Hey everyone, have seen a few posts from here over the years and enjoyed them, thought I'd finally setup an account.  The first time I swung a golf club I was 10 years old.  My dad had a spot in our apartment where he would hit wiffel balls off the carpet into a curtain.  I remember immediately loving the feel of a golf swing and in particular the sound the club made when it grazed the carpet just right.  I would play for hours in our improvised hitting bay and, although I didn't play anything resembling actual golf until much later in life, I consider that the genesis of my obsession with this great game.  I played the game casually for 10 years, then a few years ago began taking it more seriously and am now a certifiable golf nut.  I think I'll fit in nicely here.

And I'm in San Diego. Is that Isla Vista as in north of Santa Barbara/Goleta ?

 

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

I’m in south OC now, but was in IV for 4 years. I’ve heard San Diego has a great resident golfer program.

"South OC" is a challenge for us to guess right ? San Clemente ?

I'm not sure what you mean by "resident golfer" but San Diego has a lot of affordable options for the weekend golfer.

If any of you occasionally get up to OC we have several decent courses. I recently started playing again after about 20 years away from the game. It’s been nice revisiting all the courses I used to play and exploring some new ones. Still a bad golfer, but I am enjoying it more now.

I’d be up for a SoCal gathering.

So many new people, how many are from the LA basin, how many from SD and OC?

Would a gathering in OC make sense? 

Could we plan another one @Golfingdad? I suddenly find myself with some time for these things since my kids are pretty busy in school.

I'd certainly be up for one.  Maybe start a discussion, and of course include @tristanhilton85 and @mvmac and all of the other local guys we can think of.
