New guy from Texas

[buddycris75]

hey whats up guys. my name is Buddy. I'm from Paradise, Tx. Its about 35 minutes northwest of the D/FW metroplex. im a student at the University of North Texas. gonna be a teacher/coach.

started playing golf when i was about 6. never did really focus completely on it though as i had too many other sports going on, mainly football. in high school i always played great early in the season and seemed to choke in our district championship. so i never advance anywhere. for a while i have just been playing to have fun with my buddies and drink and bet a little with them. but now im wanting to really focus on the game basically for the first time ever and hope to get very competitive with it. my problem has never been the skill cuz i believe i have that. but more the mental side and consistency.

anyway thats a little about me. hope to get to know you guys and talk about this great game we play.

the majority of my playing is done out here at bridgeport cc. just a little 9 hole that my dad has been a member at for about 8 years and i know everybody out there and they still let me come out and play for free on the family membership. last couple of weeks i made the trip up to winstar. pretty much fell in love with that course. its very well kept and in great shape. dont get too many chances to play nice courses since im just a poor college student.

you should play cedar crest sometime. it's about 10 min. south of downtown, so a bit of a drive for you, but probably no more than oklahoma. plus, they've got great twilight rates and the course is challenging.

Hey Guys

[Monster14]

Did you like living in Lubbock?

[buddycris75]

yea i did. but i grew up some in west texas before i moved to lubbock. also, im a college student so i was doing all that kinda stuff. where do you go play in lubbock?

[Monster14]

Meadowbrook alot, also shadow hills is nice, I have played all but the Rawls course, they want an arm and leg to play there.

[buddycris75]

yea we played shadow hills and meadowbrook alot. our favorite though was Weeks out at the old air force base. if you get a chance play Rawls atleast once. its crazy playing on a course like that in Lubbock, Tx

Born in Richardson, stuck in Albuquerque, San Angelo for 3, currently San Antonio for two. Anyone come down south to play/visit/both?

Paradise is a nice little town... and there are good / cheap courses all over the place around here.

I'm also new, and also from the metroplex, Allen to be specific. Do you guys have any suggestions for courses that are beginner friendly and not outrageously expensive? I work in Richardson, so anything in the northern part of the metroplex is perfect, Richardson, Plano, Allen, Frisco, Garland, etc.
