    Default Pom in Perth

    Hi all,

    Stumbled across the site so thought I'd say hello.

    I'm an English guy who's just moved to Perth. Only been here 3 weeks so haven't managed to get out on the course yet. In fact, thanks to a broken wrist earlier in the year, I haven't played for nearly 6 months.

    Just found out that I'll be playing in the Australian Senior Open Pro-Am in less than a month. To add to the pressure, you actually play the first two days of the competition with your chosen professional!

    I used to be a decent player (about 10 years ago) and played a couple of years on the European Challenge Tour but quickly realised I wasn't good enough and had to get a "real" job.

    Anyway, that's my story and hope to chat with you guys soon.

    Cheers,

    Steve

    Johnny - Just finished recovering from the move so haven't started looking for that yet. I'll post another thread when I do.

    Timah! - Thanks and great name!

    Dotty - Looking forward to it. Drank my body weight in coffee over the last few weeks so I may as well find a decent cup.

    Welcome Baggy. Hopefully the wrist injury won't impede joining in on all the WAnker activities!

    It was my left hand Pieface.

    Not playing golf is bad enough.

    He always tries to deny it, he will get there in the end.
