My 1st installment

I will start by introducing myself, I am Mike, a 35 year old with about a month of golfing experience.  Follow along with my in my journey into the sport.  It all started last September when my wife opened her new cafe.  It just happened to be right off of the 1st tee at the Leisure World retirement community.  As the season continued, I noticed the friendships being made on the golf course, and decided it was something that i wanted to try.  Well this past May, I was given the opportunity to play.  I arrived that Sunday morning with a mixed bag of hand me down clubs( I am still using them) and my only knowledge being what i learned from a video game, and trust me, that doesn't translate. From the 1st shot I noticed that I could hit the ball far, but not straight, and the mission began.  I fell in love with the game that day and have been playing as much as time and money will allow.  My goal each time is to improve, and thanks to a few of the residents of the community, I have been able to get a little better each time out.  I am currently using an old set of Wilson 1200 irons, and older Taylor Made putter, Warrior driver, and random fairway woods and wedges until I can come across a decent newer set of clubs, but they work so I cant complain.  I will be going out on Tuesday, so i will update you then.  Have a great weekend.
