Hi,
New member of the forum and new to golf. Only played a handful of times but find the game very addictive. I took the game up as a father son activity with my 17 year old son. I have enjoyed playing far more than I expected to. He's new to the game too so our skill levels are similar and we can compete with each other on a level field.
We play 9 holes a fortnight and have been improving almost every round. We are thinking about getting memberships and playing more often.
Most of my shots are terrible but the odd one is a beauty and gives me hope.
I don't know if a beginner like me can contribute anything worthwhile here but nobody stopped me at the door so here I am.
As to my user name, every name I thought of was rubbish so I went with it....plus it describes my golf swing.

Welcome fellow addict.
Golf is, in part, a game; but only in part. It is also in part a religion, a fever, a vice, a mirage, a frenzy, a fear, an abscess, a joy, a thrill, a pest, a disease, an uplift, a brooding, a melancholy, a dream of yesterday and a hope for tomorrow. - New York Tribune, 1916.
