hey everyone, new poster here from new orleans. just recently was told about this forum when asking about where to go for pointers. the gf got me my first set of clubs for christmas. a walter hagen xlr set from dicks. nothing special, but I think they are doing just fine for my very first set of clubs considering we didnt even know if I would stick with it. but I have fallen in love with the game and cant wait to improve. played my first 18 holes 2 weeks ago and shot a 126, which I was pleased with. but im ready to atart getting better and hopefully this site helps

Great Game golf - but  it takes time and practice to improve ! Good luck with your new found game of golf its a blast for sure !

I play in new orleans from time to time - I also live in louisiana on the bayou. Good place to play fro you might be Bayou Barrier - open golf course but has lots of trees- but fun to play !

I am also a new member from New Orleans.  I am a very novice player and would like to work on my game right now what do you suggest I do?

1. Take lesson from older PGA professional gentlemen with +30yrs experience for only $50 a lesson for an hour. (twice a month)

2. Take a lesson from a younger PGA professional gentlemen that uses trackman but lessons are $120 a hour...ouch!  He will fit me for clubs, preferably titliest since that is what he uses. Not sure if I want to switch over since I was fitted for PING

3. Or lastly go to Golftech? they are very expensive but I don't have the exact cost. they just seem over priced.

Basically I am looking to learn the short game of golf but every lesson I take it's always on a mat and they have me doing a full swing. I know i can't dedicate time to golf like some and play every day or every other day.  But I can play 18 once a week if I'm lucky and go to the range once a week. I know I may not be great but would like to be better for sure.

Dancin~

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
