With time on my hands after being widowed (after years of being a carer) I’ve got time to enjoy(?) this beautiful frustrating game! I don’t recommend my method of getting here, but it’s been wonderful for my MH.

Picked up an old (like near-20 year old) set of clubs plus bag for £30, hit a bunch of balls on the range a few times and decided it was a thing I could get into. Been putting in the work since with a great teacher over the last year or so. Switched out the Magreggor irons for Taylor Made stealth irons middle of last year (which I love) and he recently did me a really good deal on a new (well, unused) 3-wood. Take away the high-handicapper duff shots and it’s proving to be a rather savvy purchase.

Right now I’m working on trying to flatten my swing path - I’m a *lot* less over-the-top than I was, but plenty of work to do.

Anyways….though I’d say hello

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By klineka ·

      So you want us to help you for free but you're telling us what we can/can't say? Probably not the best way to go about seeking advice, IMO. It'd be one thing if you said something like "I've tried this, this, and this and haven't had much success with those so looking for alternatives". But instead you told us to "don't say basic stuff". You realize that a lot of what PGA Tour players work on on a daily basis is the "basic" stuff, right? They're always working on grip, alignment, posture, etc which are pretty basic things. I think you're doing yourself a disservice by being close minded and not wanting to hear anything that's "basic"

      Water in Bunker

      By billchao ·

      Take that logic and apply it to temporary water in the general area. The general area is not supposed to be under water. You are entitled free relief to play from another part of the general area that’s not under water. You are entitled to free relief to play from another area of the bunker. Bunkers are limited in size, and the fact that you were not able to play out of the same bunker no closer to the hole was unfortunate, but how does that possibly equate to “I should be able to play out of the grass instead with no penalty?” It doesn’t make logical sense. The ACC accommodates this by allowing the drop out of the bunker for one penalty stroke instead of the usual two, to account for the difference in lie.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Becca ·

      Day 1:  I had my first “real” practice today at the driving range.  I hit two buckets of balls utilizing all of my clubs minus the pitching wedge (I haven’t had a lesson on that one yet).

      By yungbuck6 ·

      like I don't like to think I'm an amazing player as I play off around 7-8 handicap or anything but The one miss I have at the minute is with my strike and its getting really frustrating because I don't see what's causing it please don't say basic stuff like I don't weight shift etc because it wont help here are some videos form certain angles (these aren't that fat in the video maybe slightly chunked but its more the fact that the chunk happens 1 in every 4 iron shots so I'm never consistent) https://imgur.com/epaeE4D https://imgur.com/CKeV0Nm https://imgur.com/lJkliwd https://imgur.com/a/1Z7VwK9
