Hi all,
Joined the forum today, seems there's a fair bit of knowledge and opinions to be had here.

A little about me, started golfing when I was all of 13 years old, by the time I was 18 I was working on a course in the UK as an assistant to a club pro, played golf daily and taught lessons to the junior members.

after a year or two it became evident I was not going to be the next Colin Montgomerie (ok, in all honesty, I wasn't even getting to the good club pro level)so the real world kicked in and I had to actually get a job that would pay.......

fast forward 20 years and I'm starting to get back in to the same level of golf insanity I had then (have maybe played a total of 10 rounds in the 20 year gap), I can now hit the exact same fat shots at random intervals, swear at my clubs the way I used to and second guess my whole swing after a bad shot at the range :-)

just restocking the kit list, used to play with Ping eye2 irons, Taylormade burner 3,5 woods and a Callaway Big Bertha Driver, so far I've picked up a set of Ping i15 irons and I'm looking at the more forgiving G20 series Driver and woods. used to love my Ping Pal 2 putter so I may just pick up one of those if I see one in good condition :-) notice there's a slight bias towards Ping.....I just like the clubs.....

anyway, happy to be back playing cross country hockey, grew up playing the courses in UK and Germany, now get to play the ridiculously expensive courses in Northern Virginia :-)

cheers all!

Welcome to the Sandtrap, Dean.  It looks like we're neighbors, I live in Reston, and play golf in Loudoun County.

Thanks Dave,

Yep I live in Ashburn, work in Herndon, which is nice as I get to spend lunch practicing up at the Dulles range!
