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.

    • Not really, no. I don't know the history, what you've worked on, what you've tried and moved away from… etc.
    • Day 9: 2/16/25 Putting through 50 mm gates from 11”. Swing pressure shift drills.
    • Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.
    • Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.
    • A question I have is…this swing (fade, pull cut) does not  feel as good and easily repeatable as the draw swing we were working on previously.  I’m kinda in a weird spot where I do not know which direction will be the best to pursue. I like seeing a penetrating 5 yard draw but also like the thought of the fade not getting away from me as much.    Any thoughts on that?
