Hello from Tennessee! My name is Nina, have been playing golf since 2002, single-digit hcp at the moment. I used to play with a coach on weekly basis until late 2018 when I took a new position at work that has kept me flying around the world quite a bit (with and without the clubs), so for now I have been training a lot by myself. In addition to golf, I spend time with horses as well as I'm into triathlons and endurance mountain bike racing. 

Nice meeting y'all! 

Nina

Welcome to TST Nina! In November I thought it’d be a great idea to show my 13yr old an old stunt on his BMX bike. I ended up breaking 3 ribs and perforated my bowel! I’m all good now but I’ll stick to my casual mountain biking for now. Good to have you here. Cheers!

Oops! That's not good at all. But I am glad to hear you are back on the bike again! 

I have broken quite a few bones with horses, knocking the wood - so far the bike accidents have been limited to some serious road rash, and a few stitches here and there. But BMX stuff is way beyond my skills, so I just stick with steep uphill climbs.....

So what’s in your bag? I have a few sets but my Ping i200 and Mizuno MP-54 are used the most. I’m getting fit for a new set on Tuesday. I’m open to just about any brand except for Cleveland. Just never could like their looks...aside from their wedges.

I am a Callaway girl..... even though sometimes cheat with Titleist.

But my go-to selection is Epic Flash driver 10.5 (adjusted at 9.5 deg), Apex Pro 19 irons (4-9; sometimes I carry #3 too). If I don't have 3-iron, usually have Big Bertha 3-hybrid (18 deg).  Epic Flash 3-wood, 15 deg. Callaway Jaws MD5 wedges 48, 52 & 58.

But I really, really like Titleist Vokeys too, and often carry their 50, 56 & 60 ❤️ 

And as far as the putter goes, most of the time I use Odyssey's Stroke Lab Black Ten, or Double Wide. 

I am thinking of retiring Apex irons sometime soon though, and getting Epic Forged....

Yeah Callaway always nice. I had the Apex CF 16 set. The Apex 19’s are on my list to try as well as the Mavrik/MavPro. Currently have a Ping G and G400 driver. I have a lot of wedges but Edel and Ping Glide are my go to ones. Edel putter...they make awesome putters and wedges.

I really like my Apex a lot but Epics feel even better. I just need to find time to get everything fitted, and pick up the shafts and grips that I want. People speak very highly of Mavrik, and I try to get to test those sooner than later....

    • 12 July 25 - Got invited to a Sat morning round with some friends.  Was a decent round - sort of a pre-tournament round for the 1st of Aug.  Best play of the day - lost ball off the tee on 7.  Took the drop, hit 3rd onto the green, missed the par putt by 3 inches short - middle of cup.  Was a good bogie recovery.  Learned a valuable lesson - the wedge is your friend, the collars on the greens are just long enough that they kill the putter (unless you hammer it).  Back to more of those nice chip and roll drills. &nbsp
    • Day 357: played 27 holes. +6 total - pretty pleased. Only negative was missing the hole 3 times from within 4 feet…
    • Day 1: 7/12/25 exactly 60 minutes of chipping practice. Unlikely to be able to practice very much but sure had a blast today!
    • Didn't score better, but made better swings on the course today. I found a bit of success on range pre-round, just hitting like what felt like 60-70% shots. It was more right elbow and right wrist angles in the downswing. Driver took a bit to work out the giant toe push draws I was hitting.
    • Played in the first round of Shawnee Hills  course tournament. went 42+46. Just lost energy on the back nine.  Lots of pars and way too many big scores. Course has a lot of areas to lose a golf ball. This is the adjusted score.  I had to return to the tee twice. The first the guy I played with didn’t tell me my ball bounced into the trees behind the green. 😡 the 2nd one I hit a decent draw over the corner of a slight dog leg left. I didn’t know 15-20 yards from the fairways was nasty weeds. I also 4 putted and 3 putted a few times. I flubbed like two chips. Too long of backswing.  I was happy with my ball striking. Probably B-. Found a bit of something on the range before the round. I’m starting to actually feel my right arm position better with what I am working on. I striped some irons today.
