Hey Guys!

Sorry I had to hit up three posts before I could make a thread!! I am a new golfer, just started about three months ago, I got into it mainly for work, and bc I was tired of breaking bones and getting hurt (snowboarding/motocross) but now I love it. I never would have thought I would have liked it as much as I do, I usually am into going fast and catching big air, but the thrill of a good shot (even though mine are few) is almost as much fun as hitting 50 footer on my snowboard. I sold most my dirtbikes and I am hooked on playing. I still stink pretty bad, but love going out. Just wanted to say hello and hopefully I can learn somethings from here. Take it easy

You enjoy yourself now. Stinking isn't so bad. My first few regulation rounds were in the 160 range. Now I'm threatening double-digit scores, any round now. It's great that you're focusing on the good shots. Those are why you play. I had 9 holes of bad shots yesterday, then 9 holes of decent shots, capped off by a lob wedge to within inches of the pin for a kick-in par. I tell this story not (only) to brag, but because you probably have a great shot or two you can think of. Remember it when you play, and it'll find friends in your memories. Let us know how it goes!

YOU SOLD MOST OF YOUR DIRTBIKES?!

Good lord man, you can't do both? I (re)took up golf a few months ago but still keep 6 bikes in the garage and my wife and I both still race regularly. C'mon, you can do it too! And if motocross is too tough on the bod, take up trials!

Lol...and don't worry, EVERYBODY stinks bad at golf at first. But that will change - especially if you have fun. That's the best incentive.

Good luck!

Welcome! It's good to have you here. Enjoy your stay and ask around if you have any questions. I'm sure the folks are more than happy to help you out.

thanks guys, and I still ride a couple dirtbikes and have a track in the backyard, but racing days are over. As far as good shots go, I played last night pretty bad, but hit the pin on a par three from the tee, I thought it was going in!!
