Gentlemen,
I do not know all of you, actually not any of you, so I assume the term is loosely applied!
I have been reading this site for several years, and am recently instated.
Who am I?
I am a retired schoolteacher in the PNW, Olympia WA to be exact.
I started golf when I was 12, a long story, but I grew up in Grand Jct. CO, and played at Lincoln Park for 15 bucks a year!
My current index is about 4.5, and am 65 years old, Medicare, love it.
I winter in AZ, have a small house in the Verrado area, you are all welcome there. Likely, you will find it every bit as good as the higher priced Scottsdale group.
Most of my summer golf is played at Tumwater Valley, a muni in the community of the same name. It is cheap, there are no houses, there are all sorts of flora and fauna, and my friends like it.
All time favorite course played, Pebble, although it is overpriced, Mauna Kea, and several others are close. Favorite course for the money, there are many, but Redlands Mesa is a good start.
I am a west coast guy, so those of you who are east coast, and flash the fancy names, I am envious of the golf, but would not trade for the climate or lifestyle.
I enjoy this website, and hope to meet many of you in person.
I am making my first pilgrimage to Scotland next fall, I will need your advice.
