Medal Winner
Hello cyber peeps thought i would write my first post after being a reader of the forum for some time now first things first i will bore you with a bit about me. stick with it though it might get better 
my name is Lee i started playing this crazy game about 9 months ago after doctors orders to get out of the house after under going treatment for cancer for the last 7 years and leading a unhealthy lifestyle for many a year . Im 35 years young 2 wonderful boys one of which has the golf bug as well and a truly amazing wife. I an a member of HIGHPOST golf club in wiltshire and basically this is why i am on here writing this post.
Never played a sport in my life honestly how hard can golf be?? Well down to earth with a bang i came starting out getting a few lessons with a very good friend up a local field with a old set of pings just trying to hit the ball in any direction was a good start but oh no air shots where my speciality without doubt. After a few months i was ready to take it to the next level yes that's right the local pitch and putt was within my range.After alot of balls on the range and the pitch and putt i was ready to take on the big boys up my local course all pings blazing!! This is where i skip that round as i said i would never mention 144 again as the months past it got better finding i had found another illness in my life called GOLF playing on the course another say 10 times in those months then APRIL came new member ships coming out as i was 34 if i joined then it would save me £300 as i would be 35 a month later. I took the plunge IM a member of a golf club you know the place where everyone drinks wine drives posh cars wears funny clothes and hats earns mega money and talk like the royal family.
Sometimes in life i can be wrong and this was one of those times i was welcomed with open arms even though i had none of the above really. I was welcomed into a friendly world of different people men and women so it started meeting new members to play with getting out then progressing into complete-in my first 3 medal rounds to get my first Handicap yes of 28 bet hey im there im on the board ready to improve. Breaking a 100 then came after having a few lessons with the asstiant pro Chris who has been superb to me helping me the last year like a good friend would help you. Now as i write this im off 26 still trying my best getting great advice of the people i have meet though golf and have a good playing circle of friends.
Now after all that this is what i wanted to tell you about the PRO SHOP if i went into my local golf shop in town they would sell me everything even the till if the price was right but the PRO SHOP is a different story yes i have brought alot of my stuff in there but new clubs where now in order not because my ones where no good i just wanted shiny new ping G20s instead of ripping my hand off for the cash the advice they gave was just to keep the ones i have and keep learning my swing as they wouldn't improve my game really.Now in these days and time when everyone is struggling its so humbling that they didn't just take the cash but instead gave me good advice like they have been given me the last 9 months and credit has to go to my PRO SHOP thanks CHRIS AND TONY (PRO) for all your help and to every member i have had the privilege to meet.
