Jimmy,
Congradulations on picking up the sticks. It is an addictive game, and all of us here are in the same boat as you.

I first played golf when I was 13 and really enjoyed the 144 strokes (inc. OB's lost balls and Penalties) it took me to navigate 18 holes. I stopped completely through HS and College...

Three years ago I took it back up and shot on average 109's that year.
I vowed to improve and Reduced next years scoring average to 93.
last year I made big progress and averaged low 80's and got my official Ghin to +10

This year I agian hope to reduce it by half. to 5 or so.

GOOD LUCK!
its all about the short game.
gary
