Greetings THP. I discovered this site some weeks back and lurked for a while, and now I look forward to posting and getting involved in the community.
A little about me:
I discovered golf a little over 5 years ago in May of 2010, and have been hooked ever since. However it wasnt until last year that I made a conscience effort to practice and improve. Im only down to a 14 handicap, so I have a ways to go, but I hope to improve even more so this year. My biggest problem is getting off the tee, and breaking my over-the-top open clubface during my swing. I recently injured my left wrist, so when it recovers (hopefully soon) I'm hoping to be able to get in more practice time.
Technically Im in the Pearland area, but Ive played at various courses throughout Houston. My home course is Golfcrest in Pearland.
Im looking forward to competing in local tournaments/events if I can get some good practice in. Ive discovered the Golf Channel tour and the HAGA, but the one I have my eye on is a new one in this area under Golfweek. Its small but growing, and as soon as I recover I'll be at my first event (if I make it in time). Im hoping to find (or start) threads on here about local tournaments, as well as get a chance to participate in some of the THP events Ive read about on here. I did see one thread about Houston, but Im not sure how often they do outings.
I do have one question - since we are well into the year, is it still worthwhile to join the Albatross Club? If possible I'd like to take part, but if the window is kind of closed for a new member I can wait until next year.
To bring this essay to a close, Im glad to be here and look forward to contributing. Ive been scavenging different golf forums and sites for a while, and none of them seemed as comfortable or enjoyable as this one appears. Wish I would have joined sooner, but glad to get started.

nice intro, and yes the Albatross Club is always worth joining, it is about a few perks for THPers and about helping The Folds of Honor, join and you wont be sorry.
