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.

      First - glad to see these popping up again. Now to the topic at hand - I would rather be option 1.  If I know how far it's going (I mean a yard or two) I can always play to the wider parts of the fairway and/or the green and still do reasonably well.  Now if I could just really hit the "number" that well.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 2 (10 Mar 25) - Long day of driving to dr appt with son.  Thankfully got in one of my fave putting drills (two ball side by side) - the goal to have both balls come off the putter face equally by having them come off the putter face as close to the same time as possible.  First few rolls - the toe was leading the way as that ball flew off the face.  By the end of the drill both balls were basically equal off the face, rolling to within a couple of inches of each other.  Nice drill of focusing on squaring the face.  BTW - I was using the old Odyssey DF992.

      Day 161 - 2025-03-10 Got a decent, long session in. Focused mostly on the backswing feels, and moved on toward the end of the four hours (not all hitting balls, I installed a motion sensing light switch in there too, and worked with a student over FaceTime for a bit) on the downswing feel.
