My name is Justin Hansen and I am just your average golfer. I started playing golf in June of 2008 and was quickly hooked. Begin extremely competitive I started looking up everything I could about the game and how I could get better at it. Of course none of it helped as quickly as I would have liked (sound familiar). It was then that I realized how a long road it was going to be.

I am lucky enough to have a friend who is a golf pro so I get some encouragement, advice, and much needed lessons from him. Without that I think I might be a total disaster. Even with his help I have yet to break 100 with a 104 being my best round to date. My goal for this upcoming season (2009) is to break 95 but my more immediate goal is to break 100. [Update 6/6/2009] I have just broken 100 for the first time shooting 97 at West Sayville Golf Course. You can view the announcement post here. My next goal has been changed from 95 to 90 since it is so early in the season.

I started this site to chronicle my time playing and learning golf and hopefully be able to help some people along the way by making mistakes and reporting back on them so you don’t do the same thing. I look forward to any and all comments and want as much feedback as possible.  Please feel free to use the contact page to let me know how I’m doing and what you would like to read.

Good luck on the course!
