Happy Sunday Team GolfSpy!

First & foremost, a huge shoutout to the "creators" of GolfSpy! As a passionate/fanatic Golfer & Caddie, sites like these are a blessing, for anything/everything related to the golf industry! So, again, thank you all for your contributions to the growth of the game of golf

How long have you been playing golf?
- Ive been around golf for a pretty long time, since my elementary/middle school days. Dad had tried to get me to play, which I did, w/ my own set of clubs, but at that time I was more focused on Lacrosse & Baseball. Started truly playing in my early 20's, now 31, wow time flies! I got my first "fitting" 4 years ago, now I play almost everyday & am on the grass "looping" everyday!
What’s your handicap or normal score?
- My USGA GHIN is at a 8.6
- Handicap: 8-13
What do you love about golf?
- All the aspects the game brings out...: Nature, Competitiveness, Adrenaline, Versatility (golf clubs), & Camaraderie! I can go on & on, lol
What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?
- My peers & colleagues & no I unfortunately do not know any actual "GolfSpies", which is crazy being in the industry for work.

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