Yeah, i could . I'd rather trust a good teaching pro with my swing fundamentals tough. I have the best feeling about that. Different strokes for different folks.

Thanks for all the input, guys. I figure different folks will make it equally far with different approaches: Self taught vs. lessons and range rat vs. learning by playing. Gotta find out, what suits me best. I will, however, save my money for lessons. I reflected and figured, the thing that really bugs me the most about my inconsistency is, that i don't know exactly what's the reason for it. I hit a bad shot, i don't know what went wrong and it absolutely kills me . Lessons from a professional golfer will probably the best way to fix that. Until then i will practice body position in front of a mirror and short game. My short game is actually pretty good for an absolute novice. I rarely three putt and am able to stick most pitches and chips from 40 yards in pretty close. Pretty close for a beginner at least... My biggest problem is getting there .

Yeah, you're right. Thing is, i'm totally broke . Notoriously, since i just finished college and am at the start of my "career". Money wise the worst time of my life so far. Everything else is fine . Range time is free for me with a bucket of balls $1. So is a round of golf. I only pay a monthly free of roughly 40$. Still, what you say is very true. I will have to bite the apple and save up my precious money for lessons. 4 hours ($200) is a good start you say?

Lessons are pretty expensive though. My swing motion is also fine, but only when it's on. Right now, my main goal is consistency.

I try to get 6-8 hours a week at the range. But my jobs keep me pretty busy right now. Any excersises that practice a "dry swing" in your backyard for 30 minutes or something? My idea would be a tee, stuck all the way into the ground with just the top 1/8th inch or so looking out. If i can chop the tee with the sweet spot of the club it was a good swing. Any other good excercises for the backyard?

Thanks for the Answer, Erik. I don't care so much about the Stableford system itself. The point is, that the official german HCP is calculated using the Stableford points system. So the real question is: Does Scorecard support the HCP System of other countries, germany in particular? A HCP tracker I use must have this feature, for it's worthless for me, to know my official U.S. HCP

Two Questions: 1) Does this Program have some kind of export feature? Like if i ever abandon the software, is there a way to save all the rounds i hacked into the programm or will they be completely lost? 2) Does the software support Stableford? Because this is the standard around here for players above a 20 handicap (me....for a long time to come ) Thanks

Hi there, i recently started playing Golf. As you can imagine, i'm an awful player, but workin' on it. I hit most fairways with a 5 wood off the tee (about 8/10) and my short game is decent. My iron game is weak on a good day . Now here's the thing: My biggest problem is consistency. I just can't seem to establish a swing, which i can rely on. On the range, i rarely hit the same shot 2 or 3 times in a row. Sometimes i get on a roll and hit 20 great shots, sometimes a can't hit anything all day. It's pretty hard to play a solid round of golf without a reliable swing. Doesn't help with the mental game either . My distance is actually alright for a beginner, when i hit it clean. About 120 to 150 yards carry with a 5 iron. Long story short: Any tips or excercises, mental or physical, on improving swing consistency? Thanks

I would hand the Browns an A. Many draft experts rated the Browns draft a lot worse, but i think they got just what they needed. All in all they scored 11 players, the Jets trade included. They drafted a pro bowl caliber center and 2 starter material receivers on the first day. Defensively they stacked themselves with solid starters, depth players and role players. The Browns didn't need a flashy star player, they needed solid starters and depth. That said, they will suck the next 5 years as they have sucked the last 5.....
