Returning to golf

Hi folks,

I joined up yesterday and thought i would gauge your opinions. I live in Scotland, and i played golf from the age of 8, when i finished a couple of season ago, my handicap was 8.

After finishing my diploma i spent the last summer of my junior time practising and trying to beat the one guy who was better than me, unfortunately it didn't work out. I realised after this that i had complete and utter burn out from the game, and coupled with other factors i decided to take some time off.

I still remained friends with all my golfing buddies and recently i have begun to get a little feeling for the game again, given the fact that the season is starting again soon.

Have any of you all ever been in this situation? What was it like going back to your club after time away? People's reactions etc.

Thank you for listening,

Pete

A handicap of 8 is high for a Scotsman , you need to get out to the course more!
If you are 18/19 years old, there are many more things in life to discover, but you will return to the greatest game.
