Hi everyone!

I'm Frank, I'm a Swiss living in Colombia since 2015 who's just starting to discover this intriguing sport!
I worked in finance for 20 years in Switzerland, then I traveled around the world and finally I decided to settle in this beautiful country to start my company. Now I run a luxury tour operator here.

I've always been close to golf (my dad and some close friends play back home) but I just started to learn. Colombia is actually a dream golf destination in my opinion, it has it all, all year round and is still undiscovered. Smth to pique your curiosity 😉

This week I played my first 9-hole course, lost so many balls haha but I'm excited to get better so that I can play all the courses in my adoptive country!

Also, I got this set from a friend (not sure if the descriptions are "well" written).

  • Driver: Callaway Epic MAX LS Driver
  • Wood: Callaway Epic MAX 5 Wood Regular (Project X HZRDUS Smoke iM10 60)
  • Irons: Ping Eye 2 Irons 4-9
  • Wedges: Ping Eye 2 Wedge PW, Ping G2 SW
  • Hybrid: Nickent 3DX IW RC 23° 4 Hybrid Regular Flex SR 2.5
  • Putter: MD Golf Superstrong STR40  #1 Putter
  • Ball: TaylorMade Distance +

So any advice/insight for beginners is appreciated!

best,

Frank

      Relief From a Drop Zone

      By DaveP043 ·

      Welcome to TST, Jeremy.  And thanks for  using the Search feature, but given the age of the post you revived, you'd have been fine starting a new thread. As for the question, the Dropping Zone is part of the General Area.  If its defined as GUR, what does a player do who actually uses the DZ?  After she drops, is her ball in GUR, so she gets additional relief?  I'm afraid the coach was right.  Of course she DOES have the right to play two balls and ask for a Ruling when she finishes, but I'm afraid its just a bit of bad luck for her to end up in that divot hole.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By DeadMan ·

      Knocked out 1 and 4 yesterday. Had a good look at 5 from about 15 feet, but just missed it on the high side. I also got an eagle on number 7 with a hole out from 177. Pretty good day!  I need 5, 13, 16, and 17 to complete it. But I am now a little worried about needing to play 18 to get those last 3, especially if I'm still missing them in, like, October.
