Hi from Philly

[lefty.drew]

Hey all.

I'm a recent college graduate working in the insurance business, putting Journalism BA to good use

I freelance for some local publications and am toying with the idea of writing some kind of something about golfing next summer.

As far as golf goes, I'm a complete neophyte. I was a football player/wrestler my whole life and am an avid pro sports fan (Eagles,Flyers,Sixers,World-Champion Phils). While interning at a sports publication in Pittsburgh this summer, I got heavy into golf. I had played in summers during high school and was always decent (sub-100), but I've been watching golf like a fiend all summer and feel compeletely hooked.

I think a large reason for my new obsession is the ability to play and compete. I love football, but I can't toss on the pads and play a pickup game under the lights. But golf I can play whenever I want.

Anyhow, I've been reading these forums for a while and figured I'd join, pick the locals for some knowledge and see where my new hobby takes me.

Welcome to the Sand Trap.

Haha! I'm sure you remember last year

On a similar sports note, I almost had to cancel my account when I noticed iacas had Sidney Crosby as his avatar. I spent my entire summer writing about the Penguins and their cup victory as a Flyers' fan. This after they ousted us in round 1. New season, new results?
