Hello Guys,

 

Trust you are well. I'm new here

Welcome to the golf grind at MGS!  Where abouts in the SE region?

Friend asked me to join, saying that "I need to share some of my knowledge and expertise as a professional scientist and professional golf nut bag."

[Corentin Vadillo]

Hi everyone,

My name is Corentin, I'm 29 and I'm tuning in from the snowy landscapes of Québec City, QC, Canada. I've been playing golf for about a year now, and despite the chill, my passion for the game only keeps growing.

I've played around 50 games so far, and I've had the pleasure of swinging my clubs at some amazing courses, with Celebration in Orlando, Florida, topping my list. There’s something magical about that place that just sticks with you!

I carry a handicap of 18, but I'm continuously working to shave off a few points. My best round to date is an 89, which felt fantastic and motivates me to keep pushing. I currently working with a TheGolfRoom instructor, Alex Shattuck who is doing an amazing job from Hawaii with me. 

Given the long winters here, I spend quite a bit of off-season time on a Trackman. It’s been a game-changer for me, helping refine my swing and strategy without having to brave the cold. So far, I've played 25 games on the Trackman, holding a handicap of 5.5 there. It’s fascinating to see how different it is from playing on an actual course!

I joined MyGolfSpy because I'm eager to learn from all of you, share my experiences, and perhaps even test some new gear if the opportunity arises. I’m particularly interested in understanding more about how different equipment can affect play and how to optimize gear for personal playing style.

To finish, my wife just decided to join me on this golf journey. She started playing since last week with the help of a coach.

Looking forward to great discussions and lots of learning. Let’s hit these forums like we hit those fairways!

Cheers,

Corentin

Bought a driver to initiate a date with a girl, ended up being complimented on my drives. Had no idea what I was doing, but was cranking them out. Decided to get a half hour lesson at a discount. Started hitting em straight and so high in the air... Splurged on a used set with bag for 15$ and bought a putter at Goodwill. I started playing seriously in the Summer whilst the heat was 120° everyday. No one wanted to be out in the heat except me...lost 40 pounds of Fat, met some cool people and started scrambling with them. Absolutely love the game, wished I started as young as possible. I play in AZ if anyone wants to play.

I Just found out about MyGolfSpy and have been loving seeing the content that is posted. Finally decided to join the community after a few reviews that I read.

I've been golfing a little over a year now and am working on improving my game, but already have become obsessed with the sport. Looking forward to being part of the group and can't wait to contribute to the forum!

Good afternoon, I joined to follow the reviews of new equipment . I am a weekend warrior type golfer but I am super competitive and have a strong desire to improve my game. Currently I am a 20 handicap but at onetime I was a 14 and stopped being able to play as much as I did. Injuries suck ! feel free to message and i look forward to all threads .

This forum kept coming up whenever I would Google for golf advice. I’ve casually played my whole life and have been getting much more into golf over the last few years. The reviews on this site are gives great advice for me to find the right clubs, tips, trick, and fun new ways to enjoy the game. Because of that, I just signed up and am excited to see what more I can get involved in on here and hopefully help others with some of my own experiences!
