Okay, so for as long as I can remember I wanted to learn how to golf, and this summer I actually decided to give it a try. I went out for the first time about a month and a half ago with some friends, using a set of borrowed clubs and completely stunk up the joint but loved it! It's now become my number 1 obsession (with the exception of my wife and kids of course). I try to go to the driving range at least once a week and last Friday I got to golf Thanksgiving Point (one of the nicest, and hardest courses in Utah, see pic below) for free (paid for by 1-800 CONTACTS! I love where I work!) It was amazing! Normally it would have cost $100 per person to golf the full 18 with a cart, but me and 3 fellow co-workers got to go for free. We had a great time, but I quickly realized something... I'm terrible at golf!
I now have my own set of clubs and keep working at it, but seriously there were times when I literally wanted to just drive around the course in the golf cart and leave the golf to the other guys I was with. I'm pretty decent off of the tee, but terrible with my Irons... So, if anyone is interested in helping me out I'd love to have some regular golf buddies to go golfing with.
I seriously shouldn't be so hard on myself, I mean I've only gone golfing 2 times in my entire life, but I really need to get better... If anyone wants in, East Bay in Provo is only $16 with cart on weekends for 9 holes...

David would totally go with you... and be just as good ;) He really wants to start golfing, but he swings like a baseball player. You should come down this summer and go with him. It's super cheap in the summer because you feel like you are going to die, but you should go with him anyway. I think it's great you have taken it up. Jerry, Margie's husband, is a big golfer. He might be able to give you some advice... when he gets back from a week in Hawaii.
I can't help you, because I have never been. My husband use to enjoy it so I bought him some golf clubs a few years back and he has used them like once. Teresa's daughter Kaycie is taking lessons right now so she can be on the team at school, maybe you can pass for a high schooler and get lessons. All the guys usually go on Labor day if you want to join them. You'll probably better then Jason by then.
