How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score?

Been playing since 14 but was also playing baseball from then until 30 so golf was always backseat maybe played 4 to fives times a year plus a couple of scrambles for the last 4 years I have been grinding down from 15 to 5 normal score is probably 75

What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?

Seasons would be the worst part of golf in the region I love firm fairways and greens and it hard to get that in Ohio. My dad put in a HD Golf simulator 2 years ago so I have not gone more than 2 weeks without swinging since then.

1. I've been playing golf for about 15 years, although didn't play much throughout my twenties due to being a poor student. My handicap is currently 3.4 and my goal is scratch

2. I love being out in nature, hanging out with buddies, and enjoying the beautiful weather. I also love being competitive against myself and pushing myself to get better.

3. I saw a bunch of their reviews online on my road to becoming a better golfer and the more I dug into it, the more I love this website! My friends are all aware of it but I'm the only contributing member in my group. 

4. I'm from Hamilton, Ontario Canada. We currently have a membership at Mystic Golf Course near my house which is fun course with a lot of unique holes. I love that it makes you hit every club in your bag. 

5. The best thing is the Spring excitement and getting out for your first rounds of the year with the whole summer to look forward to. The worst is seeing the season come to an end and knowing you won't be able to play for 4-5 months. 

6. I was a GM but currently between roles. 

7. This was my username in University and so I've adopted it full time. 

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hi All!

Been playing since the pandemic, so about 4 years now. My scores are terrible, but my handicap improves every year. Working to be consistently at 90.

What do you love about golf? Competition against friends and myself. Get to be outside. Love it.

What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I need advice, and I always come here first. 

Where are you from? What is your home course? Michigan and Minnesota. Anywhere cheap or last minute tee times. Not retired yet so still got to fit golf in between kids, work, and wife. 

What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? It closed for half the year! We get real grass driving ranges, and there are domes and simulators for the winter. 

What do you do for a living? Corporate drone

How’d you pick your user name? Pizza, baby.

-Golf. Ski. Pizza. Family.
