New around here...Howdy!

[SeenRed]

Stumbled across this forum while researching irons. Looks like a good board...looking forward to doing a lot of reading around here to get a feel for the forums, and to learning and talking golf with you guys. A little about me, name's Joel, but you can call me Red. I'm on the dark side of 50...been an avid golfer for 30+ years. Don't play as well these days as I did when I was younger...I'm about a 13 HC now, at my best I was about an 8...but those days are gone. I've gotten a little arthritic the last couple years, which has reduced the number of rounds I play per month by quite a bit, but I still try to get a couple rounds in a week. Just traded up to a new set of irons...Callaway X Hot N14's. Excited to break 'em in...so far I've only hit them during the fitting in the store, but I feel like they're gonna give me back some distance I've lost the last few years due to age, arthritis, and a set of irons that I never hit very far. Anyway, excuse my rambling...glad to be here! Red

Thanks for stumbling Red!  I am also on the dark side of 50! We can still improve or get back to close to where we were at our age.  I recommend the Swing Thoughts and Member Swings sections and also the Fitness section.  Keeping our flexibility is key to staying golf ready!
