Well gents. I casually played (a couple times a year with friends) for 5 years, and have finally decided to start keeping score.
This year I've played 19 rounds of 18 and 6 rounds of 9. My worst score being 120+ for 18, and 67 for 9.
I bought some TaylorMade burner 2.0s, a Razr extreme driver, and a Colloway diablo hyrbid 3, and oddysey putter to force myself to take it a little more seriously. I took a few lessons to help with my swing, and straighten out my drive, and I have made some pretty good progress.
I broke 50 on 9 two weeks ago, and did it again this weekend (47 and 49 respectively). While I haven't quite broke 100 yet (105 being my closest), I am pretty sure I've had more fun playing than anything since soccer in highschool. It's safe to say that I've found my new hobby.
My questions for all you lifers: How often do you buy new clubs? How often do you still lose a ball? Do you ever take trips just to get to nice courses, or do you take clubs with you on trips to hit a course while already out?
