Hi everyone,
I’m AJ and found this forum by googling a lot of golf stuff. Currently not a member anywhere and haven’t been really playing golf since I quit playing in 2006. The golf bug hit again after going to the range and hitting it better than I did before I quit. Not a member anywhere yet but I go to the Emerald Lakes and KDV driving ranges every week, and try to play as many holes as my body will allow on Mondays.
This forums got a lot of great content and I’ll likely be lurking more than contributing haha. (I know a lot but my knowledge is probably as outdated as my sticks)

Welcome AJ. Were you a member somewhere in your previous golf life?

[AJL]

Yeh I was a member at Surfers Paradise Golf Club for about 10 years as a cadet and junior member, and that’s where I’ve been playing on Mondays.

Let's see if the bug has hit hard enough, and will last long enough for you to sign up for a membership again.

i played quite a few pennant rounds against Surfers in that era - 2002-2004

Hi Courty 👋
@markTHEblake - I wasn’t in the pennant team haha, only the interclub team. I think my handicap was between 5-10 during that time and everyone in the pennant team was off less than 5. A few of them even turned pro.
