Hello from Austin...

[Sammieiii]

My name is Sam and I've been playing golf on & off most of my life but began taking it more serious about 3-4 years ago.  It is a fascinating game that even the best in the world can't beat, which is what I love about it...there is always a challenge and always something to improve on.

I am very happy to be a part of the forum and look forward to learning tips & drills for practice and of course, how to improve my game, especially on the greens.

Welcome.  My brother just moved to north of Austin (Round Rock).  Any recommendations for nice courses in that area?

Welcome, Sammie. 

Lots of good stuff here and enough topics of interest for a wide variety of people here. Take a look at the "how to..." area to get a feel for the basics of the site, and jump right in!

thank you!  There are some good courses around RR.  Has he played Teravista or Forest Creek?  There's also Star Ranch, Avery Ranch and Blackhawk.  Twin Creeks is close to RR (off 183-A).  Let me know if he's played those and I'll look up some others.

My brother is not really a golfer but he plans to get into it more now that he has retired.  Plus I will be visiting so we will need some places to play.  Thanks for the list of potential courses.
