Hello All

[stevelockie]

Hi All,

just introducing myself! After lurking for sometime, I decided to take the plunge and register for this most enlightening forum!!

Live near Stirling, play golf at Muckhart.
Enjoying golf at the moment, had quite a bit of coaching from Kevin Craggs over the winter. This season has seen my handicap reduce to 11, from a "bad" 14.

Can't stop buying (and then having to sell) golf clubs, damn ebay, makes it so easy!

Hi stevelockie

good to have you on the board and even better to hear you're working with one of our Top25 coaches Kevin Craggs, a top man and fine golf coach. Good to hear you have come down three shots already - keep us updated with your progress

Hi Steve

Welcome to the forum.

Yo yo Steve,

Good to have you onboard - definitely the best golf site for easy chat and proper golf members!

How loing have you been playing the game?

 

[stevelockie]

Started playing when I was 9. Played loads as a schoolboy, then got into martial arts.
Studies and taught various forms of martial arts through my 20's. Work/family/injury meant minimising training, and I got more time for golf. Been playing seriously again for the last 3 years.

Sorry it's a bit of a long-winded answer!

Thanks Mike!

Yes, Kevin's a great guy, have to say I did test his patience though!!!
Had the full golf overhaul from him, 6 months - lessons every two weeks.
Really worked wonders, coming down 3 shots doesn't tell the full story, my whole game has transformed.

Good to have you on board.

Know Muckhart well, too. Used to get invited up there every year for a golf day. Lovely scenery and some cracking holes. A wee undiscovered gem.
