Welcome to From the Rough

Welcome to From the Rough! Like a lot of you, I'm a mid/high-handicapper (a 19 as of today) who got the golf bug BAD a few years back. I did not grow up playing golf. Actually, I was and am a musician (now in the business side of music) and I played guitar semi-professionally for many years before work obligations and, well, life took me "off the road" for good. Having grown up in a musical home, by the time I was in college at Trinity College in Hartford, CT, I was the guitar equivalent of a single-digit handicap, I suppose. Thus far, I've had a harder time getting my handicap down than I did playing music, but I'm still a maniac for the game and play all the time, wherever I can.

I wanted to start this blog for beginning through advanced-intermediate golfers who love the game to hang out and talk about golf gear, great golf courses, travel and, of course, the PGA tour. So welcome, come on in, and let's get started. Fore!
