Played 9 and Shot 55. All in all I'm pretty stoked. Some of you may have seen my post on the lie fitting fiasco I went through with my Ping G20s (fitting 1.5 flat when I need to be 1.5 upright). After Pings awesome customer service, I had the irons adjusted Friday and they were amazing. Hit some great approach shots and had a ton of confidence with them. Unfortunately, my putting was horrible (3 put 8 of 9 holes) and my drives are even worse (monster slicing balloon shots off the fairway 25+ yards). If I get those two things marginally better, I'll be breaking 100 easy. Can't wait for my lessons to begin in June!

Best of luck on the game.  It sounds like you are off to a great start.  I would suggest prior to the lessons that you practice with the putter.  A few well asked questions regarding putting on this forum could probably give you some great drills to help you reduce those 3 putts.

On the score card, a 6" tap in costs the same as a monster drive.  So the fastest way to reduce your scores is with the putter.  Best of luck in your journey, and be sure to keep us updated with your progress.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.
