I've been lurking a lot of posts by @iacas and @mvmac on some morad threads trying to get as much information as i can.

I'm about to become an M.D in a year and a half and currently competing for my national team so really eager to keep improving my golf before real life takes over haha. 

been playing since 2013, took a 3 year break at the beginning of medical school and got back to it and straight away went down a rabbit hole of tgm, morad, s&t and got too obsessed with perfecting the golf swing that i forgot how to play golf. i got my swing to an ok place then learned how to play golf and got on the national team, but here i am again back down the rabbit hole trying to get the swing better.

Anyways, hope to learn a lot from this place.

Nice to meet you guys

Welcome to TST!  We're glad you've joined.   

Am I understanding you're playing golf for your national team?   What country?  Whatever, so cool!

Welcome and enjoy.

You may want to pick out an Avatar. Those always add personality to your posts.

I too am curious where you are and which National Team you play for. If you want to share I think we'd all find it interesting.

Glad you are here.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Nice!

really hope so, struggling on settling on what specialty to choose. my top choices will most likely allow very little golf in my future haha. we'll see how it pans out, how'd it work out for you?

Any field you choose will eventually allow you to have time for golf. They all will cause a limitation in the beginning. For me, it’s best not to hear my overall thoughts on medicine…haha. But power to ya brother!😃

One of my golfing buddies is a heart surgeon.  Great guy.  But when we play on Sunday there's always the chance he'll be called in on an emergency.  He's had to leave the course in a hurry before.

But he's got great clubs, great house, great car and plays a lot of golf in Arizona.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By boogielicious ·

      I agree with @pganapathy about removing some clubs. I would recommend removing the 2, 3, 4 and 5 irons for now. Play with Driver 3W 5W 3H 5H 6 iron 7 iron 8 iron 9 iron PW ( you don’t have listed) 52 56 Putter Th 60 wedge can be difficult for new players, but you could keep that If your 3H is adjustable, increased the loft to be more like a 4H. Play with these on course and see if you can get a feel of the actual yardages for each club and especially the gaps between them. It may take 10 or more rounds. A par 3 course is helpful for determining the gaps in the irons and some woods too. A device like a Shot Scope H4 can really help give you your actual yardage on course.

      Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice.

      By pganapathy ·

      A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By pganapathy ·

      Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
