Recommended Posts

  1. How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score?  I've been playing golf for 30 years;  started playing in college.  I am a 6 hdcp.

  2. What do you love about golf?  Love the challenge and ability to keep improving.  It's great to get outside and go for a long walk if you will.  

  3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?  I like reading the testing articles and listening to the podcast.  I am not aware of knowing other Spies.

  4. Where are you from? What is your home course?  I live in Dallas; I play at DAC.  2 Nicklaus courses - Great tracks.

  5. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? As others have said from North Texas, playing year round is great but dormant grass in the winter is not.  I'm ok with hot weather so that does not deter me.

  6. What do you do for a living?  Work for a software company.

  7. How’d you pick your user name?  It brings a fun persona on the golf course.

Hey guys! 
My name is Alisa and I’m from Austin Texas!

  1. How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? 
    I “played” golf here in there through my childhood. My dad and uncle would take me to the range from time to time  I didn’t get seriously into golf until my freshman year of high school and I haven’t been able to put the clubs down since! I’m currently a scratch golfer trying to make it on the LPGA!

  2. What do you love about golf? 
    I love everything about the game! The challenge of every shot. You don’t always have the same shot each time. It’s always different, always a surprise. The ability to be able to test my game each time I go out is so much fun.   

  3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? 
    I have heard about it through friends who play and told me to follow on Instagram. Since then I love reading up on the posts and getting other Spies input on things. 

  4. Where are you from? What is your home course?
    Born and raised in Austin Texas! My home course is Balcones Country Club where I teach as well. 

  5. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? 
    I love all the different courses in my region. Each course you play is different and allows you to work on different parts of your game. I just wish it didn’t get so hot in the summer!

  6. What do you do for a living? 
    I’m lucky enough to be around golf 24/7. I teach and play for a living!

  7. How’d you pick your user name? 
    I chose something super generic. I went with my first and last name with my favorite number 15! I grew up playing softball and it was my first love. I picked the number when I was 5 and wore it all the way though high school!

Hi folks. Since I can't play right now, looking to get my fix on sites like My Golf Spy.

  2. What do you love about golf? Perfect blend of strategy and athleticism. So many ways to play each and every hole.

  3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I love the site's golf ball and other equipment reviews.

  4. Where are you from? What is your home course? Originally from El Paso, live in San Antonio. Canyon Springs Golf Club.

  5. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? In the summer, the HEAT!

  6. What do you do for a living? Former journalist doing public affairs now.

  7. How’d you pick your user name? Descriptive of where I'm from.

Morning ladies and germs. I've been playing golf for around 6 years now with the last year practicing more to get better. Was shooting in the 100's, then moved to the 90's last year, this year I'm currently shooting low to mid 80's.

Golf is fun for the most part, I just like being outside.

It's another forum to chat about, not sure if I know anyone here yet.

Bentonville, Ar with the home course being Lost Springs GAC in Rogers.

Best things about it are the number of courses around the NorthWest Arkansas area of varying difficulties and price ranges. Worst things would be the private clubs I can't afford to be a member at LOL.

I work in the medical field, username was something that I was called as a teenager.

  1. How long have you been playing golf? about 19 years, starting in my 40s.  What’s your handicap or normal score?   High 70s to Mid 80s, my index is 10.1 though recent detached retina surgery has hurt my game some so unfortunately I'm on an upward trend.

  2. What do you love about golf?  There's always something to work on (I'm a range rat.)  I can still enjoy the game even with bad knees and shoulders.  It gets me outside.

  3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Unbiased reviews, by far the best on the internet that I've found.  Do you already know any other Spies?  I don't.

  4. Where are you from? I'm from the Inter-mountain west, then Buffalo NY and now in the Fort Collins Colorado area.  What is your home course?  Southridge, a Fort Collins municipal, just because my company's league plays there (I mostly love to play and discover many different courses.)

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

    1. Best: There are many courses, Colorado golfers are very friendly, I get extra distance from my swing because of the altitude and dry air, there are very few rainy days, and I can usually play all year.

    2. Worst: It can be difficult to get tee times, it's a bit more expensive than Buffalo, and it can be pretty windy at times.

  6. What do you do for a living?  Embedded software engineering.

  7. How’d you pick your user name?  When I started playing back in the early 2000s, I was told playing anything less than 18 holes at once meant you weren't a real golfer so I took on the mantra of "Golf for the Masses" to advocate an attitude of being very passionate about golf even if I can't spend near five hours playing every round.

