returning after 16 years

[old golf nut]

Hi all

Quit the game due to a bad back and bad back operation, getting back into it because my Doctor said I needed to find a way to leave work behind.....I am a VP for a fast paced manufacturing company(59), had some chest pains....Doctor told me I needed an outlet, he recommended golf, so got some used cheap clubs, been practicing some at local driving range, has helped......back seems fine, a little about my past experience with this game, played for about 11 years, last clubs were Ping Eye 2 right after they came out, got to a 18 handicap, going off the driving range results, I am around 35 now....but what the heck, am having fun....been reading the posts for a few months now, seems like you guys offer a lot to everyone and have helped me a lot, so joined up.....I live in Southeast Michigan(Plymouth area) going to play some, buy some new clubs if things( my back, which seems fine after a dozen  large buckets at the range) like pings so will most likely go that route....,  never could hit a driver, so never carried one, went with a 3 wood off the tee and either a 4 and 5 wood,or a 4 and 6 wood...to you better players.... keep giving us not so better players tips, thanks for a great forum
