Formal introduction

Hi everyone,

My name is John, I started playing last year just before winter (yea I know perfect time) But I've already started the season for this year.

I started playing as an activity my wife and I could do together. I also play ice hockey but she wouldnt go for that.

I have not yet played a real course, just doing the driving range and a local par 3 course.

When we first started playing we both got cheap sets off craigslist to start with. I have now upgraded to whats in my sig and my wife is in the process of upgrading also. I found her a new set of irons on ebay so she just needs some new fairway woods and a driver.

I hope to play my first course this weekend.

As a fellow hockey player and golfer I welcome you. My wife also plays golf, she wouldn't go for hockey either, not that I tried. Some people say they would NEVER want thier wives to play, but I think it's a great mutual activity, and it gives us something nice to add into vacations.

The next day you will want to play again :). thats golf for ya. Well, i hope you and your wife have a good time, and enjoy

Hi John, welcome. What part of Pittsburgh are you from? New Kensington here.

I look forward to my wife taking up the game again, too. She played some before we kids and will most likely take up the game again when life slows down a bit. We always enjoyed playing together, and sometimes she would just walk with me while I played. Those were the good old days when they allowed non playing walkers on most courses.
