Hello from Colorado

[glock35ipsc]

Hello everyone. My name is Bob, and I think I finally found a new hobby for me at the age of 40. Golf is a game I have been wanting to try for years but for whatever reasons, just never went out and tried it. A month or so ago I mentioned to my Dad that I still wanted to try. He has played for a few years, not serious about it at all, but at age 70 he has a blast and really isn't too bad at it either! He said "just meet me at the driving range tonight when you get off work." We spent about on hour there and I really had a good time. We got together again that Saturday and played nine holes at one of the public courses here in town. After that, I was hooked!

So I called around to a few people I know that have played for years asking for their advise on instructors. The owner of the company I worked for (along with a couple others I talked to) mentioned that he really likes the instructor at the country club where he is a member. A phone call to him and I was scheduled for my first lesson the following Saturday.

Two lessons and 4 rounds later I am officially a golf addict! I still have 3 lessons left with Ryan, and look forward to each one. Dad gave me his first set of clubs, a mostly complete set of Dunlop Extreme clubs, and I pieced together a few remaining clubs. My instructor has loaned me the driver, and I will either try to buy this one or see if I can find a used one similar to it. He also determined that my standard length irons were too short, and after some trial fittings he decided that the needed to be lengthened. What a difference that made!

Well, enough babbling from me. I look forward to learning more and more every time I go out, and every time I read something. So I might not be a consistent poster here, but I will definitely be doing a lot of reading!
