What Do You Do for a Living?

I am a college student and a college golfer!

I'm incredibly jealous. I didn't pick up the clubs until after I was eligible for NCAA status. Not on purpose.

I often say that if I had picked up golf at a younger age, I'd be doing something very different now. My current job, computer science -related stuff, comes from a childhood hobby that I kept practicing because I enjoyed it. [I'm not claiming I'd be a pro, but I'd try to find a job where "corporate golf" is part of the job]

I look after a service company in the petroleum industry, currently based in Indonesia. I have been fortunate enough to play in Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia recently. Great golf in Asia, and usually good weather too!

I'm an IT Auditor

Not a member of a golf club at the moment - currently living in Perth, with home being Scotland, where I was a member of a club, but with Perth being a temp assignment for 2 years, not up for paying a $$$ joining fee for only a short time. loving playing a variety of courses rather than the same one each week

My handicap is 17 - has been for years, but have got really into my golf here, and am playing 18 holes every weekend with either 9 holes or an evening at the driving range through the week. Finally seeing more consistency, and looking to bring the handicap into what has always been a goal - single figures... I monitor my handicap on a spreadsheet I came up with, based on the UK handicap system.

My bag;
Great Big Bertha (Warbird) 9 degree
Big Bertha 5 wood
Revolution Oversize (3-PW)
Revolution TPS 52 deg Gap Wedge
Revolution 55 deg SW
Vokey SM60.04 (soon to be!)
FAZER IT4G putter
NXT Tour ball

Superquad
Fusion #3
Big Bertha Warbird #5

Vokey SM56.10 & 60.08 White Hot 2-ball

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.
