Im 28 started golfing at 25 with a couple of friends, the friends did not take to golf like I did. I love It, the thing I want to know is how long did it take you to hit the ball consistently. Im not talking about direction, just to hit the ball solid. never taken lessons just a youtube swing .

I've been playing for 9 years and I still don't hit the ball consistently.

I could hit the ball "solid" the first time I ever hit a golf ball and just as long as I can hit the ball now but a lot of them were "solid" hooks that were as likely to end up in an adjoining county as on the golf course.

But I've been hitting things my entire life from the hundreds of baseballs a day in my batting cage, to driving pins at work all night with a sledge hammer, to standing in my yard for hours on end with a broom handle hitting gravel or BBs down into the woods (just to pass the time).

I'm not the man to comment, because i took a lot off lessons when i started.

The pro became a close friend. and had 1/2 rounds a week with him.

I can Highly recommend you first take some lessons to know the basics off

the swing. You can start self teaching after you know the basics.

Depends on the amount of time you want to spend to improve.  I still have occasional issue with a fat or thin shot, but I know what I did to cause it.  I recommend reading the 5 Simple Keys thread in the Swing Thoughts section.  If you are willing to put in some work, solid contact should not too long to happen.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 ·

      47+49 for a 96. Just lost it today. Two way miss off the tee. Could not hit a decent iron. Three putted like at least 8 holes. Not good when the short game is the best part of the day 😭😭

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By retoid ·

      Phillyk is very close by. Ok, I understand how the watch and tags are meant to be used, but I was just curious how it actually works. I can't really think of any other way than what I mentioned above. No worries. If it works it works. I'll probably pick one up. My co-worker mentioned a free app called 18 Birdies which offers similar services. However I personally do not like keeping my phone in my pocket while golfing, nor do I want to be clicking around on the phone while out on the course. I toss my phone in my bag and leave it there until I am done golfing. Tapping a club head to a watch seems wat more convenient.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By GolfLug ·

      Yes, but not always the case. IMHO, green speeds are a huge variable and can effect score variation from week to week or month to month significantly. Our own course that is running at about 8-9 depending on the week/day, can run up to 12 (no kidding) in peak months around certain event, and most like me score 3-4 shots higher on an average, missing a lot of 3-4 footers. There are any PCC adjustments that I am aware of. Have you every played their course? I am betting $20 you will find some answers if you haven't already.

      I would recommend spending some time at the range and film your swing. You can post it in the Member Swings thread. At the range, you can figure out how to control the driver a bit more. We can offer some pointers once you post in the Member Swings section.
