Hello from North Georgia

[Maxallowedstrokes]

Hello everyone! Been lurking for awhile, thought I'd get involved in some conversations now.

I started the game about 8 months ago, instantly fell in love. I mainly play with my dad and brothers, it has been a great bonding experience for all of us. I grew up riding dirt bikes and motorcycles but now that I am in my 30's it has been nice to find a hobby that I don't have to worry about breaking a bone if I decide to push things :) I have a young son and I look forward to getting him into the game so we can have a mutual hobby for the next several decades. 

Fortunately the weather here in the south has been mild over the last few months and I am in law enforcement so that means a lot of golf during the week instead of having to battle it out for a weekend tee time. 

I look forward to sharing in some conversations about my new favorite game and learning from the experienced folks!

Welcome to the site @Maxallowedstrokes.

Welcome from Michigan.   Glad you found our site.  

Post often, Read the "How To" section and if you are so inclined, post a swing video.   The people here are mostly friendly, the admins keep everyone in check and there is a lot of great instructional information.   

I think it's great you have plans to include your son.

Welcome. I also started playing around the end of last season. It truly is an addicting hobby. So far my favorite local course in North Ga is Callahan golf links. I'm not sure where in Ga you are but if you're around Northwest Ga we should get together and play a round. I've yet to break 100 so you have nothing to worry about lol. Top score so far was 104 at the Elk's lodge in Calhoun. Good luck and enjoy!

Thanks everyone!

I play at Callahan pretty regularly, it's my favorite course so far. Fairways of Canton is also a good course, it's not even 5 minutes away from Callahan. I live in Canton so both are pretty close.

Look into joining ClubCorp. They have a lot of good courses within 20 min of you. Polo, White Columns, The Manor....

I plan on going to Callahan most likely this Friday. If not then, sometime this weekend. I haven't played in at least a month so I'm itchin'!!
