Hello! 

New to the game of golf. Just bought my first set of used clubs from a second hand store for $50 bucks. I've always been an active guy but I found out I have a hole in my heart (ASD) so my physical activities have been limited while I get this figured out. Wanted to find something I could do outside without feeling like I'm gonna pass out. Played golf a handful of times when I was a kid but the last time I went I got hooked. Never thought I'd enjoy it this much to be honest. But it's been great to get back into a sport.

 

I also found these Nikes for $10 bucks. Can't find much info on them. I think they are a few years old but in great shape. Thought Nike Air Jordans can't be too bad for my first pair of golf shoes. Anyone have any opinions or info on them? I saw a few on eBay for a pretty penny but that doesn't mean they'll get that much.

My ankles are cringing. 😛

Any shoe, but a low sole height more minimalist shoe would cause me to roll my ankles a few times a year. I stay away from shoes like that. That is my personal preference though.

I've not seen anybody wear them.    That is not to say many people don't, but in my circle and the people I've seen on the golf course, I've not seen any Jordans.    They look nice.

    • Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress. 
    • Day 130: did a stack session. 
    • Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20. 
    • Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!
    • Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
