Hello from 5,000 ft elevation and 9 ft of snow

Just thought I'd say "hey".

I live in the mountain benches outside Salt Lake City and am in my second year of law school. Started playing when I was 23 in April 2006. Started as a 30 hc, down to 19.1 hc now. I'm 6'10", which has made this whole golfing thing very interesting. Somehow though, I've managed not to have too ugly a swing like many tall guys.

LOVE the game, wish I would've found it earlier. Play every round by the rules (actually carry the rules and printouts of some relevant decisions in my bag). This is why the handicap is stuck at 19.1. If I played like my partners I'd be a 10. lol However, unless they ask, I make sure not to be a "RULE guy" (I learned this the hard way once, and I'll never do it again). It isn't my job to police my partners, it's my job to police myself.

Been watching the forum for a while, and I love it. It's a great place to hang out when I'm sick of listening to my Professors.

Welcome to the forum.
You may have to take a spring break away from all that snow so that you can play some golf. I hear that St. George has some great courses.
