Nice! Ask him what he recommends in terms of clubs!

Remember to take it as a compliment when your playing partners call you a sand bagger next spring.
Please? And I'm making my reservations, stasera!
Congratulations!

Thx. A wonderful experience and I think I am getting rid a lot of my bad habbits and motions and learning new ones that are much more reliable, says Air, who is on a lunch break before session nr 2 today.
In your case, your scores will be going down faster than your handicap, and you will be winning all the bets! You probably will feel guilty, just like our friend City, and won't be able to sleep at night.

I do forsee some / a lot of improvements (they have already appeared). The big task is to keep all this intact and build on it during a LONG winter, so my old bad habbits don't ever dear to reappear!!
A sand bagger is a player that uses various tricks to keep his handicap significantly higher than his scoring ability. Like having a couple of deliberate quadruples on 17 and 18 since there's a tournament coming up in a few days. Like "forgetting" to register friendly games that brings the handicap down. This way the sandbagger stays "competitive" in handicap tournaments.
At worst it is cheating and at best it is cheating *just* a couple of strokes.
In a tournament in our club here in TX earlier this year, the winner posted net scores of 56 and 60. That's sandbagging of the worst kind. I was mildly shocked when he even got a price for putting up such scores. In Norway he would have been kicked out of the tournament after the first round and probably been reported to the national golf association as well.
If you play really well and have true progress people may still call you a sand bagger, but usually with a smile on their face then.

And what have you "apprenended," or what has been genuine insight for you? Details, young man!
