Re: Golf Resume. What's yours?

Age: 26

Height: 6'0"

Where are you from: New Jersey

How long have you been playing: Two years, but really only one year since I missed 2009 with injuries

Best Score: 88

Favorite Club in the Bag: I really do like all of them.

Golf Books/DVDs that have helped you: Five Lessons got me a foot in the door but honestly the Sandtrap.com has really given me the clearest mental picture as to what has to happen in the golf swing in order to be successful long term.

Where do you play: Monmouth County Park System

Best Course You've Played So Far: Orange County National in Orlando, Florida.

Things You Enjoy Most About Golf: Executing a shot exactly as I planned it.

Goals for 2K10: Hmm, tough question. The obvious answer is to lower my handicap as much as possible. A more specific answer is to build a repeating swing that is fundamentally correct from setup to finish. As far as the short game goes, I'm going to re-read Stan Utley's Art of the Short Game, get out and practice his teachings, and then hopefully turning it all into muscle memory.
