Hi everyone,

I have (very) casually gone to driving ranges over the past 15 years and only a few times on the course in that time frame (the fact that I don't really know my handicap shows how little I used to golf (my handicap is too high is all I know)). I work in an accounting firm where the majority of people (and most of the guys) golf. I'm getting into golf because this is something that people in business do. I grew up watching pro-golf at my grandfather's house on Sundays so it's not like I'm completely clueless to the game of golf.

I am currently taking private lessons from a CPGA instructor which I am enjoying. My plan is to take simulator lessons through the winter then I will hopefully have more of an understanding when the spring comes, rather than waiting for outdoor lessons in the spring and nothing doing in the winter.

I hope to learn a lot from you guys, if I can.

Welcome.  I grew up just north...in Detroit.  One of the great things about golf is that you don't have to have been born with a club in your hands.  It doesn't take years to get the hang of it.  The game, and the swing, are not that difficult to comprehend.  It does take a while to get your bearings but the basics do not change.  Bon chance.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."
