Hello! Brand new to the site, found it while looking for reviews/discussion about various launch monitors, which I am debating purchasing.

My info:

1. How long have you been playing golf? Since March 1979, a college PE class What’s your handicap or normal score? I'm a 21.6, break 100 most of the time, 90 every once in a while

2. What do you love about golf? Getting out of the house for a while, clearing my mind, the challenge of getting the ball to go where I want. I'm just as happy hitting balls on the range as playing a round, but at some point I need to take the range work out for a test drive.

3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? See above. Do you already know any other Spies? No

4. Where are you from? Wilmington, NC, now, have lived in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas previously. What is your home course? Not sure I really have a home course, as I bounce around courses in the area, but the course I play most frequently is the NC State University course in Raleigh, as I'm up here for business 2-3 times per month.

5. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Plenty of choices, many of them overpriced. That's why I play more at NCSU; a nice course at a reasonable price and I'm here anyway.

6. What do you do for a living? I'm a PA in medical research. Before switching to medicine 28 years ago, I was a journalist, so any perceived ability to write comes from that.

7. How’d you pick your user name? ILM is the airport code for Wilmington, and the rest is self explanatory.

Hey FNG here name is Roosevelt (yes like the president)

Probably have been playing golf around 8-10yrs off and on. Normally shoot in the 80s. Currently working on handicap now.

Love golf cause it gets you outdoors. Its also the one sport where its all about the individual and no matter how well you play you can always improve. 

I got here because my friend Sam has been ranting and raving about the group and we play golf together via his garage sim and on course so i thought id give it a try. 

From Huntsville Alabama and home course is Hampton Cove (RTJ course)

Hmm - lets start with the worst - Expensive Hobby. From equipment to tee times to lessons etc. 

The best thing about golf is its universal. Played everywhere and is primarily an outdoor sport. Love the challenge and love being able to get out there and shoot the crap with the boys. 

Currently working in Federal DoD IT space as a supervisor

Haha just first initial and last name. Simple

How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I've been playing golf since 2002 or 2003 when I got my first set of clubs. Worked at a high-end private course for a few years in high school and got to play every single Monday and got my handicap down to a 9. I put down the clubs for a long time through college and grad school but have picked them up the last few years and played more and more often. Usually shoot in the high eighties.

What do you love about golf? I love the few times each round I hit the ball really well and surprise myself. Really hoping to improve my consistency in 2024. Best part of the game hands down is playing with other folks and spending time outside.

What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I don't know any other Spies, but I regularly read the product reviews on the website and dive into the forums when I'm trying to look for feedback from someone who has my "game" LOL.

Where are you from? What is your home course? Grew up in Dalton, GA and moved to Atlanta for about 10 years. Recently moved to Calhoun, GA. Fields Ferry would be my "home" course.

What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? I can't nitpick with the golf around here (NWGA). Lots of great clubs at great price points. Not a ton of private courses. Weather here is decent except for about 45 days year-rou

What do you do for a living? I work for a commercial real estate investment fund.

How’d you pick your user name? Based on my first email address that I still have to this day.

Welcome aboard @eppslogan4! I'm right between the two of you in Cleveland. I haven't played Fields Ferry, but have been down to Indian Trace and played with a buddy a few times. Been meaning to get over there and probably will someone soon.

Thanks! Fields Ferry is a great little course, but tough to beat Indian Trace on value (and it's much closer to you)! I used to play in the Tuesday two-man scramble almost every week when I was in high school and early in college. Loved it!

How long have you been playing golf? I started playing about a year ago. I played pretty regularly for about five months before I had to deploy.

What’s your handicap or normal score? I have played a total of 12 rounds that I actually kept score of and my handicap is a 25

What do you love about golf? It's very humbling. I normally acquire new skills pretty easily, but golf has presented me with a challenge like I have not experienced previously.

What brings you to MyGolfSpy? I'm not sure how I found MGS, I think I was looking for reviews on clubs or some other type of Golf gear.

Do you already know any other Spies? No

Where are you from? I was born and raised in Texas, but haven't lived there in 19 years. I currently live in Fayetteville, NC

What is your home course? Stryker Golf Course is where I have played the most rounds, followed by Ryder

What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? The worst has to be the heat in the Summer, it's an ass kicked especially if you like to walk like I do. The best thing about golf would be the amount of talented people in the area that are willing to help you become a better player. We also have some of the best golf courses in the country at Pinehurst.

What do you do for a living? Military

Thank you for your service. 

[ronnieg]

How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I played in High School and got a full ride to Bethel University to play golf(small D3 school). Dropped out due to being a dumb kid and pretty much stopped playing golf for almost a decade. Started playing again this year and fell back in love. Started upgrading my old sticks and MyGolfSpy was instrumental in my decisions. I'm down to a 4-5 hcp in 6 months and hoping to get back to my college scratch status eventually. 

 

What do you love about golf? Always trying to improve. You can never be perfect and there is always a route to getting better. Nothing beats when you can see the results of hard work on the course. 

 

What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? Like I said above, MyGolfSpy was so helpful as I've been trying to slowly upgrade my equipment from what i was using 10+ years ago in college. I've only bought pre-owned and seeing the past reviews and threads on clubs have been crucial to my bag now. I do not know any Spies but would love to meet some new golf friends. I've been out of the game a long time and have none now!

 

Where are you from? What is your home course? I am from Jackson, TN. My home course is Woodland Hills

 

What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? The best thing is that we have 4 defined seasons where you really need a different skillset in each season to be successful. It's a challenge and tests your ability to adapt.

