Darkfrog's Introduction

[Darkfrog]

Just noticed this introductory forum, so I thought I would introduce myself to The Sand Trap, even though I've been posting for a couple weeks, and been registered since May 2019.

My username, Darkfrog, is a homage to The Old Dark Frog in Arnold Lobel's Frog and Toad stories, which I recall fondly from my childhood, and now have the pleasure of reading to my kids. My real name is Peter, which only my immediate family calls me. To everyone else I'm Pete.

I somehow stumbled upon The Sand Trap looking for some sort of golf information earlier this year. It didn't really dawn on me at the time, but I recently realized that this site is such an oasis of unfiltered golf information from other avid players and enthusiasts, and as far as I can tell, the only place on the internet (in English at least) that offers what it does. Everything else (I won't give them mention) is so full of adds, completely unsubtle sponsored yet "unbiased" reviews (sorry, but it's hard to trust a review when there are multiple banner ads for the companies being reviewed throughout the text), and big brand PR mumbo-jumbo "articles" (did you know that company X who has paid ads all over this site is actually really innovative and down to earth?).

Aside from my golf obsession, I'm an avid home cook, and espresso enthusiast.

Glad to be here!
