    Peek a boo... I haven't been around a lot since I broke my wrist back in August. I have just started swinging again in the last month and have played 3 rounds at golf o max. I can't wait to get out on the course. Last year was a right off for me so I'm hoping I can get back on track !

    Surprisingly enough, even though I have a bag full of new sticks (all except the putter and wedges), I'm not that anxious to get out. Spending time with my little guy is at the top of my priority list right now. Golf is on the list somewhere, I'm just not sure where.

    I am just dying to bust out flat stick on a nice green on a warm day. That's still months away, though. I'd settle for anything.

    Pretty sure it wasn't a joke. Watching my little guy grow up will make the summer shorter.

    I'm juuuust starting to think about it....rolling a few putts on the carpet at night, taking stock of how many balls, tee, gloves etc. that are kicking around the basement. Bought a kick ass Sun Mountain bag last weekend. This weekend I'll be looking to buy a vice and some re-gripping equipment so that I can regrip my clubs.

    Once I get Jr's hockey season out of the way, it will be all ahead full for golf season

    The itch has caused a severe case of Fridayitis and I am sure it will be at its highest in a few days. I will have to leave work and go cure my itch with a game at a local course.

    I'm bleeding I've been itching so bad. Just got my clubs back from downhillslider from the alterations today and went right to the range. It was so sweet.
    I've already had the putting mat out for a couple of weeks now.

    Just have to hope that grey hawk opens on the 21st as predicted. Already looking forward to a 36 hole day.

    Skipped the intro. Hello everyone, my name is Yan, I am not young, but not old... : ). I am looking forward to some good golf discussion, perhaps some tee times, deals, etc. Cheers.

    Well on a scale i'm about a 9 right now. Been snowshoeing on golf courses all winter to get my golf fix. Went to hit a few balls in Orleans with the wifey the other day and felt really good. Mind you, i had to take a few Advill after. Started my stretching routine to get back in shape.I'm calling March 25th for the first game in Ottawa area.
