Hello everyone, My name is Chris. I am from Houston TX, and just thought I'd drop in to introduce myself.
I got into golf about six years ago, but didn't really play all that much. I played maybe four rounds per year. The last round I played, is when I finally broke 100. That was about a year ago. I quit playing due to a divorce. I have recently remarried, and my wife and I are both just getting started again. My wife has never played, but is anxious about getting started. We have been hitting the range at least three days a week, me trying to get back into the swing of it, and her just trying to develop her swing. I am looking forward to getting back out on the course, and looking forward to getting some good advice on the forum. From what I have been reading on here so far, there seems to be lots of nice people here that are more than willing to help. I am sure I will have some questions soon, but for now, I am still just reading and trying to catch up.

Anyway, that's about it for now. Be ready though, the questions will surely come.

Welcome aboard! I've found a lot of useful information on this site.
I had an opposite experience from yours - I find time to play a lot more due to a divorce. But whatever the situation, more golf is good.
Good luck trying to find a dry course to play this weekend. Been watching the weather radar all day at work trying to find an area that escaped the rain.

Thanks Dave!

Your right, everything is going to be wet for a few days. I know golf balls don't float either, I've tested that more times than I'd like to admit.

    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.

    • Day 18: drill swing in my garage after getting home from work. 
    • Day 32 (12 Dec 25) - What was the Friday shootout became a practice round due to lack of enough players (temps kept a lot of the regulars home).  Used it to dial in some playing distances as I played back a set of tees to force alternate club selections.  Plenty of long approaches - every club was put into action thru the course is 18 holes. Was not a GiR day but rather nGIR (5 up and down pars).  Pin placement was tough - the smallest miss would see the ball roll just as far past or even off the green.  Was a great day of battling what the course was dealing. Overall - I finished 5 strokes over my average score of 86.
