Jake From Chicago

[Squeens33]

Hi All,

My name's Jake - I'm 27 and from the west suburbs of Chicago. I started golfing during COVID summer and am on my 4th season, but it was cut short due to a wrist injury while hitting a bunker shot this past August. I just found this site today while doing further research on my injury and came across @cipher's blog about his ECU injury (which is most likely what I did too).

For starters - if anyone has any history with an ECU tear or injury, please let me know. I have an MRI in 2 weeks and surgery the following week if needed. 

Secondly - I love the idea of this site. I am an avid golfer and was on pace for 70 rounds this year. I am fully addicted and can't believe I didn't play this sport prior to COVID. I played college basketball as well and baseball & football in HS and used to laugh at the idea of golfing. What a fool I was. 

A few other things - I am a big time Youtube golf viewer (Bryan Bros & Bob Does Sports mainly). I am a lefty golfer & got my handicap down to 9.6 this year which I was pumped about after starting the season at 14.8. All self-taught and just watching youtube/tiktok videos. Love researching all things golf & try to learn as much as I can!

Feel free to reach out and ask about Chicagoland courses, I've played a bunch and try to play as many as I can. Thanks for having me!
