How long have you been playing: Two years, but really only one year since I missed 2009 with injuries

Best Score: 88

Favorite Club in the Bag: I really do like all of them.

Where do you play: Monmouth County Park System

Best Course You've Played So Far: Orange County National in Orlando, Florida.

Things You Enjoy Most About Golf: Executing a shot exactly as I planned it.

Goals for 2K10: Hmm, tough question. The obvious answer is to lower my handicap as much as possible. A more specific answer is to build a repeating swing that is fundamentally correct from setup to finish. As far as the short game goes, I'm going to re-read Stan Utley's Art of the Short Game, get out and practice his teachings, and then hopefully turning it all into muscle memory.

Age : 28

How Long Have You Been Playing: Four years, but really only three, or like two and a half, since injuries have seriously derailed me too many times.

Best Score: 82
