Howdy from Texas


Recommended Posts

Hi MGS,

Just wanted to say hello from Austin. I've been playing golf recreationally since I was a kid. Recently I've taken the game a little more seriously but always play to have fun.

I was told about MGS by a user I worked the Valero Texas Open with in San Antonio. I think his name on here is Na Ka Oi. Played with him last weekend and thought I ought to get signed up here. I frequent another golf forum but figure there's never too much info to read up on so I wanted to come on here.

Current setup (in case anyone is wondering):
Nike Covert Tour, Speeder 6.2TS Stiff
R11 Ti 3/5 woods, 'ahina 70S and D+82S

Nike Covert Tour 4 Hybrid (22*), KK Silver S
W/S FG Tour V2 4-PW KBS C-Taper Lite X, 1* flat
Vokey SM4 52.12 and 58.12 KBS Tour Stiff, 1* flat
Ping Anser Milled "0" with sound slot, black dot

Welcome, ya know, we are getting enough guys from Texas to have at least a regional MGS Texas Open. The big one is perhaps more centrally located. However, my travel budget is depleted, at least for the month.:lol:

Just wanted to update the little changes I've made to the bag since June.  Taking classes to become certified to teach students with visual impairments cut into a bit of my play time this past fall.  Hopefully this spring, despite the need to be in Saturday classes again, I'll be able to get more rounds in.

 

I guess I should note my backups:

And yes, we need to get a group going! My wife has weekly "Girls Only, Downtown Abbey" nights with her friends, so surely I can have a round of golf with the guys here and there.  I'm willing to play anywhere.

Thanks!  I tend to lurk a lot here and other forums of various topics.  Don't usually post unless I feel I have something to add to a discussion.  :ph34r:

When will this happen and where. I would be down for Forest Creek. I've also been wanting to play Avery ranch. Are either of those close to you?

I live in North Central ATX, just two minutes from the Golfsmith HQ. I'm equidistant from both, and wouldn't mind either track. Hula and I might be getting a round in down in SA if the weather behaves this weekend.
