Hello Everyone,

I've been reading this forum for around a month now and have found some useful stuff which has really helped me. I first hit a Golf Ball on the 20th December while on holiday in Dubai and since then I've been hooked, I'm completely new to Golf and couldn't even tell you anything about the rules or players etc. so please bear with my ignorance.

As I said, I've only started recently and I'm still a little unsure as to what the hell I'm doing but all I know is I sure love hearing that sound and seeing that ball soar when I hit it right and that's what I want to see more often! I've always been fairly sporty and pretty quick to pick up new talents and skills however I'm preparing myself for a long slog of at least 12 months before I get anywhere near respectable.

At the moment I've got myself a set of Callaway Diablo Irons and I'm trying to get to a fairly good standard with them before I start to touch anything else, although it is very difficult to resist the lure of the Drivers but I guess that's a Macho thing! I'm currently hitting a 6 iron around 160 yards when I connect truly however that is perhaps one in 5 shots, with 2 out of 5 hitting around the 140-150 mark and then the last 2 disappearing or rolling into no mans land!

Anyway I'm sure that's enough for now and I look forward to gleaming as much instruction from you guys as possible

Regards

Dave

      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.
