Hi Everyone,

I just decided to get back into golf (much cheaper than my poker habit).  I hadn't played in at least 5 years, so during a business trip to Arizona this past week, I decided to take 2 hours of lessons at the Talking Stick course in Arizona.   I had an absolute blast, and was amazed how helpful just 2 hours of lessons was.

Now the bug has hit me.   I own a golf bag that looks like something from the stone ages, and some golf clubs that I probably couldn't sell on eBay for $20.   I hit the local golf store and picked up a Ping Latitude V2 bag and after hitting a few irons in the store and talking with the folks at the store, I ordered a fitted Callaway Diablo Edge iron set!   Now there is no turning back.  I'll be looking for a putter and driver soon, but for now, my new irons and my ghetto oldie set will carry me through the driving range practices for the next few weeks.

One question: Are there other heavily trafficked and solid message boards out there that I should check out?

Happy to meet everyone here.

Hi.  Welcome.  I just joined here last week.  Haven't seen any other sites that are too active.

I'm with you and getting back into the game after 4 years away.  Got the bug something fierce.  But alas, I'm in Nebraska and will continue to practice my putting and pitching (foam balls) around the house till Spring.

You mentioned you'll need to buy a putter.  I've got some nice putters I'll be selling.  Have bought quite a few off ebay and craigslist this winter towards deciding which few to keep.  Just looking to get my money back on them (break even).  Let me know if you're interested in looking at my list.  You'll get a better deal than retail.

I've put a great bag and used/new mixed club set together via ebay and other online sites since November.  Would post my equipment in my Signature but the site still won't let me after 16 posts and more than 7 days on here.  Not sure what's going on with that.

Anyways, welcome to the Sandtrap!
