When did you get into Golf?

[Dub]

When I was out of college and working. Early 20's.

I was hooked pretty early on.

I started in my mid 20s but only played a couple of times a year up until last summer. So now in my mid 30s, last summer I took it more seriously and got down to an 18 handicap.

I'm hoping to get to single digits this year, I''ve been working on my swing alot all winter, and I've improved quite a bit on the launch monitor, just need to move that onto the course this summer.

When I was in middle school in the mid-1970s my dad started taking me to a full length par 3 course. It was great because it wasn't crowded, yet there were several hole around 200 yds or more where I could use driver. Once I reached age 14, he could take me to the local regulation public course (yes, they had age limits back then!). By 16, I was a single digit handicap.

I started at age 6 on the par 3 course. I passed the "Big Course Test" at age 10 to play from the reds. Moved up to the whites at age 14 and peaked at a 15 handicap. I quit playing at age 24 and returned last year after 15 years off. My current handicap is 14.

I would go to a public course with my mom and dad. My sister and I would just tag along, help drive the cart. We would usually only putt, but as we got older and begged hard enough, we would get the chance to tee off.

I started playing when I was about 8. Have been hooked ever since. I grew up in a small town and my dad was superintendent at the course. When I started I was the only junior age golfer there, by the next year we had 10. I always claimed responsibility for that, made me feel cool. But really I just wanted to have someone to play with so I would have someone to play with.
