Hey everyone!

Found this site by visiting the links section of http://••••••••••••••••••.com/ , and fell in love with the design and atmosphere of the place. So, I thought I would become a member!

I am currently a 6.1 handicap that is looking to jump to the next level. I have been under par only twice [69 (-3), 70 (-2)] but feel that if I had some swing tweaks or tips that I would be able to perform at that level more regularly.

I originally got into golf when I was 13 (11 years ago). I was actually a baseball player at the time, but we used whiffle golf balls as a practice drill. The next thing I know, I am hitting a three iron in the backyard (cross handed...) and I was hooked.

I have been married for a little over two years now. She took up the game when we first got together, but has yet to break 100. I work in IT for public government in Reno, Nevada. My goals in golf, as stated above, it to become a scratch (or better ;) ) golfer.

With that somewhat lengthy introduction, I am off to try to find some new tips as I have our club championship coming up on the 26th and 27th!

Talk to you soon!

Welcome. It's unusual for a 6.1 index to shoot 3 over par, and particularly odd for a 6.1 index to shoot under par... I'm a 3.6, and I've done it once this year (and that was only one under).

Welcome aboard.

Yay for IT guys, doing stuff so i don't have to. (being i'm a software developer). I know alot about IT, i just never liked devoting myself to it.

As for golf, rock on, the more the merrier, I'm a little new here, but the community on this board is one of the best i've seen in a long time.

I'm terrible, but i have fun.
