Bsimpson24 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I'm glad to be among other avid golfers! A little bit about myself... I am in Sales, so I naturally, I love to play golf. Any opportunity to get out on the course with a customer(s), I'll take it - it's the best way to get to know someone and see their demeaner under certain conditions. Also, it's a great opportunity to let the world slip away and allows me a nice metal break from the everyday stressors. I'm from Western New York and a recent graduate of the PGA Hope program (amazing program for military veterans by the way). Over the years I have been progressively chipping (pun intended) away at my handicap to achieve the title of Scratch Golfer - still got a ways to go. I was introduced to this forum from another fellow PGA Hope Graduate, was very interested, and thought I would join other fellow addicts. Here's what I've currently got in my bag: Driver: TaylorMade - R11s 4 Wood: Callaway - Big Bertha War Bird Irons: 4 - GW Mizuno Pro 223 w/ Dynamic Gold 105 Wedges: Lazrus 56 & Titleist Vokey 60 Putter: Ping Zing Blade Look forward to meeting everyone! -Rob JohnSmalls, GolfSpy_BEN, Christof and 2 others 5 Quote Driver: TaylorMade - R11s 4 Wood: Callaway - Big Bertha War Bird Irons: 4 - GW Mizuno Pro 223 w/ Dynamic Gold 105 Wedges: Lazrus 56* & Titleist Vokey 60* Putter: Ping Zing Blade Bag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then we are just going to have to get together and make that happen, no idea when but maybe there is another trip in the offing to visit my brother in Cary. YB was right to give that to me and on Tuesday had my longest drive with it to date at 191 yards, only 19 yards shorter than the First Strike Rattlesnake 10* driver went on its best day.

Best part for me is I finally have a MGSpy member I can actually play with locally instead of driving hours to get to a tee time. I think you will find if anything I understated what the Forum has to offer.
