Hi guys,

I have finally decided to join the forum after enjoying reading the section in the magazine. Hopefully I will be able make some kind of useful contribution. Looks like a good place to hang out while waiting for the snow to melt and get back on the course.

Cheers

Welcome along. Tell us a bit about yourself. Where do you play and what's your handicap

Hi Homer,

I play at Stromness Golf Club which is in the Orkney Isles. My handicap is 5 and I have been playing for about 15 years. I am also one of the PGA junior coaches at my club. If you want to find out a bit more about the course our website is www.stromnessgc.co.uk.

Cheers

Hi guys thanks for taking the trouble to read my post and also reply, wasnt expecting such quick replies. Been having a quick scan through the rest of the forum and the banter seems to be pretty good, I wish I had joined a while ago.

Hi Sponge1980,

It's a small world as they say, I was viewing the website link you put up and noticed the Intercounty Cup against Orkney and Shetland. My brother lives in the Shetlands and plays at Whalsay Golf Club, and was in the victorious team!
In fact he posts on here, although he's away at the moment, under his forum name of Evahakool.

Will mention when I speak to him next.

Oh, and welcome to the forum, happy posting.

Golfmmad.

Sponge. Welcome and enjoy.

You are among the good guys now

Hi Golfmad,

Its a small world indeed. I haven't played in many of the Intercounty matches so I dont know if I will know your brother. If he has played in the Wilson Cup I'll probably know him. I have never been to the Whalsay course but everyone who has has told me to get myself there asap as the hospitality is legendary.

Thanks for replying, I can see already that this is going to get addicitve.

Cheers

Sponge
