Hello from Vancouver

Hey guys,

Long time reader of these forums so I figured I'd sign up. I live in the burbs outside of Vancouver and play about once/week.

I feel like I've plateaued at a 8.6 Factor. I have a lousy swing and poor fundamentals but I love to golf whenever I can. I also love the equipment side of golf and have been a bit of a club ho since I started golfing a few years ago.

Welcome to WRX Beav!

I've joined earlier this year and can assure there are some really good folks around here. Getting to know a few virtual golf friends is a lot of the fun of it. Great many Canadians on WRX, too. Have fun and see you out there in one of the forums one day soon.

Hey Beav, Wally here. (Sorry, could not resist)

I am a Vancouverite but I am now living in France.

Welcome to being a member of GolfWRX! As you can see, I joined a long, long time ago. There is always great info here and advice when you want it. I enjoy equipment as much as anybody but I am definitely not an equipment ho, given that I am only playing on my 3rd set of irons in 33 years of playing (3rd set purchased last year) and only my 2nd or 3rd putter (I forget) though my woods change more often.

Which burb are you in? I used to play a lot at Meadow Gardens, Peace Portal, Seymour mostly.

For our fellow Canadians, a sweet offering is the Footjoy My joy where you can personalize your shoes. I am putting on my Xmas list shoes that I have already "created" on the site, which are FJ Icon bicycle toe, with red and white detailing and then on the back, personalized section, the Canadian flag on one shoe and the initials of the club where I learned the game (through observation, as a caddie). Pretty sweet for when I play competitions here in France and next year at St Andrews when I go for a week.

In fact, you may even be able to tell where I learned if you recognize the photo of my profile (yeah, it's blurry but you still get the idea) and even my profile name!
