Thanks for all the welcomes, everyone.

Is there a THP club around the Denver area?

Hello everyone. I've been a member for a week or so and a lurker for longer. I wanted to say thank you for all the great information.

I'm just beginning the game at 43. I went on a company outing back in October, having never played before and absolutely loved every minute of playing 9 holes! Some of you guys might call bs on me, but during those 9 holes I was able to hit it on the green 4 times from 100+ yards (beginners luck I know), I hit one 6i shot 190 when I caught it just right, and a 260 drive when I caught it right too...many of my shots were worm burners though, haha. I learned how to swing the night before from a YouTube video...it seemed to work out decent.

Anyway, that gave me enough incentive to take up the game and really learn it, so now I'm the proud owner of a set of TM Rsi 1 irons, Callaway Alpha 815 driver, Adams Tight Lies Ti 3 wood, TM SLDR 3 Hybrid, and an Odyssey putter. Hopefully my choices in gear were solid for a beginner. I gained my info from reading many THP posts and YT videos.

Thanks again, and hopefully I'll get a chance to tag along with some of you experienced Colorado gentleman at some point soon.

Welcome to THP!

I don't doubt for a second you were able to hit those shots. When I was a teenager, only one of my friends golfed (not including me). We would go to the driving range and work hard(ish) on improving our swings. One day our other friend, who had never swung a golf club in his life, tagged along. Within a few minutes he was launching shots well past my own. His swing was ugly as hell, but he made solid contact. He also contacted the ground pretty solidly, too, on some swings.

In other words, some people can just step into it easier than others. I wish that were me!

Welcome! Lots of great guys here in Denver. Look forward to teeing it up with you when it warms up.

That is phenomenal for a beginner - well done.

Thanks guys. I'm not a golden child, by any means, but I've always been very athletic and was a competitive powerlifter in my younger days, so maybe that helps.

I have a TON to learn though!...looking forward to getting out with some of you all when it warms up around here!
