    Default Newbie in the ranks

    I was prompted to introduce myself on the Welcome forum so here it is. I play golf at Moree (18 marker) and enjoy having a beer at the same time. Married with a kid on the way in January 08 so my golf will cease no doubt from then on . Good thing I have a wife who is reasonable at times and may get the odd Sunday morning bash in. I have developed an interest in building clubs and renovating old ones although firmly in the beginner category.

    Look forward to chatting in the future.

    Cheers,
    Tommy G

    Welcome Tommy. Any funny anecdotes involving 3oneday's exploits in Moree that you have heard?
    I'm back.

    I had my 21st there, a while ago now

    I used to swim the local river with Mick and Duck Gerard hunting golf balls and catching carp and lived around the corner from Mick Maynard.

    That is right. Thanks Chris. Looking forward to puttin the shafts in a set of Mizuno TZoid Pro II heads in the near future. Are there many amateur or qualified clubfitters on Ozgolf? I am keen to learn the ropes from those who have been there done that.

    Welcome and Happy Birthday, Tommy.

    I think you'll still be able to find a nice balance between kiddies and golf. A lot of us here have.
    If not, you can just live through our golfing adventures.

    andyP I hope to keep golfing even with a little Tommy on the ground . thanks for the great welcome to what is a great website. I look forward to spending many hours sledging and posting for some time to come. I was having a beer with Mick Gerard tonight at the Golfie and the bastard still knocks it a long way!! He remembers the Dudge Jnr well and has undertaken to let me know a few well kept secrets . Might take a dozen shouts or so as the prick can drink a beer or three.

    Tongueboy, i have only been in Moree about 6 years. Westrac (CAT dealership) were main sponsors of the Pro-Am this year and hopefully put in next year. I agree the Gerard boys still mix it up and turn it on occasionally. Will have to battle Andy Gerard for the Golfer of the year playoff in March. Might have to put the handbrake on for the rest of the year . Only kidding, pay the comp fees and have a go!
