Welcome ... nice to see more folks near the I-10 portion of the state

[okie52]

Hey, everyone! I'm happy to be on this forum. I'm 35 and have lived in Oklahoma for 33 years (I spent a brief 2 in Louisiana). I've been golfing since I was a little kid and haven't played much in the last 8 years since my oldest son was born. I got back into regular playing this year. It has made me a happier husband, dad, and person. Golf is relaxing and fun for me, it always has been. I usually shoot the upper 70s to mid-80s (the 80s more than the 70s). I just reestablished my handicap at 5.2. I play out of Rose Creek Golf Course in Edmond.

I run an independent insurance agency. It is a great career for a golfer, flexible and a lot of clients and referral partners like to play. This has been getting me on the course 1-2x/week during the work week and then Saturday rounds with my two sons (8 and 6). I have to play early in the morning because it easily gets to 98 degrees and higher this time of year here.

I'm here to read more about products and see other people's experiences. I look forward to meeting new golfers. I recently upgraded to a set of Cobra Aerojet Irons, woods, hybrids, and driver. My 56 and 60 are Tommy Armour 945+CB and I'm still rocking my 12-year-old Odyssey Ice White 2ball. I also  do affiliate marketing for ShankItGolf and rock their products on and off the course.

Any Central Mississippi folks in this thread?

Good morning!

I have been playing golf for over 40 years, when I'm able to get out. I haven't really established a handicap, but I usually score in the 90's.

I love the challenge in golf and the SATISFACTION of that well hit shot/putt

I'm new to MyGolfSpy and don't really know anyone yet. I think I saw a post on FaceBook that got my attention, so I checked it out.

I'm from Cibolo, TX, near San Antonio. I don't really have a home course. I play all around, looking for the best deal.

Golf in my region is very firm course conditions and uneven grass growth.

I am a husband & father. I teach elementary music full-time and lead worship in my church paqrt-time.

My username is something I've used since college.

Oh yeah! What's in my bag? Old clubs, but they work for me: Ping G5 driver; Ping G2 irons, 3 & 5 woods; my father's Ram Brute sand wedge and a Scott Cameron putter

Another from San Antonio, hooray

Hello!

I do not have an official handicap, but I usually score in the 90's. I've been playing golf since I was 14, so 53 years.

I love the challenge of golf. And I especially love the satisfaction of a well hit shot.
