Hello from Avondale, AZ

Hi folks,

I just found this website a few weeks ago, so I'm still discovering new threads.

I'm Dave Lewis, 45, originally from Springfield, Missouri, but the Air Force brought me to Arizona in 1998 and I've been here ever since.  I retired from the military last year (I was an Independent Duty Medical Technician) and am now waiting for a slot to open so I can get into a Radiology school here in the Phoenix area.

Been playing golf since I was 16, but never took a lesson.  Still have the irons from my first set of clubs and still use them (Spalding Executive...not the funky hybrid-looking ones though).

I loved my time in England (1993-1998) but didn't play as much golf as I wanted.

I'm hoping to improve my game enough to break 90 one of these days.  Since this is the first time I've really taken my game seriously in 30 years, I'm hoping it won't take me another 30 to do it.  My wife is just now learning to play (her idea, but I love it) so I got her a few books, showed her a few of the fundamentals (grip, stance, putting/chipping basics, pitching basics) and she's almost ready for a few lessons from a pro.  I'm looking forward to getting out on an executive course and watching her improve.

Cheers!

- Dave
