Hi there,

After playing many other sports, at the age of 31 I choose golf as my sport of choice, which I intend to play regularly and achieve a handicap of 5 or below. I'm a good natural ball striker and possess good hand eye coordination. I have hit a lot of golf balls in the past on the range and enjoyed the odd round of golf, but I never took up the sport properly until now.

I will be playing my golf in southern France, as I am moving there from the UK next month. So I should be able to enjoy the game 12 months a year!

In theses early stages I have been trying different equipment discovering what suits my swing and game, which I will discuss in another post.

Looking forward to joining in the discussion and learning from experienced golfers.

Thanks,

Andrew.

Welcome to the forums!

And very expensive. From the UKs 2000 plus courses, I will have 1 from 500 to choose from, with many being part of the golfing holiday circuit.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By StuM ·

      I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...

      Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver.
