which I have grown to love in such a short amount of time!

1. Have been playing since high school.  According to the Golf Association of Philadelphia (GAP) I have an index of 6.6.  However, I am 68 years old and play from the forward tees on walkable courses.

2. I grew up as an "only child" (both my siblings were much older), so I love the individuality of it.  Never excelled at team sports.

3. I like the honest reviews and that they include a "best value" category.  That's important for those of us on fixed income.

4. I grew up in southeast Nebraska.  My first rounds of golf were played on a municipal course with sand greens.  Now I live in Mechanicsburg PA and my home course is Armitage Golf Club.

5. The best things are that there are a lot of golf courses within a 30 mile drive of my house.  The bad thing is that, in the past 5 years, we have lost 3 really great courses.  Seems the allure of real estate development wins out over golf.

6. Retired

7. I'm a Pennsylvania golfer.

Been playing golf for 7 years now after I stopped playing baseball. My handicap is a 13 and my goal is to get to single digit this summer!

I love golf is a game that can be played by anyone and is so inclusive. You can travel and see beautiful parts of the world and play some incredible tracks. Rounds can be competitive or laid back and there’s no other sport like it!

I’ve always read MyGolfSpy and enjoyed their non-bias content. I do not know any other Spies but would love to get to know some in the future.

From Northern NJ, my home courses are the Bergen County Courses. Handicap is out of Valley Brook Golf Course.

Best thing about my region is there are some of the best golf courses in the world within a 50mi radius of NYC. Worst thing is the cost to play these great public courses and how expensive it is to join a private club.

Currently in Supply Chain/Logistic Sales
