I'm a beginner that is trying to learn the game of golf. I haven't played a round yet, but I go to the driving range whenever I get the chance.

I've paced myself buying clubs and have tried focusing on the ones that I have. I currently have a 2007 Taylormade Burner Driver, 4-9,SW,&PW; Taylormade Burner Plus, and a Odyssey White Ice Two Ball F-7 putter.

Since Christmas is around the corner I would like to ask for a club or two. I'm not really sure what to ask for. What would be some good suggestions? Whatever I choose it will probably used since I am just trying to feel my way around now.

Thats what confuses me. I don't know what to focus on. If I got one club would it be better to get a 3W or 3H?

5w or 3/4 hybrid. You are looking for a club for long par 3s and 2nd shots on par 5s.

Only if you can hit the 4 iron. There are a lot of guys out there that hit the 4/5 iron about the same distance.  For those guys you buy the hybrid. Personally I prefer the 5 wood to the hybrid but that is a personal choice/failing.

Hitting the ball is problem I have, but that's not exclusive to my 4 iron. LOL

You might try a 5W for starters. It will carry a bit longer than a hybrid, but you can still use it out of light rough. With just one longer club other than the driver, you will get plenty of time to practice it and use it. This will get you through the first season.

Next season, try to visit a golf expo and hit a variety of longer clubs. This will give  you an idea of which ones would benefit you, looking ahead to Christmas 2013.

Focus, connect and follow through!

      Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By billchao ·

      It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.

      Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄

      And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.

      He shot -5 with a bogey on the last hole. Those Monday Q events are seriously tough to get through. Lots of very very good players play in those, including normally a fair few tour players who've lost their cards, including past winners. It is a small sample size, but he also just broke one of Tiger's records (youngest ever to be ranked one in AJGA if memory serves). He's the best 15 year old in the world at the moment. He's also pretty small and skinny - if he grows and fills out a bit and gets stronger, he could be a serious force to be reckoned with. He may of course also go off the boil and struggle or his swing may not last his growth or something, so it's not like he's odds on to make it or anything like that. I think it will be interesting to see how he progresses and if (big if granted) he progresses well, then he will be quite the prospect.
