Hey Folks,

I stumbled onto this forum and found the posts interesting and thought I'd join in. I've been playing a long time and my handicap has gone from 20 - 30 depending on how much golf I play in any given year.

Lately I've decided that I need to apply myself to the repeatable and technical aspects of the game i.e., equipment (Senior shafts and a high level of forgiveness), setup (Stance Minder), swing plane (Medicus Driver), Warm-up (Momentus), etc.

Since I have never been able to pull it all together over the last forty years, I decided to focus on the things you can do consistanly or buy and then put in the back of your mind. I can then concentrate on the things that remain variable.

If I learned anything over the years, I've learned that consistancy is the key to enjoying golf. Even if you shoot in the 90's if you do it consistantly, it can be a fun, positive and enjoyable experience. Once you get past the struggle and start enjoying the game you will naturally play more relaxed and your game will improve on its own. All it takes is patience and a love of the game.

Hi I joined roughly for the same reason. I have been playing for about 5 years with a handicap of 23. .I regularly shoot in the 90's and I agrre with you that it is a good positive feeling when you are consistent. Although I have been playing for 5 years I have only just come to realise how good the game actually is. I now play every weekend and if possible, during the week. It is very hard for me to buy equipment as I am left handed this is probably the most annoying part of golf for me.
In my Taylormade R7 stand bag:
Wilson staff TD5 grafalloy nano tech shaft 10.5 degree
Ram wizard Evolution 21 degree
Mizuno MX-19 steel (3-SW)
Dunlop 65i copper wedge 60 degree

swing plane (Medicus Driver)

Yeah, that tool has been really helpful for more than just the swing plane. I originally purchased it for that (would buy Refiner now because it does the same and is cheaper) and found that it actually helped with my tempo. I didn't even realize how quickly I was taking the club back.

You are right though - consistency is the key. Getting solid contact with a repeatable swing, then getting out there to hit enough balls so our muscles remember what to do is the key.
