Greetings.  I have attempted to golf many times, but never tried to learn the game.  I first started playing on a regular basis while stationed in Norfolk, VA for a couple of years.  Since then I have played much less often than I would like, but have gotten back in to it with a couple of guys from work.

I went a little crazy last summer and gave up one hobby for another.  I sold my project motorcycle and used the funds to buy some new clubs to replace the 10 year old hand me downs I had.  Now I'm trying to learn the game more to justify the purchase to myself. Thanks in advance for all of the help and encouragement.

Good luck with your game.

I play around Chattanooga quite a bit at Moccasin Bend, Brown Acres, Brainerd, and Trenton Ga.

I like the course at Trenton (if I can manage to get through the 3rd through the 5th holes in the neighborhood of par). Ha ha!

I try to play Moccasin Bend fairly often.  I just moved to the area last year and found their twilight specials during the summer. Never played the Trenton course, but I think a co-worker just bought a place close.  Might have to check it out.

Thanks for the welcome all.

    • You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.
    • Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green. 
    • I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
