... just a quick hello to everyone on the forum. i’m new to the site, new to golf (just started playing 11 months ago) and i love this game. i seldom keep score, usually keep track of putts and hope to become a better ball-striker. i joined this forum after watching a number of brian’s youtube videos. which i enjoyed a lot. my ego would have me thinking that i might be able to contribute to the conversation, but realistically i think i’ll probably just be a spectator, hoping to learn some from more seasoned players like yourselves. i live in southern california and often play pelican hill, strawberry farms and oakcreek. i'm thinking torrey pines and pebble beach are in my future.
