Hello

[DrakeyDistiller]

Hi, new to Sand Trap. Reside West Coast UK North England. Play Links Golf, Carry 7 clubs, constantly changing setup. 55 yo, started age 11, took 25 years out for family. Back with renewed vigour!

planning some Scottish road trips, have house on Islay so anyone fancying playing The Machrie and then visiting 8 Whisky Distilleries on the island.

Minimalist golf very important to me, need the health benefit, love to make 7 clubs fit any course. Never ride a cart. Ive never had a handicap, not interested in competition, only interested in the pure strike of the ball, flight and shot shape. I’m a very average golfer. Just love it.

The list of clubs that I’m own is ridiculous - currently on lookout for ping eye 2 becu!

I’m a Whisky Distiller in North Wales and I’m looking to retire to Arran - 7 courses on one island!!!!?

Shiskine Golf Club is the aim, 12 holes of perfection, love The Golfers Journal, love No Laying Up podcast and The Cut, love book recommendations on history and vintage stuff.

Happy to be in the Sand Trap, reading all your posts will be fun. Thanks for having me

Welcome to The Sand Trap. I removed the links due to our policies on promotion. But we'd love to have you stay around and talk golf and even whiskey! Although, my acquaintance with Jim Beam in college soured my taste for good I am afraid.

Welcome from Michigan, USA!  

Exciting that you are getting back into golf.   Stay around, post often.

Ta Man, I’m pretty new to forums, not a whizz by any means, but I’ll figure it. Hope I managed this reply ok. Thanks for the welcome, I think I should’ve posted my ‘Hello’ in the Welcome space but never mind. There’s a Whisky out there for everyone, you just need time, perhaps the Beam experience is still fresh in the sensitised half of the brain. It will fade. Thanks again for welcoming me.
