Hello from the Twin Cities!

[Bgoods1221]

Hey guys and gals! My name is Brandon and I'm from a suburb of the Twin Cities in Minnesota. I am 20 years old (soon to be 21) and attend college where I play baseball! This summer I have really gotten in to playing golf and I am in love! I realize I am not playing baseball at the next level so figured I could get a headstart on golf. Lately, I have been watching and reading golf nonstop, trying to find every bit of knowledge I can to improve my game. I am in the midst of finding my handicap (only have to record 2 more scores) but I would guess it would be around 20. With that said, I am looking forward to diving into this site and getting better as a golfer as well as hopefully helping others with their game!

Welcome to the site Brandon!  Most of us are the same as you, golf junkies.

This is a great place to learn about golf. I recommend the Swing Thoughts and Members Swings sections. You can post a video of your swing in and more experienced golfers and great instructors will help steer you into improving.  The Swing Thought section contains posts from our resident experts on many subject, but mostly they are an aid to help us all improve. Below is a link to more helpful threads.
