  1. How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I grew up golfing thanks to my dad who taught us early and got us involved with junior golf programs. Playing to a 6.4 handicap right now, but who knows where that's going to end up before winter hits!

  2. What do you love about golf? I would call it a love/hate, but I enjoy the competition against yourself and the course. I think golf is one of the more unique sports where you're trying to beat everyone else out there, but really you're trying to beat your expectations for yourself. I also love being able to get out there with good friends and root each other on and just enjoy being away from phones, TVs, computers, etc.

  3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I don't know any other spies, but I've followed the content for a while now. Really enjoy reading the reviews and the data that goes behind them because I'm also a golf nerd. 

  4. Where are you from? What is your home course? I'm from Pittsburgh and grew up playing a Gary Player designed course, Diamond Run. Now that I live in Dallas, I try to golf all over the DFW area. Stevens Park could be considered my "home course."

  5. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Best is definitely the weather and the ability to play year 'round. Coming from the northern half of the States, this is quite the welcome change. On the negative side, and something I really miss about golfing up north, is the lack of trees/elevation. You can get some of that here, but it's nothing like the golf in PA, OH, MI, WI, etc.

  6. What do you do for a living? Sales for a military broker. 

  7. How’d you pick your user name? This has been my gamertag, Twitter handle, etc. forever so why not keep it going.

New here. Didn't know Golfspy had a forum.

I always thought it was like a magazine, or a blog.

Golf WRX is a favorite of mine, because they are friendly and informative.

A couple of other sites won't welcome you unless you are part of their little group.

I have been playing golf around 25 years, a 14 handicap.

Western Arkansas area.

Thanks for letting me join.

Always chasing different clubs

I like Stevens.  Only played it once so far.  Rockwood is still my favorite.  Wide open, and views of a much superior city in my opinion 😂

Hey Everyone, 

Just recently joined up and am going thru the motions getting settled in here.  So....here we go

  1. How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score?  I've been around golf now for 30 years, but took a 20 year hiatus raising a family and doing what needed to be done with that.  Both my boys are now in College and thriving, so time to pick it back up and remember how to swing a club.  No handicap yet, working on it, but am shooting in the mid-20's right now (only been back at it for 3 months) but hoping for the teens. 

  2. What do you love about golf? The ability to just play against yourself, but also being able to meet new people out there when you get grouped up. 

  3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?  Was doing a lot of research on equipment and technical stuff and came across the site.  Seemed like a good place to land.  Haven't been here long enough to find any local spies, but I'm guessing they'll be showing themselves soon LOL

  4. Where are you from? What is your home course? Albuquerque NM / Arroyo del Oso

  5. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? 300+ days of golf / 65 days we can't play

  6. What do you do for a living? Accounting duties for a Machining / Tooling Distributor

  7. How’d you pick your user name? I am an active trumpet player of 45+ years and my favorite horn at the time was a Bach Stradivarius Model 43, and it was...yes Silver (still is actually), thus Silverhorn43

Looking forward to joining in and picking up tips and info from the long timers in here.  

Hope to see you roaming the fairways

Thanks Manimal26!  It's a God-Given talent I truly love.  It's similar to golf, once you think you got it figured out and your pretty good, she's a cruel mistress that will humble you like noob.

Hello Everyone,

I play at Lake Caroline Golf Club in Madison, Mississippi. I currently float a 10.7 GHIN and try to play at least three times a week and go to the range twice a week.  I would love to meet some fellow avid golfers in my area.

Enjoy the Birdies,

Dan

  1. How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score?  I have been playing golf since I was 7 years old.  My grandfather was into the game and worked for a local Junior College with its own golf course.  He would take me out on his days off to play with him.  I ended up having a successful golf career playing for that Junior College and then at a 4 year university.  My handicap right now is probably around 3.5ish.  Don't have an official handicap right now.

  2. What do you love about golf?  I love the values and character the game teaches.  You have to be honest with yourself and playing competitors.  No other sport allows you or forces you to call a penalty on yourself.

  3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? Finally ordered a new set from what I had in college.  Ran across the page and forums looking at reviews.  My new clubs are on the way and my setup is in my signature.

  4. Where are you from? What is your home course? Born and raised just south of Jackson, MS.  Now live just west of Jackson in Clinton, MS.  I play most of my golf at Eagle Ridge Golf Course in Raymond, and Live Oaks Golf Course in Clinton.

  5. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Best is the length of our season.  Worst is the amount of rainfall we can get at times.

  6. What do you do for a living? I work for a medical device manufacturer.

  7. How’d you pick your user name? It's what I always use.

  1. How long have you been playing golf? Playing Regularly about a year and a half now.

  2. What’s your handicap or normal score? I'm batting a highly mediocre 92 on Average. Been flirting with the 80's a lot recently. Hoping to break that barrier and stay there soon. 

  3. What do you love about golf? I love that you can play your way. The game allows you to play in your viewpoint and to your style. It's very individualistic. 

  4. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? The information is what drawas me here.

  5. Where are you from? What is your home course? Im PLaying out of Celin, Tx and i really dont have a home course but I spend a majority of my time at the Trails of Frisco. 

  6. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? The weather. Its great and it sucks but i wouldn't live anywhere else. Cold beer is good on the course at any time of year. 

  7. What do you do for a living? Im in sports medicine for high school athletics, i.e. an Athletic Trainer.

  8. How’d you pick your user name? It's what the kids call me!

Hey everyone!  I've been using MyGolfSpy for years for equipment suggestions/reviews (just to look at mostly), but am new to the forums.  I'm typically more of a lurker, but want to come out of hiding!

