Well, I'm 28, played golf since I was 8 in Metro Atlanta. Played wilson JR set, and some MacGregors and West Georgia Golf Company custom clubs (cheap) for the last 14 years.

I've played many courses in Atlanta, Turtle Bay, HI once, a few 'executive' courses in Florida. Some vacation golf in SC and Florida.

My brother-in-law is part-owner of a club in metro Atlanta and grew up on 4 different courses, still play 3 of them today.

I played Bobby Jones qutie a bit in college.

I've been a USGA member off and on, getting back into it by buying some new irons, leaning towards to cobra fp's although the r7's fell grea. (If I buy new irons it will justify me playing more golf)

I'm now about a 11+ handicap depending on the course, best under USGA was a 5+.

I'm not so much a preppy golfer(not saying many here are) I grew up on 2 private courses, where I'm from you hunt almost as much as you golf. I'm the guy that shows up at the club with the cat-less, super-charged Mustang that parks next to the BMW M-3, I like my beer(but drink plenty of scotch) and play with a can of snuff in my back pocket rather than a stogie in my shirt.

Day 2 Day I'm a software engineer who works in Atlanta.

Anyway, great forum and look forward to using y'all's advice and tips to improve my score.

Welcome. Have you played The Frog?

Nope not yet, mainly b/c it's right down the road from the course my brother-in-law co-owns (Creekside). So I get to play there pretty cheap.

      LIV Golf Coming to Your Town - What do You do?

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      I don't follow the LIV tour so for starters somebody would have to tell me that they are coming. Even if tickets were free I probably wouldn't go. I'm just not interested.  I've been to a fair amount of PGA Tour Tournaments in my life. I've even attended two US Opens... One men's, and one women's. I've been to college and high school tournaments as well.  I'd actually be more interested in attending a Korn Ferry Tournament or an Epson Tour Tournament. Which reminds me the Nationwide Chlidren's Hospital Championship in September is right down the street. I should get tickets.

      LIV Golf Coming to Your Town - What do You do?

      By DaveP043 ·

      LIV golf was pretty close to me in 2023, at the same course that hosted the 2023 Senior PGA.  I didn't go to either one.  I do know a few people who went to the LIV event, and they said it was pretty well attended and pretty well run.  If I had free tickets, I might show up, but I'd probably have to drive 10 miles to park to get a shuttle to come back to within 5 miles of my house.

      LIV Golf Coming to Your Town - What do You do?

      By mcanadiens ·

      As long as "in town" means a drive of less than an hour, I'd probably go.  I've never actually been to a pro golf event, so it would be a novelty. Presumably, they'd be playing on a course that I'm not normally allowed to visit, so there would be an interest in just going to see the place. My tolerance for traffic is pretty minimal, so if massive headaches are predicted it would dampen my enthusiasm.

      I would definitely buy tickets and go watch a round or two.
