hi everyone i just found this forum last night and im addicted haha
well to tell you a little about myself im 19 i just recently started golfing in memory of my great grandfather he was an avid golfer and i dont want his golfing to be forgotten so i have picked it up and fell in love with it, im obsessed my friends and family tell me haha
well i look forward to talking to people on here making friends and finding out more about this wonderful game of golf

Good for you Spencer... Where do you play in Houston? It is a great golfing community (albeit a big and spread out one.)

[Spencer]

yeaaa i just moved here not to long ago and theres alot of golf to be played haha but dont you worry im going to get my fill haha i doubt it i cant get enough

Awesome that you took up the game in honor of your great grandfather. My grandmother was a single digit handicap. My father played in high school, but found other sports to focus on because he couldn't beat his own mother!

welcome! im originally from houston my self.... im new here too looking forward to learning and sharing some great tips!!

[Spencer]

@jaybird-haha yeaa my greatgrandpa was the same way no one in my family wanted to keep it going cause they couldnt beat him when they were in their twenties but his skill has been passed to me somehow cause yesterday at the range i was told i have an amazing swing and that i have potential to go amatuer if not pro which i have no idea if he was blowing smoke but i would say im decent for only playing 4 months

@andymane-its a great forum i think you will enjoy it maybe i could get some tips from you sometime

[andymane]

anytime spencer! what area of houston do u play in? i play in the Humble and Woodlands area....

[Spencer]

i actually live in atascosita i have only played at tour 18 cause i just got here and settled so i have only gotten to go to the driving range and tour 18 once

[andymane]

wow small world man, i grew up there! and my family still lives there, i currently live in China, been here for 4 years.....still make it home 2 or 3 times a year!!!

[Spencer]

wow what in gods name are you doing halfway around the world?
is there good golf over there?

[andymane]

the company i worked for decided to expand internationally about 4 years ago, i moved over to help out, was only posed to be here for 1 year, but i love it here and am now pushing my 5th year!!! and yes they have some exceptional golf here!! there is a Gary Player course very near me, and several others less than an hour away....the neat thing about playing golf here is that no matter what course you play, you are assigned your own personal caddy.... at first i thought to my self " im gunna hate this, 12 years of golfing and ive never had a caddy, i dont need no stinkin' caddy!!!" boy was i wrong the guys/gals are exellent! within a few holes they got you pegged for club seletion and they know the greens like no1's business!!! needless to say i really enjoy golfing here!
