Sorry for the caddy shack quote, but i couldnt resist.    My name is adam, im a 28yr old electrician who has recently made started taking golf much more serious.  I began playing at 12 or so of and on, peaking probably at 16 when i could consistently shoot in the mid/high 80s.   I didnt golf nearly as much once i started driving as I had other sports that i was more into such as track.   Ive recently put my hobby/obsession with drag racing and engine building on the back burner as it was taking to much time, to much money, and causing way to much stress.  My game has some serious holes like any other amatures, but im working on them, and working hard to hit my goal of 85 this year.  My first round out  i shot 55/45 for 101, terrible, but not super terrible i dont think being that I havent played in 2.5 years.    I bought new clubs this year as well,  I have ping g15 woods which i hit  very well, and bran new cleveland CG7 irons with stiff iron shafts (93mph with 8iron when they tested me)  (103 driver)  Im fairly consistent with ball placement while on the driving range, but im looking to bridge the gap to the course, which obviously if the hard part of golf.    Sorry for the long winded introduction, i look forward to advice, comraderie, bad jokes, and possibly good drinks if anyone is in my area!   Please pardon my internet spelling and grammar as well.

Regards

Adam.
