Another PNW Hello

[Brad W]

Hey everyone.  After a 30 year hiatus, I've come back to golf.  My wife and I decided to start playing together.  While I did play a little in my 20's, I'm essentially starting all over (not that I had much foundation to begin with).

I've for sure got the bug, but I have to take things slow.  I'm not nearly as flexible and fit as I once was.  I haven't even play a full 18 yet.  We go out and do nine and call it good.  I've also been hitting up the range to work on my drives and there are a good number of par 3 courses in the area that are cheap enough I can go frequently and work on my shorter game.

I bought two used sets of clubs off Craigslist to put together a decent beginning set.  I'm 6'2" and have slightly shorter arms, so I feel like I'm really leaning over for those shorter shots.  Next year I figure to buy a fitted set.  

I don't shoot far, at least not yet.  I'm trying to develop a good swing and hoping speed will come once I get form down.  Even if I can only drive it 200, I'd be happy with that as long as it went somewhere close to where I wanted it to go.  Currently I've driving about 175 and thats with a .75 swing

Anyway, I wanted to find a place to read about golf stuff and maybe learn some stuff.  I already noticed a section for posting swing video's, so I'm looking forward to taking advantage of that 

talk to you all later

Huh, where does this site pick up the avatar pictures from?  I didn't set an avatar, yet that dog with his tongue out does belong to me (well, until he passed).

Hi. Yeah, I know that. I was just curious where the initial picture came from as  I didn't set that up, it was just there

Just go into your profile and change it when you have a chance.

I know how to change the picture.  I'm just curious where the original picture came from as I didn't set it up

That's why I answered: gravatar.

Doh!  I didn't see that. Sorry. 

 

Ok, well, I don't remember ever setting that up, but it explains how my picture showed up automatically 

 

thanks
