Place I'd recommend: http://www.swanlakeresort.com/ Went there for a lessons clinic a couple years ago. Stayed onsite, had four 3-hour lesson sessions with 3 other friends. Unlimited range, play, etc. on a couple of major-league...

Hmmm ... we have the exact same friend to play with. Moves it all over the course so he always has a shot, rolls it up everywhere, underreports hole scores ... then BRAGS to the other guys that the only reason I beat him by 2 was...

It's not difficult to share the basics of golf with a wife, gf or s.o. to a point where they can decide if it's something they'd like to continue with. Then, lessons with a teaching pro is a really good idea. For example, my wife...

I bought my wife one of the Adams 'package deals.' Clubs, putter, bag. Think it was closer to $300, though. They'll last her a good long time. Difference? Grips are thinner, shafts are really whippy (and lighter), heads are...

Agree with others. You should get MORE distance from a 2 hybrid than a 7-wood. My old Callaway Heavenwood (#7) and my TM Burner 3 hybrid are similar distance clubs. The hybrid is much more consistent for me. dave

Jess, I really like your #5 speech. Nice. Mine is gone as well. Truth is, he was always the guy finding MY ball! How to help with 'feeling' the club. I took lessons a few years back for the first time. Had the instructor...

This is my wife's 2nd full season of playing. We started off putting in the basement on carpet that represented a pretty slow green. The following spring, we went to FL where she began work on a short game. We worked until she got the...

Not here. I decided to try a dozen of the Taylormade Burner TP balls which are hit off tee with my Taylormade R7 driver. Two balls I play regularly go farther--the Callaway HX Hot and the Titleist NXT Tour. dave
