Hello,

Just joined and saying "hi". I've (tried) to play off and on for most of my life (42 now) but never consistent or serious. Played a round of golf at Westfields with colleagues on rentals and got hooked. So next, I recently went out and grabbed some pre-owned clubs (shoes, gloves, etc) and will now look to start practicing and learning. I'll be lurking more than posting for a while.

Thanks for all of the great information!

Thanks all for your warm welcome!

My goal for this fall/winter is to practice, practice and practice at the range and maybe a round of two as we hit the low season. I'd like to look into getting a lesson or two as I'm only self-taught (except I twist my head back to help keep my head down after I heard Niklaus suggest it..lol). I have started to read through some of the educational threads and I'm sold!

What makes it better is I'm trying to get my two girls (4 and 9) into it too. I took them to the range last weekend with their kids irons from Dicks and they loved it! Nothing better than a family affair.
