Hello everyone, I just joined minutes ago.  Obviously I live in PA, always have.  I am near Punxsutawney, I am sure you have heard of that.  Its where Groundhogs Day is held every year.  I am 36, work full time and I am also a full time student.  I am 5 months away from a degree in Sports and Recreation Management.  I work at a country club in town and you guessed it, I get free golf.  Free cart, free driving range, no tee time needed either :-)   I just started playing in late April.  My first time out I separated my left shoulder driving on hole 13.  I had to take a month off.  So in reality, I have only been playing a month.  I try to play each day but its tough having to play where you work because they always find something for you to do.  Anyway, I will certainly be on here daily looking for tips etc.

I hope I'm not the only one but tonight my game totally an I mean totally fell apart. Suddenly I appeared to have never touched an iron before. I was just terrrrible. Not bad, terrible! I ended up throwing my 5 iron off a tree an breaking it after hitting about 100 balls at the range. I was hoping to get it figured out but I never did. Just terrible. I'm in a bad mood right now.

"Here comes the putter throw...wait, he's restrained himself..."

Welcome aboard. Try to control that temper...you've been playing for 2 months. You're gonna be bad for a while.

It's very real. And very normal. Be patient.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      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.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