Worst is that it isn't ideal golf conditions year round!(yes i know that contradicts my best thing lol)

 

What do you do for a living? I am a supervisor at a factory that makes different paper and film products. 

 

How’d you pick your user name? It's just based simply on my real name.

[THE GOLF GUY]

Hi my name is Guy and interested in this “Southeast region “ forum!
#1

I have been playing golf off and on for about 30 years (Age 63) but I retired a few years ago and am now playing my best golf . I just renewed my GHIN recently and it’s at 10.9 but it is probably going to be a few strokes lower when all my recent scores are adjusted next . At the moment I have been shooting anywhere from 73 -82 and slowly improving as well.

#2

I love golf because you can never master it and also it mimics and relates to life more than we realize .

#3

I signed up last year but really haven’t gotten involved like I wanted until just recently and I hope to maybe learn , chat and possibly make some friends in the process maybe.I stumbled upon it by chance really . I was searching for some information about a particular subject and this site showed up and I was really interested in the unbiased facts about clubs and so forth .

#4

I currently live in Social Circle, Georgia. My home course is Providence in Monroe , Georgia and I also work as a starter on Thursday there .

#5

One of the best things about Georgia is that you can play golf year round for the most part . The middle of the summer can be brutally hot and taxing on you if you aren’t used to it or prepared for it .

#6

I am retired from Norfolk Southern Railway as a locomotive engineer with 34 years of service .

Hi Guy,

Welcome to the group.  I live in Lawrenceville and Providence is one of the courses our group plays among others in the area.   As we normally play on Thursdays. So, I'll see of you're working the next time we're there.  We are playing at UGA this week and I'm looking forward to it.

All the best,

I’ve been playing on and off for 40 years. Retired last year so trying to get more into golf. Handicap of 14. Love reading equipment reviews and watching the podcast. Central Kentucky,so lots of opportunities to play most of the year. Try to get to the range a couple times a week and work on things. Hopefully I’ll get to be a tester someday!

How long have you been playing golf? Since I graduated college in 1988 but seriously only for the last 12-15 years.

What’s your handicap or normal score? Current handicap is 8.3 and I am happy to be trending in the right direction. On a good day I will shoot 75 and on a bad day in the mid eighties.

What do you love about golf? I love continually trying to improve my game.  I am fortunatele to be able to play about 130 rounds a year now and the guys I usually play with are very low handicappers so I am always striving to improve.

What brings you to MyGolfSpy? I love data so have read Mark Brodie's book "Every Shot Counts" and I am a huge proponent of Arccos so I can gather strokes gained information and hone the various aspects of my game.

Do you already know any other Spies? Not outside of the forum.

Where are you from? Currently living about 30 minutes north of Charlotte, NC 

What is your home course? River Run Country Club at Davidson.

What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? The best things are that (1) it’s year round golf even though it gets into the 30s in the winter and 100s in the summer, and (2) I enjoy the people I play with each week. I will play in any weather condition except a driving rain.   Worst thing about golf is that sometimes there is a driving rain.

Hello Guy,

I live not too far from you in Watkinsville. Welcome to the Forum.

[BigMacQue]

I just realized I'd never intro'd myself ..... my bad.
 

How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score?
My handicap hovers around 20.  I can get a good round into the high 80's and I've had some recent doozy's that topped 100, but typically I stay in the 90's.

What do you love about golf?
Seriously, everything. I like that it's really a one man game, even when in a scramble or on a team. I like being outdoors.  I like hitting pure shots.  I like the companionship and camaraderie.  I like the physical exercise, the ability to stay pretty good at an athletic sport.

What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?
I know of none, but was tipped off to this site by an old friend.  His son was on staff at one time.

Where are you from? What is your home course?
We live in West Central Florida, if you look up the Weeki Wachee mermaids our house is about five or six miles from there.  I play regularly at Hernando Oaks, because that's my grandson's high school golf teams home course.

What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?
Best: choices, choices, choices.  So many courses and different courses, from easier ones to championship courses.  Worst: everybody and his brother comes to Florida to play golf.  There are times when getting a tee time is tough and the course is pretty crowded.

What do you do for a living?
Retired.  Started a career in health care in 1981, moved from Food Service Management into IS/IT and then an administrative role.  For the last 22 years I was a principal owner of a company that specialized in senior living / senior care.

How’d you pick your user name?
It was given to me, in 1976, when I arrived at my first active duty station in the Air Force.

Seriously, everything. I like that it's really a one man game, even when in a scramble or on a team. I like being outdoors.  I like hitting pure shots.  I like the companionship and camaraderie.  I like the physical exercise, the ability to stay pretty good at an athletic sport.
What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?
I know of none, but was tipped off to this site by an old friend.  His son was on staff at one time.
Where are you from? What is your home course?
We live in West Central Florida, if you look up the Weeki Wachee mermaids our house is about five or six miles from there.  I play regularly at Hernando Oaks, because that's my grandson's high school golf teams home course.
What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?
Best: choices, choices, choices.  So many courses and different courses, from easier ones to championship courses.  Worst: everybody and his brother comes to Florida to play golf.  There are times when getting a tee time is tough and the course is pretty crowded.
What do you do for a living?
Retired.  Started a career in health care in 1981, moved from Food Service Management into IS/IT and then an administrative role.  For the last 22 years I was a principal owner of a company that specialized in senior living / senior care.
How’d you pick your user name?
It was given to me, in 1976, when I arrived at my first active duty station in the Air Force.

Welcome and enjoy!
