Greetings From a Late Starter!

[MrLeek]

With time on my hands after being widowed (after years of being a carer) I’ve got time to enjoy(?) this beautiful frustrating game! I don’t recommend my method of getting here, but it’s been wonderful for my MH.

Picked up an old (like near-20 year old) set of clubs plus bag for £30, hit a bunch of balls on the range a few times and decided it was a thing I could get into. Been putting in the work since with a great teacher over the last year or so. Switched out the Magreggor irons for Taylor Made stealth irons middle of last year (which I love) and he recently did me a really good deal on a new (well, unused) 3-wood. Take away the high-handicapper duff shots and it’s proving to be a rather savvy purchase.

Right now I’m working on trying to flatten my swing path - I’m a *lot* less over-the-top than I was, but plenty of work to do.

Anyways….though I’d say hello
