Way to go Dan, and congratulations. It is the fun part of the game, and learning to hit a little further back isn't so bad. Get used to the tournament green speeds. Also, there's more driver/short iron holes then chase holes and the par three's are a bit longer, but Aces are not out of the question by no means. Just play as much as you can, and you'll be competing in know time. Its all about having fun first and foremost.
