nearly new golfer

Hi all, just introducing myself to fellow golfers everywhere, but in particular Northern Ireland. I started playing just under 2 years ago at the age of 47(late I know), I had 1 lesson up at Knockbracken driving range, and have seen my handicap reduce from 28 to a reasonable 21. though my fellow golfers believe me to be closer to 18 I am still to be convinced. I am a member of Castlereagh golf course, but have played anywhere that has reasonable rates, and some not so reasonable with the help of a friends open fairways book. I play with a good few mates, but am always willing to go out with someone new as I feel this is the only way to improve my game. My mates and I are off to Malaga shortly to play at La Cala, we were there last year and it is absolutely wonderful though as I had only began playing and was struggling to hit the ball with any concistency I didn't appreciate it as a golfer, I'm really looking forward it it this year. Played Shandon the other day and went round in 90 my best ever score and my first time on the course, I was well pleased.

Hi Pat. Although a late comer to golf you certainly seem to enjoy yourself and congratulations on getting your handicap down so soon. I'm sure you will enjoy La Cala . I have played on quite a few courses on the Costas (Torrequabrada, El Chapparall, Malaga included) Have only visited Northern Ireland once, but was made very welcome at a course named Cairndhu. Lovely golf and lovely people. Enjoy yourself.
