Hello from Wyoming

[GolfGhost]

My way into golf is strange.  My BIL got married about 6 weeks ago on a golf course, and with the ceremony and reception he got a free round of golf for him and his 3 groomsman.  Didnt even know about it until the day before we played.  Since it doubled as a bachelor party of sorts, we drank beer the whole time and did a shot every third hole.  We got blasted, but through it all I had fun.

About 10 days later, I was in Albuquerque and found myself with a free afternoon, so I hit the Tieras Arroyos course on Kirtland AFB, and I wanted to play 18 for real and not get drunk.  I teed off from the 1st into the 9th fairway, hit it from there to the 2nd tee box.  Almost ate the money I spent and quit.  But, I didnt.  I skipped the 1st hole after those two hits and teed off from the 2nd, right down the fairway and then bogeyed.  3rd was about the same.  I was hooked.  I went on to shoot a 109 on my first ever round, and that included crediting myself with a triple bogey for the 1st hole I basically skipped.

Since then, my wife bought me a set of clubs and is golfing with me.  I try and golf once a week and I see myself getting marginally better.

I am glad to have found this forum and hope to learn something and maybe in the future help someone else.
