    Exclamation Hi! New golfer here...

    Hi, there.
    I may actually be a little premature in even joining the forums here, as I haven't actually played a round of golf yet , but what the heck.

    I am planning, however, to give the game a try. I was gifted an ancient (read: woods made of wood) set of clubs, I've just finished reading Golf for Dummies (stop laughing, I'm serious), and I've been to the range a few times.

    At first glance, this seems like a friendly community for me to harass and assault with stupid questions, and perhaps even find someone to play golf with once in a while (unfortunately, none of my friends play golf).

    So here I am and there goes the neighbourhood!

    Just half of your posts?

    Welcome to the new golfer. Real wood woods eh? Well let me say, if you read the poll I put together you will see there are actually some of us old farts who have used real wood drivers and 3 woods!
    Of course that does not mean we are all old. Just Indio!

    Welcome to the forum and welcome to the great game of golf.

    Welcome, This site is awesome and so is the game, although it may cause major emotional meltdowns occasionally. It is still worth it.

    Ian Poulter? I was thinking more like Jesper Parnevik or Duffy Waldorf!

    Have you seen Poulter?

    Perhaps Jonny Miller? Let's chip in and buy Junior a wide white belt!

    Hey Hey, I am 51 and I have a WHITE BELT! It is not a wide one like JM used to wear but it sure looks fine with my plaid shorts! Plus I just bought a pair of white shorts. Wardrobe is near complete now!

    Some of us have fashion sense and some just do not!
    My opinions are my own, I do not follow others.

    Have you seen the commercials for Old Navy? They state "Get your FASH ON"
    I fall into the category!

    Last year at the Closing Banquet I was awarded the BEST DRESSED AWARD, even though it did not exist!

    I like to look good when I play, I like bright colours. Some guys wear the same navy blue shorts every Sunday with the same sweat stained hat. Not me!

    Look good, feel good, play good.
