Hello, from NJ

[Tim S]

Hey there. Thanks for having me on The Sand Trap.

My Avatar is a pic of me and Hank Haney from 1987. I won a Golf Illustrated contest that sent me to PGA West for a week of lessons with Hank. He made a big point out of helping me understand why the ball does what it does, and goes where it goes. I didn't know it then, but he was giving me more than a week of mere lessons. He was giving me an education that would last for the next 20 years.

I play out of Scotch Plains, NJ, some decent county courses. I play a lot in Maryland with my son. Just got a set of TM LT2's off eBay and love them!

See you around this place. :)

Welcome to the board. My other residence besides Korea is Watchung. I haven't been to enough courses in the area but plan on going to Warrenbrook in a week with my father.

Your avatar is awesome and some people would have killed for that opportunity.

Hey there. Thanks for having me on The Sand Trap.

Welcome to the board. That picture is just too cool. If I had spent a week with Hank Haney in 1987, I wonder where I'd be now It's cool that you play with your son. I wish my dad played.

Hello from Sussex County!

What a great pic!! Talk about a memorable day. How is it you're not a touring pro after that lesson?

Good luck with the new TM's!

I am new to this fourm and looking for some quality golfers to play with in Northern Jersey. I mostly play at Fladners due to its convenience and good fees, but am always looking for new challenges!

Hey, EGS.

Welcome! I grew up in Flanders and used to play Flanders Valley as they were building it. Cost $5 for the only 9 holes they had at that time. I raised my son on those courses. Love 'em!

I live about 1-1/2 hours away now, but my son and I were just talking about going up for a reunion round. If we do, I'll shout out to ya.

I used to spend a lot of time in Chester, too. (Grew up in Succasunna) Had a girl there once, and I acted at the theatre there. Love that Turkey Farm, too. Can you still go up to the kitchen door, give a knock, and buy a rack from the chef for $2? (Gawd...I sound like Grampa Simpson!)

Cya,

TS

PS: Hey Sherpat! Sussex rules!

TS,


Not too good on the local knowledge as I am a Westcoast transplant (I know, I am crazy). Let me know when you are up this way.
