Good Morning everyone. 

Wanted to introduce myself a little to the forum.

Have been a golfer for about 20 years or so.  Actually, I take that back, I have owned clubs for that long, not sure that I have ever been a golfer.  Played quite a bit in my mid-20s (good excuse to get out to someplace green), but then got settled down and have a family, and the clubs come out once or twice a year now for a golf outing.  

For whatever reason this year the bug has bitten me hard and I really want to get back into things.  Im realizing I need to get back to fundamentals like my grip, but also on the hunt for some new-to-me clubs, so will be posting in that forum with some questions soon.

 

Thanks for having me!

Welcome to TST!  we're glad to have you.  There are plenty of instructional resources that should help you, too. 

You mentioned the grip;  check out this thread.  The author helped me quite a bit with my grip in the past.

 The site has other great instructional resources that should help you too:

And of course, ask questions and participate in the conversation!

Welcome to the forum.

The stuff that @Shindig linked you to is excellent. 

Personally, here's my favorite instruction section: 

Anytime you want to sneak in 5 or 10 minutes of practice there's a video linked here that's good for that. Very few require anything extra in terms of equipment or launch monitors or nets or what-have-you. 

Enjoy the forum. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Thanks again for these links.  I'm now way down the rabbit hole on my grip, realizing it looks nothing like the proper ones in that thread.  It's not easy and feels really funky.  But it does seem to help my practice balls in the backyard go much straighter.....

 

I'll post in that thread when I have some better comments or questions for everyone.

Something I've learned about good instruction over the past few years is that if it doesn't feel funky or weird, you probably aren't changing it.  Every change feels weird in some fashion, and eventually feels comfortable as you practice it.

There's lots of good instruction on the site as well as help with practicing.  I hope it helps you :-)

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By iacas ·

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.

      Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.

      Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention.
