Got game?

[GaijinGolfer]

I started playing in '99 at the age of 19, but then I gave up golf in '00. Back then I was pretty big into hunting and fishing and at the time I bought a black Lab puppy, whom I was spending a lot of time training for pheasent hunting and doing field trials, so I really didnt have the money or time for golf.
I just recently picked the game back up in June of this year and Id say just within the last month Ive started to feel like Ive got a handle on my game. Granted, I still hit my bad shots and I still have my days where I suck, but Ive got pretty good control of my irons, my short game is good and my putting is great. Now all I need to do is figure out that pesky driver. Im a 34 handicap because my driving sucks. On par-3 courses Im par/bogey on every hole.

Started fairly early, probably around age 8 and played quite a bit up till grade 12. I'm basically self taught and you could say I had somewhat of a handle on things quite early...shooting mid-90s fairly consistently. Bit of a slow down during University but I've really got back into the game over the last few years, especially this year. I'm still perfectly capable of shooting mid-90s lol, but my game is definitely improving. Lots of rounds in the 80s and I know that I am perfectly capable of shooting even par if I can get just a bit more consistent (ex. today I play 9 holes, even par on 6 of the holes (2 birdies, two bogeys) and +10 on 3 (+4 on a hole and then two holes of triple bogey steaming lol)).