  1. I started "playing" when I was 12, but it was really just going to the range with my Dad and trying to hit golf balls every couple of weeks.  My first time on the course didn't come until I was 20!  I started trying to actually get better at the game within the last 2 years.  I usually shoot in the high 90s to low 100s at my local course.
  2. I just love getting out there and challenging myself to play better.  It's a great way to get outside, exercise,  and spend time with friends.  It's also a great way to test your mental fortitude. 
  3. I've been using MyGolfSpy for equipment reviews and product reviews for a long time now.  I don't have the disposable income to be constantly replacing my equipment, so I live vicariously through all of you!
  4. I live in Rockwall, TX and most frequently play at Buffalo Creek Golf Club.
  5. The best thing about golfing in Texas is that I can play all 12 months of the year!  The worst thing has to be the summer heat that makes afternoon rounds almost impossible for 2-3 months of the year.
  6. I work as an Engineer for a living.
  7. My username comes from an inside joke with my friends/family!  I've been using it for way longer than I've been golfing!

What’s your handicap or normal score?  I have been playing golf since I was 7 years old.  My grandfather was into the game and worked for a local Junior College with its own golf course.  He would take me out on his days off to play with him.  I ended up having a successful golf career playing for that Junior College and then at a 4 year university.  My handicap right now is probably around 3.5ish.  Don't have an official handicap right now.

  2. What do you love about golf?  I love the values and character the game teaches.  You have to be honest with yourself and playing competitors.  No other sport allows you or forces you to call a penalty on yourself.

  3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? Finally ordered a new set from what I had in college.  Ran across the page and forums looking at reviews.  My new clubs are on the way and my setup is in my signature.

  4. Where are you from? What is your home course? Born and raised just south of Jackson, MS.  Now live just west of Jackson in Clinton, MS.  I play most of my golf at Eagle Ridge Golf Course in Raymond, and Live Oaks Golf Course in Clinton.

  5. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Best is the length of our season.  Worst is the amount of rainfall we can get at times.

  6. What do you do for a living? I work for a medical device manufacturer.

  7. How’d you pick your user name? It's what I always use.

I ran down to play Eagle Ridge when LA courses were closed back during the shutdown. Over a two hour drive for me. 
Im always looking for somewhere to play around Jackson, so any recommendations are accepted! I’m over there for work quite often.

Which device company?

Hello fellas, Garland Texas here. I played a bit when I was a kid with my grandfather but never got the bug firmly planted. I played for a couple years back in the early 2000's for a year or so. I picked up the clubs again about 5 months ago and am more excited about golf than ever at 53. I've heard this is one of the best if not thee best golf forum on the net, I look forward to learning as much as I can from ya'll.

  1. How long have you been playing golf?   46 years, started when I was 11 after buying my first set from a neighbor's garage sale.

  2. What’s your handicap or normal score?    I can shoot mid 90's pretty consistently. However, I have been known to go into the high 80's on occasion during the heat of the season and also have a disaster and be over 100 a couple of times a month.

  3. What do you love about golf?    The reward of making a great shot and the fellowship with other golfers.

  4. What brings you to MyGolfSpy?   I have been reading Golf Spy articles for the last year online.

  5. Do you already know any other Spies?    Haven't met any that I know of, yet.

  6. Where are you from?    Dallas/Fort Worth area. My home is currently in Denton.

  7. What is your home course?     I would say this year it is a tie between Lake Park in Lewisville and  Robison Ranch in Denton, I have a club card at Tour 18 in Flower Mound. They were closed from July 1 to September 15 for renovation. In 2018 I played 20 rounds at Cowboys Golf Club from July till the end of September, a lot of rounds at Grapevine GC too. Then it started raining (flooding for over a month) and I had to have Skin Cancer Surgery. I took 2019 off because the Doc said I needed to stay out of the sun. I finally got back out this past May and it has been two to three times a week since. I like to play different courses each week and consider many in the area my home course. I have a Golf Pass membership as well as the VIP Blue Sky Card and the Tour 18 Card, use the Coupons and Specials as much as possible from iDeal Golfer and other websites.

  8. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?    Best is the amount of time you can play during the year because the weather is good. Worst is not enough courses to meet the demand.

  9. What do you do for a living?     Sales in the Commercial/Industrial Water Treatment Industry.

  10. How’d you pick your user name?    It's my long time email address moniker. It fits.

  1. How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I grew up golfing thanks to my dad who taught us early and got us involved with junior golf programs. Playing to a 6.4 handicap right now, but who knows where that's going to end up before winter hits!

  2. What do you love about golf? I would call it a love/hate, but I enjoy the competition against yourself and the course. I think golf is one of the more unique sports where you're trying to beat everyone else out there, but really you're trying to beat your expectations for yourself. I also love being able to get out there with good friends and root each other on and just enjoy being away from phones, TVs, computers, etc.

  3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I don't know any other spies, but I've followed the content for a while now. Really enjoy reading the reviews and the data that goes behind them because I'm also a golf nerd. 

  4. Where are you from? What is your home course? I'm from Pittsburgh and grew up playing a Gary Player designed course, Diamond Run. Now that I live in Dallas, I try to golf all over the DFW area. Stevens Park could be considered my "home course."

  5. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Best is definitely the weather and the ability to play year 'round. Coming from the northern half of the States, this is quite the welcome change. On the negative side, and something I really miss about golfing up north, is the lack of trees/elevation. You can get some of that here, but it's nothing like the golf in PA, OH, MI, WI, etc.

  6. What do you do for a living? Sales for a military broker. 

  7. How’d you pick your user name? This has been my gamertag, Twitter handle, etc. forever so why not keep it going. 

Plenty of decent courses around DFW. I play all over, don't like to limit only playing 1 course all of the time.
