Well I started self taught/dad teaching me. Now that I'm better I take some lessons on occasion, usually at the beginning of the season. Otherwise I play with a bunch of guys who are at my same level and we help each other.

I respect your opinion willie. I do think that Camillo is a little ridiculous. Ian Poulter is also a little eccentric. A lot of the younger golfers these days have bright colors and what I think are outfits that you wouldn't be caught dead in public with. But we also have to respect what people wear.

Wow Roger. Way to just be extremely stereo typical. Yea there are a lot of low budget courses with extremely lax dress codes, but also people out there obviously aren't that good so they just want to have some fun. They also shoot around 64 on 9 so I assume their mindset is, "Why dress up for that?" Any of the regular city courses and of course the country clubs, like I belong too, no one would ever think of wearing jeans and sometimes shorts. My idea of the thread was more of a fashion inquiry about these faux jeans (which are still dress slacks that cost over $150) than a move to a denim revolution.

Yea thanks guys. They're not actual jeans, they're still dress slacks with some cool stitching.

Hey everyone. I was watching The Turn on The Golf Channel and they showed golf pants that had jean stitching on them. They looked sweet. I think Justin Rose was wearing them. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew about them or who makes them. Thanks!

Home course is Somerby Golf Club, check the signature

Had a little tournament with some guys from the club today. I won it shooting a 69 with the best shot of the day, a hole out from 110 on a par 4 for eagle! You gotta love this game.

I'm getting pressure from my buddies to switch to a hybrid. I love my long irons though. Oh well, today I found myself hitting a whole bunch, you can get them up out of the rough pretty good...we'll see how it goes

Hey everyone. Thanks for your inputs. Sorry, I'm kind of new and didn't realize there already was a review, but it was good to hear some opinions from some members here. I guess I'll just test drive a few and see how they work, there isn't any harm in doing that now is there...Thanks again to all that replied

Hello fellow golfers. I was wondering if any of you had a chance to work with the new TaylorMade TP balls at all. I heard some good things about them but I was wondering if anyone could compare them to the Nike Platinum, HX Tour, or Pro V's, or other balls in that class. It's kind of exciting to see TaylorMade balls again after they seemed to disappear off the face of the world for a few years.

Welcome! It sounds like you're off to a great start! Good choice on starting golf, it's a great game

Hey, welcome, I'm also a pretty new member deciding to come out and contribute back to the place I've gotten tips from! Enjoy!

That quote is awesome. That's pretty much all I have to say about that!

What I believe is true about the blades is that they ARE a game improvement club. You are forced to improve your contact point with them to be able to hit them well at all. I wouldn't recommend using them to just practice because I think you might get frustrated. The advantages of the forged muscle backs are to give the player better workability because the offset is less. This also can cause some problems for people because it can be harder for a person to square the face. These clubs are a totally different feel as other members have stated. If you were planning on switching totally to muscle back blade then I would totally be for it because they would force you to improve your swing and contact point. Either that or you'd just get frustrated and quit the game, which is something I don't think anyone here wants you to do. Like aqua said, I'd think sticking with a marking tape you could see your contact and work from there. Best of luck!

Yea, I agree with Dan. That's probably the easiest and you'd be able to try out all different things.
