Hi All,

 

My name is Sam and I am new to golf!

I am 27, Australian and about 7/8 months into the game.

Currently at a 27 handicap and best stroke score is 102 (so close to breaking 100)

Absolutely loving it eventhough it can be very frustrating!

Recently became a member at a club near me which is Gardiners Run, and I am playing in my first comp there tomorrow. Very nervous, especially playing with people I don't know. I don't know anyone at the club so hoping to meet some golf buddies along the way.

I cannot drive the ball to save my life, but my irons are steadily improving - my putting is pretty good for early on in my career too. Have had some lessons initially when I started playing but haven't had any for a while. Probably time to get some more.

Really looking forward to learning more from all the good golfers on here and reading all the tips and tricks that are being provided.

I just posted some videos of my swing on the Members Swing section for anyone that is interested.

Have a great day all, and thanks for allowing me to join 🙂


Sam

Warm welcomes! Always good to see new people getting into the game. I picked the game back up after a long break about the same time that you picked it up.

I wish you luck in your first tournament. Play your best, but don't get down on yourself is my advice. You won't make nearly as many friends if you have a bad attitude while you are on the course. This game we play is extremely tough, and no one makes great shots all the time. It's the few good ones per round that keep us coming back, wanting more. If you curse, throw clubs, and generally are unhappy outwardly after every miss or bad shot, you will find yourself being quite the lonely golfer. 

Gonna pop over to your swing thread now. Cheers!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 20: 12/30/2024 I've been working on my swing in front of the mirror today. Spent a lot of time at slow speed, mid speed and a couple at full speed. I just came back in from the garage where I practiced my PPJ swing by hitting about 10 balls with the 6-iron into my net.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      I'm just guessing here. But couldn't Titleist build a mini-driver with a very low center of gravity? Then it would work off the deck. The deep face wouldn't be as problematic.  I'm just spit-balling. I know nothing about this product.

      By saevel25 ·

      Yea, but a deeper face makes it not as useful off the fairway. This is why the driver is not easy to hit off the fairway.  For a select few PGA Tour players, it might be good. The concept of the mini driver has been around for a long time now. Very few ever keep it in their bag. This is a guess, but probably because it sucks off the ground. Nothing here looks like it is any different than the other mini drivers of the past.  I get it from Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris point of view. They hit the ball a long way. The odds they ever hit a 3-wood off the turf is like what, a handful a times a year? They probably would hit it 98% off the tee and 2% off the ground. They probably want something that think is longer off the tee versus their 3-wood because they don't hit the 3-wood off the ground much at all.  This is where I say, Titleist claiming "worked as a go-to club off the tee and off the deck." is more marketing than something that is actually beneficial to a golfer. This is primarily for off the tee.

      One thing I've noticed with Mini Drivers is that the manufacturers seem like they keep their quantities somewhat limited.  The last two TaylorMade Mini's and the Callaway AI Smoke Mini were sold out quickly.

      Huh? That's the niche of these mini-drivers. They can still work off the tee and off the fairway. They're designed for and work for both things, which is all that blurb says. You can see from the photos that it's a bit of a deeper face, which I find is more important off the tee than the fairway.
