    Smile Hello from a newbie

    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

    Welcome Fiona.

    I can understand you wanting to leave The Hackers Paradise. The guy who runs it ...

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

    Welcome again. Good to have you here.

    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!

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

    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!!!!
