Newbie from philadelphia pa

Hello everyone, just wanted to drop a line and introduce myself. Name's Patrick and I'm about as new to the sport as they come. I would have never seen myself picking up the game at 35 years of age! After my promotion my Boss decided to come into my office and tell me that that we are going to handle some business with clients at the club.... Well the conversation totally changed tunes to the idea that I need to learn the game... By the end of the day, I was handed two bags 16 golf clubs.... As my boss put it "he needed an excuse to tell the wife that he needed to buy a new set". So now here I am! I'm looking forward to browsing around and doing my research.

Hey Patrick, welcome to TST. There's a ton of info here with regards to new golfers, there's also some great guys here than can help you to improve your game, and a forum for member swings, i.e. you video your swing and get some solid feedback on areas that may need improvement. Here's a link to some great drills to help your swing.  http://purestrike5sk.com/videos.php

Enjoy your stay.

Amusing story!  Welcome to The Sand Trap!

Welcome Patrick!
