New member from DFW here. Been lurking for a few weeks checking out the forum. Seems like a well-mannered forum compared to most. I've played since I was about 9 but REALLY started playing this year. Last year my goal was to break 90 and that happened and this year my goal is to break 80. Finally did it yesterday at a 5640 yd., par 71 course close to me. Shot a 77 with my first double-bogey in 5 rounds on the front 9 (38) and 4 bogeys on the back (39). Missed every birdie putt but scrambled my tail off. Look forward to getting insight and talking this wonderful game with you guys. I've been playing 2-3 time per week and finally bought my first set of clubs (all others were hand-me-downs). Anybody in DFW wanting to meet up and play just let me know, I've got a pretty flexible schedule. Happy golfing to all!
