New to the forums myself. Joined a couple weeks ago. 
slow play is my pet peeve. 
originally from Michigan, grew up playing hockey, so when I started playing golf 11 years ago at 24 when I joined the Air Force it came naturally to me. 
In that 11 years I reached the level of scratch. 
I now live in Missouri, my home course is Bent Creek GC. 
I’m an interventional radiology technologist, which means I run wires in and out of people to keep ‘em alive. 
My setup:

 Driver: Callaway Rogue ST Max LS, Aldila Rogue white 70X shaft, tipped 0.75”

2 Hybrid: Callaway rogue pro, Aldila NV 85X shaft

 Irons: Mizuno 221 3i-PW, Dynamic Gold X7 shafts 

GW & SW: Mizuno T22, 50 degree & 54 degree, Dynamic Gold S400 shafts

 LW: Taylormade Hi-Toe 60 degree, Dynamic Gold S400

 Putter: Odyssey White Hot OG 2 Ball

 Ball: Vice pro plus

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

    I have been playing for about 3yrs going on 4 now. handicap is 11.3 currently on 18 birdies (don't keep an official one since I don't play tournaments) but shoot typically mid to high 80s

2. What do you love about golf?

    I love playing a game that is completely different every time you go out even if you play the same course. Also just being outside helps!

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

     I stumbled on the site looking for driver reviews when I went to purchase my first driver. I found the big driver test for that year and have been hooked ever since.

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

    I am from Danville, VA and my 'home course' is the only public one around Southern Hills. 

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

   Best thing about golf in my region is that it is relatively cheap especially compared to what I see rounds going for in Northern VA. Worst is the humidity in the summer and trying to fit rounds in.
