It looks like I have finally found a decent community full of players. I couldn't handle reddit/golf anymore - too many "critique my swing" and "I finally broke 120" posts.

About me: I'm from Southern California, going to school in Utah, currently doing an internship in the Dallas, Texas area in Operations Management. I'm 27, I live and breathe golf, like many of you. I'm married, (2 years) and a little girl on the way (October). I play as much as I can (at least once a week) and carry a 3.5 GHIN.

I used to play with a very regular group of fellas in the Provo, Ut area, and now I don't know anyone in this area to go play with, or can find a decently run league to join. If you are from the DFW area and know of something consistent, pass me some information.

What I play:

TaylorMade R11,9* (lowest loft ~8*) Aldila DVS 80X 44 1/4"

Titleist 910f, 15*, A1 setting Diamana 'ahina 82X

Titleist MB 710, 3-PW, X100 +3/4"

Cleveland CG15, 52*, 56*, 60*, +3/4"

Scotty Cameron Fastback 1.5, 35"

TaylorMade Penta TP, or Titleist Pro V1x

I look forward to spending many hours here rather than working. Cheers!

Hey there, neighbor. :-) Didn't know /r/golf had grown. I checked it maybe 6 months back and it was practically dead.

I've got a group of guys that plays pretty much every Saturday, and even if they don't...I do.  Just hit me up via PM and we can set something up.

    • Both @DaveP043 and I play in our interclub matches every year, and have been team Captains as well.  There are always a few courses, mine is one, that win a lot of matches (we've won twice in the last 7 years), and we've been labeled as sandbaggers.  However, I really think that our course was rated too low (our greens just never seemed to get factored in enough), and thus our Handicaps were always a stroke or maybe 2 above, what they would've been if the course was rated higher.  And then when we went and played other courses, their slope and rating were much higher than ours, and sometimes I would get a 2 or 3 stroke bump on top of that.  It was definitely an advantage.  However, this past year, our course was rated again and the slope has gone up, so we'll see if we continue to have the same benefit.  Season starts this Sunday for us.

    • I would not do anything until I met with an instructor and got your swing looked at. There are some obvious better club options out there though. Spend 50 bucks on a lesson, practice and start piecing together a bag that works for you. Enjoy the journey.
