Skiing is my life during the winter, but when the snow melts and most kayak and hike, I find myself at the golf course just about everyday. Anyone else the same way? If so,Whats your handicap? Clubs you use?



I have a 12 handicap.
Taylormade Burner 2.0 Driver, Dunlap 3,5 wood, Dunlap wedges, Taylormade Burner 2.0 4-PW irons.

Takes about 2-3 weeks, and you can get it reshafted. Go wherever you bought it or go to a clubfitter to get it reshafted.

reshafts take about an 30 minutes to do, then about a couple hours for the epoxy to dry...

Golf is my life. I have been playing for as long as I can remember, work at a golf course, and compete in almost every tournament you can think of, like NEPGA and even just high school matches.
My mom is a certified PGA professional and she is sponsored (not fully) by Taylormade and King Cobra. I have a
Taylormade Burner 2.0 Driver
Taylormade RBZ 3 wood, and 7 wood
King Cobra SZ Irons
Ping Wedges (ofcourse)
and a Cleveland Putter
^ My favorite setup I have ever had without a doubt.
Try it out!
Oh, and my last updated GHIN Card puts me at a handicap of 6.

tis a fine line from kinda tipsy, just buzzed enough to be nice and loose and hit them easy, to so wasted you can hardly see, much less hit straight

I am a Class A Member of the PGA up here in Keystone, Colorado. I work for both courses here. I never play golf though. Ha just teach when necessary and work the counter. I will run a golf course someday and have time in the winter for my skiing. Wish I had more time to play...
