Greetings from Central Ohio! I'm about a month back into golfing after not playing for about 17 years. I only played occasionally then, scrambles with guys from work, and terribly I might add! Hope this time around is much better!

Welcome fellow Ohioan! Similar situation with me. About a month back into it after only playing a handful of rounds in the ten years prior. I hope your return to the game as well as your coming to the forum are both positive experiences. Cheers!

Welcome to TST

We have a decent number from the Buckeye state. As you can see I'm just a bit west of you.

One thing is for sure. You got a nice selection of courses around you. I know some of the guys played NorthStar last year.

Getting to know which courses fit you best is can help your restart go a bit smoother.

Thanks mcanadiens. I’ve only been playing a few small executive courses so far. I was invited a couple weeks ago to play north star but couldn’t make it. I’m hoping to play Blackhawk a few times this season as this is their final year! I am very fortunate to have several courses near me. Most of them are still quite intimidating. I hope as I get more consistent in ball striking, that feeling goes away.

@Greg 504. Absolutely nothing wrong with hitting those executive courses to start. 

When I started seven years ago, I kind of wish my buddy had just let me stay on those sort of courses for a while instead of feeding me to courses I wasn't really ready for. 

Scout around for that next level course. Hopefully a regulation course that isn't too long and isn't too tight. Sort of the next rung on the ladder.

Welcome to that party, Greg! Good to see so many Ohio guys here. I'm on the Kentucky side of the river, but basically Cincinnati. Took a surprise tour of Troy this weekend because 75 was closed in both directions and I was trying to make it back from Michigan. 

It would be nice to get everybody together for a round sometime.

I fixed that for you. ;-)

I was just thinking of setting up something in September for people in the area. Sounds like you would be interested.

CarlSpackler, that could be a pretty good time! I still get nervous about my pace of play in large groups though. I don’t know why, seems everyone has been where I am now except for the very few naturally talented people. I’ve  quickly realized the progress is is somewhat slow with this game.

It was nice. My wife commented that she could live there. We like the downtown and the big old houses.

We’ve all been there. It’s a good time. I’ve always enjoyed meeting fellow TST members no matter what their level of play is.

Ole Carl isn’t playing so hot lately himself. Left foot is still hurting making it difficult to get my weight on it.

      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.

      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.
