I realized I never put up an intro thread for myself, I bought a set of clubs last fall from Amazon so I got a couple months of play in last year and just going to start up again this year. Just put in my albatross membership this morning, seems like it's for a good cause.
Before last year, maybe played a couple of times a year with my FIL and BIL, my family doesn't play and I don't (didn't) play. I played some HS/College sports so I'm typically mildly athletic in the spectrum, but that was almost 20 years ago now. Just getting into golfing and it's fun, I'm not good but I also don't care it gives me an excuse to be outside and my wife is happy it's a low impact sport as opposed to my previous ones.
The question comes in for old / used / secondhand items. I see in the WTB/WTS forum that a lot of that stuff is high end, is there a good place for older used stuff, not talking 20 year old items but where do people typically sell their old irons / drivers / golf bags from 2-3 years ago. My wife (and I) doesn't mind that I buy stuff but at the same time doesn't want me spending a lot of money on items when they may be replaced in a year or two if/when I get better.
Glad to meet you all, once again. Everyone here has been wonderful, it's testament to the quality of the site you have and we all use.
