Hello from a newbie

[fiona]

Hi All,

I'm based in Brisbane and am relatively new to golf and am loving it. I only got my first set of golf clubs in April this year. I benefited from a great neighbour who was upgrading and gave me her old set. I am having lessons regularly, which has been an enormous boost to my game.

I was a member of a U.S. golf forum called The Hackers Paradise [not sure if anyone has heard of it]. Unfortunately, I didn't find the promised "paradise". Enough about that though, as I am confident that OzGolf will be a great new home for me.

Cheers, Fiona

Wasn't that the one that Razaar quit from ?

Anyway, welcome Fiona 8), you can never have too many Queenslanders !!! :roll:

Welcome....you and Razaar should get along well with your dislike of Hackers paradise.

Welcome Fiona.

I can understand you wanting to leave The Hackers Paradise. The guy who runs it ... http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/blehnet/plzdie.gif

I see there's a few girls registered here now. I'll mind my Ps & Qs.

Welcome again. Good to have you here. http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/blehnet/biggrin.gif

Thanks 3oneday!

It was. I know Razaar from that other site. The owner is very paranoid guy. At least something good came from it, I met Razaar!

Thanks Toolish! My parents taught me if you are going to do something, you should do it right!

They are great clubs, it's only the user that holds them back!

Thanks! I nearly fell off my seat laughing!

Hey Fiona, it's about time you spent some quality time with us Aussies. :lol:

The following is for all the tossers who gave me an unusual welcome.
1) Pick your favorite number between 1 and 9
2) Multiply by 3 then
3) Add 3, then again Multiply by 3
4) You'll get a 2 or 3 digit number….
5) Add the digits together
Now Scroll down ..............
Now with that number see who your ROLE MODEL is from the list below:
1. Einstein
2. Nelson Mandela
3. John Howard
4. Kevin Rudd
5. Bill Gates
6. Jack Nicklaus
7. Greg Norman
8. Barack Obama
9. Razaar
10. Tiger Woods



I know....I just have that effect on people....one day you too can be like me.... :-) Believe it!


P.S.: Stop picking different numbers. I am your idol, just deal with it!!!!

[BrisVegas]

fiona - put some distance between yourself and this razaar clown. :wink:

You look younger than the female members at my club Fiona.

Welcome!

[Dotty]

Welcome Fiona.

I predict you'll buy at least 5 new clubs, a carry bag, a Puma belt and a pair of shoes that don't fit, before the year is out.

[markTHEblake]

The owner is very paranoid guy. At least something good came from it, I met Razaar!

you call that a good thing? :?

[Maca]

Hi Fiona my fellow newb. Thanks for coming along and taking the focus away from me so quickly... 8) Now I can really get some serious lurking done. :) Barack Obama is my Idol!!!

[Choppa]

Thanks. I'm guessing your into bikes. What have you got?

Yep yep. Probably should have a golf related avatar.

I ride a black '07 VFR 800. Do you know it?

[Choppa]

What stoopid bloody thing?

This......

1) Pick your favorite number between 1 and 9
2) Multiply by 3 then
3) Add 3, then again Multiply by 3
4) You'll get a 2 or 3 digit number….
5) Add the digits together

[Eag's]

Welcome Fiona, you won't find this place as uptight as some sites, but we do have our share of clowns though :roll:

[fiona]

VFR's are great bikes. One of my mates used to have one and he let me take for a ride. I have a Kawka ZZR. It's only a 250, but it's been great bike. I just don't ride it much these days!

[Golfnut]

Big WA welcome Fi....how do you find the Slingshots?

[Courty]

Hi & welcome!

[fiona]

Big WA welcome Fi....how do you find the Slingshots?

Thanks Golfnut. The Slingshots are great and I find "given my beginner status" they are fairly forgiving. I love how it feels and sounds when I hit a pure shot.

[TheNuclearOne]

Welcome Fiona, good to see a fellow QLD'er joining up!

[fiona]

Hi & welcome!

Thanks Courty!

What a surprise a new female comes on board and her welcome thread is 3 pages long within 24 hours ;)

Welcome to you :D

[Flowergirl]

Greetings Fiona. Also good to have another female on board - even if you are a Queenslander.;)

Do you have a handicap? Do you play comp or social?

If you have any trouble with the boys just let me know. They're all scared of me.:mrgreen:

[TheNuclearOne]

Within 8 hours actually hahaha.

Is this a common theme?

:-k

:mrgreen:

[Golfnut]

It was that pic Fiona posted that got me posting :)

Cool. zzr's are a good little bike to. I got this one about a year ago and have played bugger all golf since.

[Moe Norman]

Fiona - did you ask Flowergirl's permission first, berfore you passed a pic of her off as you?

:)

[markTHEblake]

If you have any trouble with the boys just let me know. They're all scared of me.:mrgreen:

I am only frightened of you cos i dont wanna lose my innocence.

:lol: Boomshakalaka!

FG can still root like a 30yo, don't forget ;)

[sms316]

Fiona,

I'm after a female's perspective on this. Do you prefer the greens to be let go a bit so the grass becomes a little longer (the way they used to be 20 years ago), or do you prefer them to be neatly cropped?

sms

[schanop]

That way of checking the line is way more attractive than Villegas's.

Welcome.

Hi Flowergirl. No handicap as yet. I'm a social player, but probably wouldn't mind getting into a comp [once I get a little better].

Thanks for the offer and I'll keep you posted!

[markTHEblake]

Fiona, you probably should hook up with Shazza, she is our leading lady on Ozgolf, and she can teach you all the important things, like swear, throw clubs, and beat the boyfriend, cos she is really good at all that stuff.

[CanuckDownUnder]

ello!

[Jarro]

Welcome fiona ...

.. it's always nice to have more ladies around :)
