23 Year old college student getting back into the game

[saltlife843]

I started playing golf when I was probably around 8. I played almost everyday and played for my high school golf team for 4 years. I got my handicap down to about 4 and then college started. Between the already flowing beers from high school and new girls my clubs went into the closet. Worst mistake ever. I played a few times over the past 4 years I've been in college but as you know my swing is nothing the same. The Dubai Dessert Classic got me back into the game and I joined a golf course down the road from school. So hopefully after some practice my swing will come back to me. I'm so glad I found this website. Some days after the range I feel like quitting but I think this might be the tool I need to keep me motivated.

Glad that you found us Travis!

Sad to hear about your 4 yr. layoff of the game.

Unfortunately, you are probably too old to come back to the game.

I can't imagine that having been down to a 4 handicap index, that you won't make dramatic improvements in a short time.

And, if you feel like you are sucking, read through the forums and frecapture the joy of the game again, especially evident in the enthusiasts with high handicap indexes. Remember, it's a game. It is supposed to be fun.

Glad you came back to the game. After all, you live in golf paradise.
