Putter: However far away the hole is :)

I’m 15 years old and I have an 8.1 handicap.
It should be lower, but I always throw away a few short game strokes, along with about one drive that I try hitting too hard and end up topping.

I play at the Bridges Golf Club in San Ramon, CA. It’s the 4th hardest course in Northern California.

I go to De La Salle high school. Best Sports school in the country. Last two years, we’ve won state and this year, came in 3rd.
I played on the JV team last year (freshman) because I had only been playing golf for about 1/2 year.

I’m pretty much self taught. I took a few begginer lessons, and just played on my own for a bout a year, and I’m now training with a great coach as I’m playing in more tournaments and stuff.
My coaches website: http://www.systemgolf.com/

I’m a member of the JGANC (Junior Golf Association of Northern California). They have lots of tournaments year round.

I think that’s about it!

Tell me about yourself the same way I did.

    Putter: Try to hit before and went about 50 yards in any direction
    Note: is it odd that I hit any club in a very wide range of distant?

    I’m 40+ years old and I have 6 handicap although some round I can hit Par 36.
    It should be lower, but I tend to screw up last hole esp. when things are going well.
    I play in most courses in Thailand and Indonesia although my home course is Lamlukka 36 holes championship course, and Chulachom Klaw military academy at Khao Changog in Thailand.
    I work very hard and can mostly play once a week, although sometimes I took a 15 day vacation and played everyday.
    I’ve played in many tournaments, but won only about three cups.
    I think that’s about it!
    Tell me about yourself the same way I did. OK, I did. This is longest answer I’ve ever did. Hell, it’s golf, I like it. Have fun and a good life, will you?
