Golf is still too elitist at some clubs, some clubs have a 'group' culture which means newer members and less regular members can not get involved in the events because they feel so awkward and unwelcome.

I also think that yes as Juniors we all feel hard done by but there are a lot of adult members who are probably in a similar boat, who don't really get respected and have a bad reputation. It's not that bad really, for every ignorant member of a golf club there is another 20 members that are as welcoming and friendly as you could wish for.

alot of members at my club enjoy playing with jr's yesterday it was normal stabelford comp but in our group we had our own team matchplay comp it was really fun we played for money too, and my partner paid for me he was really nice. i think its more how you act with the members rather than golfing ability

I enjoy playing with all types of players, being 35 I don't feel that old on the golf course. I have had some of the most enjoyable rounds playing with guys that were 25 years older than me. They hit driver-driver on a 350 yard hole and 2 putt for par while I play bomb and gouge and make bogey, we both envy each other in an ironic way. I have played with many juniors being paired up at munis and I enjoy seeing ther skill level. I have no problem with them as long as they have some sense of etiquette....C

anyone who won't play with golf with juniors should burn in hell because they are old decreped a-holes who dont' give a crap about anyone but themselves.. my favorite thing to see in the world is youth out on the course.. and even if they might not be the most polite children in the world then hopefully golf experiences will teach them something.. instead of people complaining about kids and golf we should all try to get them involved and not discourage them from the game

Yea I'm also a junior golfer and every once in awhile I'll find the jerk who see's a kid a begs the starter not to be placed with them. I also see that exact same guy go up to the tee and duff it. And make that kid wait forever to tee off. If the kid is 10 or under and his swing looks bad, than go ahead and complain. But if you complain and then the kid goes out there and smokes you, than think of how much of a jackass you look like.

Played 2 rounds on theweekend with a 16 year old with a handicap of 11. have known him for a couple of years when his starting h/cap was 25 .he is always a pleasure to play with. surely it is a responsibility of all adult club members to help bring along these juniors. they are the future of the game wether at club level or international level. there are arrogant & rude players of all ages.

I don't care who I play with as long as you keep up....

I don't care if it takes you 10 shots per hole just as long as you are not holding up the group.

I am a member at a couple different Country Clubs and I have to say that between the 2 it is like a night and day difference. I just happen to teach at the one that the members don't like juniors. But I say to heck with them. I remember being a junior and I don't believe that any junior, that loves this game, would intentionally hurt the course or the game.
An example of this: Last year during my junior program a group of old members came in and gave me an ear full about the juniors hurting the greens. So I asked them to show me the damage so that I could fix it. The funny thing about what they were talking about was that I had played the night before on mens league and saw the guy do the damage and fixed that night.
Juniors are the FUTURE of golf. We need to golf with them and help them. I would much rather golf with my kids than some of the old codgers slinking around the golf courses.LOL

Proud to say - our club encourages juniors and has programs to educate and coach them. I'm happy to play with anyone who knows the etiquette and can keep up.

As long as pace of play doesn't suffer, I'll play with anyone.

They just have to know when it is time to pick up the ball or stop looking for the lost one. If they are with an adult, I expect the adult to push that. If the adult doesn't, it's not the junior's fault.

If the junior is playing on their own, they most likely all ready know.

      Winter Depression Thread

      By JetFan1983 · Posted

      You know what, I have thought about moving to Arizona a little bit, but I do love the winters here. It really is nice down here from like November thru March. And I totally would do a home setup thing, I really should, but my stupid tennis elbow is really so easily flared up. It's getting better every month with dry needling, but it's so annoying too. I do think I'm finally solving the root causes thru both the dry needle treatments and fixing this steepness/toe strike thing. The former actually does heal it and learning how to plane the club correctly reduces the trauma the elbow takes because of the increase in sweet spot hits. I really should just do a trip to Scottsdale though, I went there once many years ago and it was a beautiful place. Didn't play golf at the time so I really should go. I'd love to get away from the humidity too. And I know there are great mats out there, like at Golf Evolution for example I've been told. In my case, I will hit foam balls off a mat sometimes at home and that has some of the effects of actually hitting a ball while reducing the impact. And this is maybe a topic for another thread, but I've found just making air swings to be more beneficial to me than I originally thought -- that going really fast and not hitting a ball shows my flaws quite a bit too. I'll film myself just making fast air swings inside and trying to fix it. It's almost like speed training except if speed training included trying to make a really technically sound swing on top of it. Hopefully this comment isn't too much of a tangent, but It is the winter depression thread, so maybe tangents about what to do with oneself indoors with golf is okay. Appreciate it though, I really have thought about Arizona a couple times over the last year at least.

      Day 23: chipped in the garage with foam balls. Focused on crisp contact. Did mostly lower chips but mixed in some higher ones. Slightly more open stance, plus ball more toward middle, plus higher handle led to the best results. Need to keep those 3 things in mind.

      Day 2: Worked on distance wedge swing feels. The feel for me is to keep the upper body down more while straightening the lead leg.

      Day 18 (September 22).  I understand the two club drill better, and was alternating that and hitting a few smooth 6-iron shots;  indoors, off a mat, into the net.  I spent about 20 minutes on this thus far tonight.

      I don't know your family or work situation, but have you considered relocating to Arizona?  I was out there the past month or so and played quite a few times;  it's hot, but not humid.   Or, if your house is sufficient size, consider setting up an indoor practice area, so at least when the weather or your schedule isn't cooperating, you can still hit a few. ... said Shindig, who has routinely disappeared for months, sometimes a year or more, at a time because of getting busy at work and just quietly sobs to himself as he walks past the room where his mat and net are during that time.  Dang, I need to not allow that to happen again.
