Been playing golf for about 15 years off and on. Never played to seriously and this will be my first full season back after a 5 year hiatus. Home course this year is still up in the air most likely Highlander or Three Lakes. Always happy to play with new people since I mostly play as a single. Hello, hope you like Wenatchee. I end up there quite often. I'll add you to the chain for the golf outing, looking more and more like Bend in late April or early May.

Reesedw 2,449 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Welcome. I play in the Wenatchee area alot also.. regarding your two course choices, If I may, by the players card at which course you choose. They both have them.. me and the misses get ours for Highlander. I like the course, it's almost always in great shape the staff is incredible. And it has amazing views. Play both before deciding. . And again welcome to our site.

chipyips 4 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) John here. I live in Seattle. I wish I could play more than I do, but if I can get out every other month I'm lucky...2 year old daughter keeps me busy. Most of the times I get to play are on trips we take...Hawaii, Bend, Carmel Valley, etc. I like to get out and play golf for the challenge. It is just me and the course. I am my own enemy most of the time. I like to hang out on the MGS site to see in depth testing and recommendations on equipment. I don't upgrade a lot, but when I do I like to be informed.

Vspin1 14 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Been playing golf almost 50 years. My index or whatever they call it now is 16.3, I have been as low as a 9 B.K. (before kids). MyGolfSpy popped up on facebook one day so I hit the story and followed it here. Do I know any Golf Spies, not sure but I'm guessing I might. I live in Richland, Wa. and play most of my golf at Sun Willows in Pasco. Best thing about golf around here is the weather. The worst? I don't know what happened but 5 years ago you could go out at 3 or 4 PM and not have to worry about pace of play or easily getting 27 or more holes in. Its getting tough to do now. I work at a nuclear clean up site for now but I think I'll be probably be playing a lot more golf by spring of 21 if not sooner;) My nickname is just a play off an old nickname I've had for a long time. 1 Quote Driver-Ping G400 9° S shaft 3-wood-Ping G400 SFT 16° S shaft 5-wood-Ping TISI Tec 17° S shaft 5-SW Ping G400 Black R shaft W2 Ping Nickel ISI 49.5° Odyssey 2ball LH Link to post Share on other sites

Well welcome neighbor!!! I retired in 2015 and play at Columbia Point. It's been about a year since I played Sun Willows... I should do it more as I get 1/2 off there with my CP membership. Let's get together for a round one of these days. My wife plays too, so you would have to bring a friend.

My wife was still working until this year, and she only got to play 18 holes on the weekend, so I play with her. I play a few other times during the week, but mostly practice.

Tysonova 37 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Good evening. I'm 38 and I've been playing golf for as long as I can remember. Started hitting whiffle balls in the back yard and never stopped. What I love most is the smell of a golf course on a late summer afternoon and the feeling of striping a long iron. I don't believe I know any other Spies. No Putts Given is what brought me here. I'm hooked. I live in Oregon City and belong to Willamette Valley Country Club. We have reciprocal at Rainier and Sandpoint in Seattle, I would love to find a couple people to play with when I travel up that way for business. The best thing about golf in Oregon is absolutely the summers. I've played golf all over the country, nothing compares. I own a packaging supply company and I'm willing to trade rounds of golf at my club for anyone who wants to buy boxes, tape, stretch wrap or any other packaging supplies. No shame here, small business is hard, I'll take it anyway I can get it! My wife used to call me casanova when I'd put on the moves and eventually it turned into Tysonova (my first name is Tyson). Excited to meet some of you! Edited February 16, 2020 by Tysonova 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Especially in the summer, our greens at WVCC are pretty good. The biggest thing is they're all fair. Clubs like Waverly and Portland have great greens, but they're still original designs from back when a 7 on the meter was fast. At 11 or 12 they're almost unplayable at times. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
