Hello everyone. First time post here. I'm not new to golf, but its been a long time since I golfed regularly. I recently started it up again. I played men's fastpitch softball for 30 years as my main hobby, but its becoming a dying sport. The younger generation doesn't have the patience to learn how to hit a fastpitch like a rise ball. They'd rather play slow pitch because they can get several hits a game.
So I finally hung up the cleats and now I want to get back into golf. I've always enjoyed the game but being a working man weekends are the only time I can play and the softball was always weekend tournaments. Now I have time to concentrate on golf. I spent several months at the range before I actually played a round. It did help as I'm actually better now than I was 30 years ago.
My immediate goal is to play bogie golf. But at some point if I get there I won't be satisfied with that. I've played 6 rounds since I started up again and after an initial 104 score I've steadily lowered my score. I took a day off work yesterday and played 18 holes. I shot a personal best 93. So I'm almost at my goal.
I worked so hard at hitting better off the tee and its payed off. I'm hitting well over half my fairways. And when I miss I'm not too far off over 240 yards down the fairway. Back in the day I was lucky to hit 25 percent of the fairways with the driver. I'm looking forward to a lot of golf and this forum looks like a good place to ramble on like I'm doing now. :comp:
