I just joined this week and still unfamiliar with much of the site. I live in the Twin Cities area (Minneapolis/Saint Paul) and frequent my university's course, Les Bolstad. I played competitively in high school and am looking to really take my game to the next level. I'm an 11 handicap and consistently shoot in the mid-80'sCant seem to break that dreaded benchmark so I'm trying to exercise any and all options lol. Hoping to use this blog for tips, advice, and knowledge that will help me break 80. Cheers!

Recently graduated college and moved out to the West coast for work. I played golf competitively in high school and absolutely love the game. However, my involvement fell off a bit throughout the past few years and I'm now looking to jump back in. I've got a lot more free time on the weekends and courses are more accessible now.  I'm roughly a 12 or 13 handicap and hover in the 80s (on a good day). I'd love to taste the 70's by the end of the summer so I've got some ground to cover lol. I love to talk golf and learn from others so I'm excited to see what this site has to offer!

      Swing or Hit?

      By Sclaffer ·

      Thank you for the replies.  On reflection, I need to go away and work on proprioception. For example, I have never had any idea where the club head is. I go for a lesson, the pro identifies a fault and we fix it. Because I do not feel  the difference between the fixed swing and the old swing, I write down what we worked on. However, without any feel or muscle memory of what constitutes a good swing, it is a lottery whether my next round will be good or bad. I contrast myself with my brother in law; who’s swing is truly ugly. He was a cricketer and has great  proprioception, so he is consistent and straight. I just found Andrew Emery video on golf proprioception. Any views on his teaching? Regards

      Certain psychedelics help with curbing bad habits, so maybe?

      2025 TST Outing Preliminary Blabber

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      I'm interested. I always enjoy playing in these events, sometimes I've even played well. ... sometimes not so much.  I do have an event I've been playing for more than a decade and a half that happens the first weekend in May in Las Vegas.  BTW - if any of you are interested in joining me in that event let me know, and I'll get you details.  Here's the thread for that event.

      Anywhere within reasonable driving distance works for me. Open to assist, too.
