I am so stoked!

I just came back to the game a couple of months ago. I never really quit but haven't played seriously since the early 90s. I took up the game in 1988 and worked real hard at it for the first couple of years but circumstances caused me to become just an occasional duffer. I didn't even pick up a club last year if that tells you anything. Now I'm back and am really struggling to get my game up to par, so to speak. I've been playing several times a week, practicing at the range, taking lessons, etc., and had a real breakthrough today. It all seemed to start coming together yesterday so I couldn't wait to play today. I played a really challenging par 3 course today and shot 15 over, which is really good for me right now. The score might seem high but it really doesn't tell the whole story. I was hitting all my clubs really well and I've always been good with a putter. I've never had more confidence in my swing than I have right now. For the first time in my golfing life, my swing is actually repeatable. I feel like I'm on the verge of getting to a single digit handicap and couldn't be happier. I can't wait to get back on the course. Anyway, just thought I'd share because I'm using a lot of the tips I've picked up from you guys. The lessons haven't hurt either

Thats great to hear! You just proved to people that score isnt everything, its how your hitting your clubs and the shots you make and the confidence you build.

why did you stop playing?

Just keep up with the positive attitude and build on the confidence in your swing and you'll go far. Oh, practice your putting too and you'll shock yourself! Keep it up.
