Hello, everyone,

I found this community frequently Google-ling golf questions and it has been so informative and interesting that I figured I might as well join! I am from southeast Texas and played golf for the first time around 11 years of age. At that time my father regularly shot below par and was an excellent player but I really didn't get in to it. I am now 23 years old and started seriously playing last year when my dad decided to hang up his golf bag and I, more or less, "inherited" his clubs. I use (my dad's) Max Fli Revolution irons (3-PW), Mizuno T-Zoid 3 Wood and 5 Wood, an older Callaway driver, Mizuno Faldo 52 and 60 degree wedges, Cleveland CG15 56 degree wedge and a Ping Anser putter (yes that is 15 clubs). Over a year of playing golf I've gotten down to about a 19-20 handicap and I am not embarrassed to admit that the only reason I can score is because my dad has coached me in the short game and I dedicated most of my practice time to on or around the green practice-- my long game...eh.. not so much. I played 9 holes today and shot par on 5 of the holes whilst the remaining four were +4,+2,+2, and +2 so I am obviously not very consistent (still working on "powerless arms" and correct weight shit/rotation).

Anyway, sorry to be so long winded but I absolutely LOVE the game of golf and look forward to interacting with the community, learning, and hopefully, sharing one of the few things I've learned that might help someone else.