Golf is a game of life, we plan aim and swing our shot. it works out sometimes and no so much other times. Golf is a new sport to me and can't get enough of it. 

 

  1. How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score?  3 years and currently a 14 handicap

  2. What do you love about golf? being outdoors and challenging myself

  3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I know zero other spies but follow the group on IG and its website of black and white info

  4. Where are you from? What is your home course? Dallas area and I play a public course here, Indian Creek. 

  5. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Best thing, there's tons of courses. worst thing, everyone rides. I wish more people would walk. I enjoy the small talk between shots and holes while we walk

  6. What do you do for a living? I do IT, Network Analyst, and have tried to merge both my career and hobby together. Plans are to try and get on board with the PGA of America when they move to the area in 2022.

Agreed many of the courses in DFW are riding courses, but more are opening up to walking, and there are several great walkable muni's in the area.

  1. How long have you been playing golf? Started when I was 34. 
    What’s your handicap or normal score? Index is 6

  2. What do you love about golf? I love how difficult it can be even when I think I have something figured out. I like how you get to see really cool layouts when you are playing a new course. Throw in some wildlife and a few beers and I’m happy. 

  3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? I originally was looking at reviews and then I was offering my own feedback about places to play, gear, and maybe even an opinion.  
    Do you already know any other Spies? No. 

  4. Where are you from? Tulsa, Oklahoma.  
    What is your home course? Tulsa Country Club

  5. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? The best thing about eastern Oklahoma is you can really play year around. We have pretty interesting terrain here. Unlike the other side of the state that is a little flatter and has smaller trees. 

  6. What do you do for a living? I’m the VP of a technology company.

  7. How’d you pick your user name? I played football up until and a short stint into college. Grew up in Texas as Cowboys fan and now that I’m in Oklahoma,I’m an Ok State Cowboys fan. My old number was 14.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Conner and I've been playing golf for 25 years if you count hitting balls in my grandparents pasture when I was 3 🙂. If we count it as actually hitting the course I've been playing for 20 years. My handicap hovers around 10 +/- 1. My love for golf comes from the wonderful memories I've collected throughout the years with family and friends, and the constant pursuit of getting better. I love the feeling of flushing an iron, and i also get some sort of weird satisfaction from a bladed tee-shot that somehow still roles onto a par 3 green. As I'm sure most here know playing golf is a relationship with ups and downs, but it always keeps you coming back.

I'm originally from Canyon, TX, a small town south of Amarillo. I now live in Fort Worth, TX, which for golf is quite an improvement. I mean, I still look fondly on the days we played in 30 mph winds, and if you dare try and take a divot you risk shattering your wrists, but the courses in Fort Worth are just a bit more forgiving. My current home course is Oeste Ranch just West of Fort Worth. The best thing about golf in North Texas is the multitude of courses and opportunities to get out and play, and the worst is probably how tight the fariways get cut in the summer.

I currently do not know any Spies.

I'm a project manager for a general contractor and my user name was really picked for me. My brother set up my email when I was young and it's stuck ever since.

I look forward to being a part of the Spy community!

  1. How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? 22 Years.  About an 8.  Typically High 70s to low 80s

  2. What do you love about golf? The strive to always improve.  Being outdoors, spending time with friends and family.  That well struck shot that you think about for days until you get back out there.  

  3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? Been reading and using info for a year or two now.  Finally taking the leap.  I know no others active in the forum.

  4. Where are you from? What is your home course? Dallas region.  Rusted Rail Crandall. 

  5. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Multiple great course nearby.  Probably only downside is it's pretty flat, so some course are uninspiring.  

  6. What do you do for a living? Account Manager  

  7. How’d you pick your user name? Name and birth year

Haha, flat is an understatement on some of the courses around here. I don't know if you've tried Fossil Creek over in Ft. Worth but it's got a little topography, or Canyon West if your willing to go out past Weatherford!

Welcome!

So many good public options.  Fossil has some good holes but I'm not a fan of the course since it goes through a neighborhood and is walking only.  Rockwood is my favorite in Ft Worth, but Squaw Creek out west, Whitestone in Benbrook, Hawks Creek and Fort Worth.  On the Dallas side, Stevens Park is great, Irving GC is decent + tons of other great options!

I also grew up in Amarillo, and definitely more topography here!

I love Sqauw, it's only a couple miles from my house. I also grew up in the Panhandle, in Canyon. What was your home course when you were there, we were members at palo duro and Canyon CC?
