Live in Austin, usually play at Grey Rock the most simply because it’s right by my house. Have a 4 month old  though so less actually playing these days unfortunately.

Would love to connect with other Austin folks for some rounds in the future. 

Welcome!!! I miss having Austin in my territory at work because I love to golf there! You can always create a thread to let folks know you’re looking for others to join a round, so don’t be shy. Glad to have you here.

I've actually been to Edmond, OK!!  Visited a clinic learning the Moe Norman single plane swing at Graves Golf Academy who now teaches out of Rose Creek GC.  It straightened out my slice, but I moved on from the SPS maybe 10-12 years ago.

Good Morrow Gents and happy to be here!  My golf journey has received a new lease on life.  New job with a better quality of life is giving me to opportunity to play weekly as opposed to semi-annually 😅.  Somewhat of an athetic background, but work has diminished my fitness for 10+ years now.  Been playing for 20 years+, since the teens, but haven't gotten much better stroke-wise (+22 Handicap).  Looking forward to starting over and getting better quickly.  Here are my answers to the formal quesitons:

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

       20 years // 22 Handicap

  1. What do you love about golf?

       The ability to get outside.  The challenge.  The (1) shot that keeps you coming back for more!

  1. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?

      The club reviews are very insightful.  I have an irregular swing, so the more detail the better for making the best decision for me.

  1. Where are you from? What is your home course?

      South Texas.  Champion Lakes (formally Palm View) Municipal Golf Course

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

       The South Texas heat is brutal.  Hence, the local courses are not well maintained.  The culture down here is not geared to golf as much, so it’s difficult to find well priced local equipment.  Competent coaching is hard to come by as well.   

  1. What do you do for a living?

      Civil Engineer

  1. How’d you pick your user name?

      I got into a car accident with my brother when I was younger.

😁 In my book, Mr. Jim Furyk is the GOAT! 😁

         What do you love about golf? Everything but the sunburn  
         
         What brings you to MyGolfSpy? I heard about it on I think MrShortGame’s channel maybe but it was on youtube. 

 

         Do you already know any other Spies?  No

         Where are you from? What is your home course? Sulphur La   Frasch GC

        What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Warm Winters , Hot Humid Horrible Summers

        What do you do for a living? Work for an area Casino

I've been on MGS for awhile now, but recently moved from Oregon to Arkansas, so I thought I'd post my info here.....

 

  1. How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? Started playing at the end of my military career at the age of 38, so it's been a bit over 32 years.  Typically shoot in the low 80s and upper 70s with a current index of 7ish.

  2. What do you love about golf? It's a great way to socialize.  It's a constant effort to do well and to improve.

  3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? Been here awhile already.

  4. Where are you from? What is your home course? Originally from Fort Walton Beach, Florida, then a lot of time in Charleston, SC during my military career.  After retiring from the Navy, I lived in CO, MT, ND, and most recently 20 years in Medford, OR.  I am now residing in Hot Springs Village, AR (Dec 21).  Home course is Diamante Golf Club.

  5. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Too early in my time here to make that call.

  6. What do you do for a living? Retired from US Submarine Service in 1990.  Worked as Financial Advisor and stock broker post military, but retired fully now.

  7. How’d you pick your user name? It's my name.

Played a couple of the courses in the Village YEARS ago! So nice!!!

  1. How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? Started when I was 10 and played for about 5 years, baseball took over my free time after that. Started playing again in my mid 20’s but career got in the way. 37 now and really started playing until 2 months ago, our first child was born. Hopefully when he grows up a little I’ll have time to play more consistently and finally get my handicap below 10.

  2. What do you love about golf? Love being outdoors and seeing the way courses are maintained. It’s also been a way to do something with my brothers and mother to help us do something outside and athletic.

  3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? Reviews brought me, I don’t know any other spies to be honest.

  4. Where are you from? What is your home course? I live in Tomball, northern suburb of Houston, TX. Home course is Gleannloch Pines, played it every weekend for a while now it’s once a week if I’m lucky.

  5. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Best part is that it’s rarely too cold to not play. Worst part is summer, especially this year, can be unbearable and make it really hard to enjoy a round.

  6. What do you do for a living? IT Manager, but I will starting my mba next year to move into the business world.

  7. How’d you pick your user name? It’s my name.

  1. How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I’ve had clubs since I was 10, but never seriously played. I gave up the game when I was 35. I just had my second kid and couldn’t justify spending time on the course while my wife was home with the kids. Also, I had unreasonable expectations about how I should play and didn’t really have anyone to play with. I recently came back to golf. My 9 year old has been involved in First Tee and he said he wanted me to play with him, so I bought some used irons and have been working my way back.

  2. What do you love about golf? The mental challenge of dealing with adversity and spending time with my son on the course.

  3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? The best information.

  4. Where are you from? What is your home course? Aledo, Texas. I’ve only played two rounds since my return, so I don’t know that I have a home course. Yet.

  5. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? The climate. It is possible to play year round. But, it’s hot as hell in the summer and in year like this year (2022), with little rain, the course is less than pristine shape.

  6. What do you do for a living? Lawyer representing one of the largest counties in Texas in civil litigation.

  7. How’d you pick your user name? Prodigal - coming back from hiatus; duffer - seems self-explanatory

My name is robert Alessi, I currently live in the New Orleans LA area but moved from NYC. 
I must admit I miss elevations and undulations but with that said I’ve enjoyed the lengthy seasons here in the south and the low cost of play and practice. 
I believe the best deal around is Bayou Oaks with their 2 courses and unlimited range for 200 a month. The north is really nothing great but the South is an immaculately kept, slightly challenging but long course. 

Below are some hole vlogs from hole 2 and 4. Enjoy and please don’t bash the swing too hard 😉

  1. How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score?
    Been playing since 7 a short 33 years ago...

    There is no one else to blame but yourself and if you do, you still are blaming yourself.

  3. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?
    New to the community, and really don't know anyone else but I have been told I bite a time or 2?

  4. Where are you from? What is your home course?
    I am in the North Texas area so no real 'home course' as there are plenty around me in the area.

  5. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?
    Best is I can play during the winter for the most part, Worst would be the heat in the summers

  6. What do you do for a living?
    Pre-Sales Solution Architect for a software company.  Developer for a trading algorithm for the stock market and daytrader from time to time.

  7. How’d you pick your user name?
    No creativity, its me.

If it goes right, it's a slice.  If it goes left, it's a hook.  If it goes straight... who am I kidding, it never goes straight!
