Hello from Kansas.

[Matt10]

Hey guys, name is Matt; 22yrs old, about a 13 handicap from Overland Park, KS.

Been playing the game for just over 3 years and have loved it from the start. Previously played semi pro and pro soccer in Asia, but suffered a couple of injuries that set me back for a while. During rehab in Thailand, I found golf to be a cheap ($10 a round) and convenient outlet. I was never great there, but was definitely hooked - even let myself go a bit.

Played to as low as a 5 handicap when I came back to the US, but a back injury and overall paralysis by analysis of my swing (countless of idiotic videos), ruined my approach to the game.

After getting right in the head and dedicating the end of the 2007 and hopefully beginning 08 season to the teachings of Dan Shauger and Mike Austin - I think I'll be a better player soon enough. Currently in the process of setting up lessons with a Wichita coach who teaches Shauger's 21st century golf swing; so I cannot wait for that.

Phew! That's enough babble - back to work...or browsing more forums. Take care.
