Hey guys I am a new member here. Just getting back into golf after being a junior member for 2 years 17 years ago. I am terrible at the game. Hitting over the 100's every round. I am getting no height in my shots even with a PW Lol. I even bought clubs that are designed for high handicappers and are menat to help you get the ball in the air. Bazooka Tour edge irons. I can not hit a wood to save myself so normally play a 6-7 iron off the tee. Sometimes I hit the ball great then the next shot I take you would never think I have played golf before. I have no handicap. Any help tips you can give me would be wonderful. Cheers Lee

First, get a video camera.

Second, set it up so that it is facing down the toe line when you swing. Video tape your swing. Set up the camera so it is facing you and video tape your swing. Post it here on the forum in the "My Swing" section.

Third, wait for the advice and be prepared to put in some meaningful work :-D

Basically there is now way we can give you tips because we don't know what exactly is going on. This isn't the golf channel or golf digest here. No absent minded lets throw darts blindly tips. You came to the right place if you really want to improve your game, but it will take some work on your part.

Also, welcome to the forum, hope you stick around!!!!

You should post a video of your swing. There are multiple causes for low ball flight and as a beginner I'm sure there are other issues with your swing. I believe the correct forum section to post it in is member swings and will allow better players to help you out. Also, it's probably a good idea to take a few lessons at some point (either in person or through an online service like evolr). Until you are able to get do either, I would suggest looking at the 5 simple keys videos (can find on YouTube or here) as they have helped many of us immensely.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.
