Hi there,

I am in the UK, started playing golf at 11yrs old.  BUT, never played that often and stopped completely 10 years ago (I am now 47).  Just getting back into the game.  Options around simulators seem to make it easier to find the time to practice, so looking into that and am also about to join a club (Stratford Oaks near Stratford Upon Avon, UK)... if anyone wants a round and is close let me know! I plan to play once a week, but aim to practice a fair bit - never did any practice before - just went out on the course and played.  I don't have an official handicap yet, when I was playing my best ever round was 87, but I usually scored between 90-95, so not very good.  I have a goal of breaking 80 in the next 2 years.

I just had some new clubs fitted - Callaway Rogue X, 4-PW + AW, GW and SW. I have a Callaway RBZ driver which I got pre-owned.  I might replace it... also looking for a 3wood or hybrid for tee shots where I don't want to use a driver.  Currently trying a few clubs.

Anyway - hello all.

John

@Jay28 Welcome back to golf.  Start off playing with the clubs you have and add clubs as per your requirement once you start figuring your game and swing.  After all, you can pick up clubs (new or used) at anytime, and it is better to buy what suits you rather than needing to resell something you bought and then find doesn't suit your game.

Welcome! I’m in Waltham Abbey so about 2 hours away from you. If you’re ever down this way bring the clubs and give me a shout. I tend to shoot 90-95 as well.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
