Bluesman57 89 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Hey ForeGlass and Camcmart! If you happen to be in the Foster Park Golf Course neighborhood during the golf season, you might see me mowing greens or doing doughnuts in the rough on the zero turn! But *not* molding C4 into the shape of squirrels nor gophers. More's the pity. 4 Quote Semper ubi, sub ubi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B_R_A_D_Y 94 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 How long have you been playing golf? What's your handicap or normal score? I have been playing golf off and on for 43 years. I say off and on because I had to stop playing for 14 years due to knee pain. Received a new knee and played 6 times last year. I play local courses around Marietta, and right now am happy shooting 80. I do not have an established handicap, but hope to join a club this year. 2. What do you love about golf? I was in the PGA apprentice program when I was 21, but could not survive the off season financially. Started a club repair business I ran for a few years, before getting married and giving professional golf up to go back to school. I have always regretted leaving golf, so now that I can play again, I am working to further my certification as an instructor in hopes that I may volunteer for a HS or College golf program. I love that golf is basically “deal with it, get over it, and move on.” I love it so much, I want to teach others to enjoy it as well. 3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? Being away from golf for 14 years means I am way behind the tech of it all. Heck I have 30 yr old shag balls. I bought my Titleist 975 driver back in 1998. I gave away my Big Bertha irons from the same era, and restarted with a 30 yr old set of blades (now shorter than current norms, w/ dynamic gold shafts) heads from Louisville Golf (back when I repaired and assembled clubs). So I am here at MyGolfSpy to learn what is available and what I should now know. I have learned a lot over the past 6 months, and as soon as the weather and a vaccine hit my arm, I’m getting fitted for a new set ... plus an ARRCOS system! Unfortunately, no, I don’t know anyone here. 4. Where are you from? What's your home course? Marietta, Ohio. I play Oxbow which was the first course I ever played and my first job at a golf course. I also play Lake Side and occasionally Marietta Country Club. All local. 5. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Unfortunately all the courses I play have money issues so course quality is often poor ... no sand in traps, disease on greens, shabby fairways, etc. 6. What do you do for a living? I’m retired from computers, art, & publishing, and am looking to volunteer for any local school golf program. While I am a member of the USGTF and am certified by TPI, I do not pursue golf instruction. I had my chance ... let the younger instructors make a career from it. 7. How’d you pick your user name? It’s my name.. 4 Quote TSi3 #1-3-5 all with Tensi Blue S-flex 2019 Apex Pro black 3 & 4H Catalyst 70 or TSi3 #2-3 depending on how I’m playing.

the_rev_golfs 6 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Hey, everyone. I'm Jeremiah (Jer or JR for short). I'm from Grand Rapids, MI and I've been following MGS for a long time. I've worked in the golf biz for over 13 years (retail/e-commerce). Love the game, getting outside, and the toys that come with it. Just hate the long winters here in MI that keep us off the course. Looking to just dive deeper into the forum conversations and meet other golfers like me. 6 Quote Driver: Ping G425 Max Fairways: Ping G410 Plus 3w & 7w Hybrids: Mizuno CLK 22 & 25 Irons: Mizuno JPX919 HM Pro Wedges: Cleveland RTX Zipcore 50/54/58 Putter: EVNROLL ER2B Ball: MTB-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New to the forum and love seeing the enthusiasm for the game. 1. I've always had a set of clubs but I haven't played a whole lot until the last year or so. My handicap has come down quite significantly with the uptick in rounds played. Currently it sits right around 11. 2. I love golf because it gives me somewhere I can be competitive with myself. I was a swimmer in college and after I hung up the goggles I missed the high of competition. Golf has given me that once again and I can't stay away. 3. I stumbled across MyGolfSpy while looking for the new irons I purchased last year. It was immensely helpful and I am now a frequent reader. I do not know any other spies. 4. I am originally from Hawaii. Went to college in Wisconsin. Lived in Florida then Texas and now Southern Illinois. I would consider my home course is the home of the Saluki's, Hickory Ridge Golf Center. 5. Best part would be the value. The courses are well maintained and you get a good bang for your buck. The worst part is winter. 6. Currently, I teach people how to fly as a Certified Flight Instructor. I am working on building hours to someday fly professionally at an airline or at a charter jet company. 7. It's an easy go to with my name.

Rookie177 18 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I’ve played since I was a kid (29 now) became competitive in late high school and started playing junior tours before moving to low level collegiate golf. Around 21-22 I completely quit golf and just now started back up. Probably a 15-ish handicap at the moment but would like to get back to 2-3 where I played competitively. What do you love about golf? Golf is a sport that’s personally competitive. It’s easy to track your progress and play against yourself no matter what skill level you play at. Where are you from? What is your home course? I just joined the Urbana Country Club in Illinois, looking forward to making it my home course. What do you do for a living? I’m a human factors engineer. Basically, I design medical devices to prevent surgeons from making mistakes. I’m happy to join the forum, if anyone would like to meet up for a round, let me know! 4 Quote R9 | Oban Revenge '08 Burner 3-Wood CLK-Fli Hi MP-60 3-PW | KBS '09 Vokey 52, 56, 60 Studio Design 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodking11 14 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Hi, my name is Jarrod. How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I have been playing on and off for about 20 years. I had a long streak during college and after where I couldn't afford to play. Have gotten back into it over the past 3-4 years and have taught my wife how to play (still a work in progress and we now are getting her propper lessons). Handicap = 16 What do you love about golf? Everything except for getting behind a group of 4 slow players that won't let you pass. If I had to pick a favorite thing it would be playing with family and friends or just being outside enjoying a nice day. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I love golf and I love forums and equipment/tech so I've been a long time follower of MyGolfSpy so decided to finally join and introduce myself. I don't know any other spies. Where are you from? What is your home course? Cleveland, Ohio. Home course is Columbia Hills CC. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Best is that there are a lot of great courses in the area. Worst is that all the public courses are always so busy a round can take a long time. Thus why we joined a CC because pace of play is a lot better. What do you do for a living? Information Technology How’d you pick your user name?
