Started late last fall after many years of telling myself I'd start some day and fell in love with the game. After getting laid off this past winter, I've gone back to school which allows me to play more often. Although, due to no income I am limited to mostly public courses. Using hand me down Ping Eye2 Red dot irons and bought a R5 driver and rescue burner hybrid to replace the other hand me downs. Not really sure what my handicap is but I shoot around 30 over on average. Best I've shot is a 93 at Pelham Golf Course with par 71, rating of 70.90, slope of 116, and 6691 yards long. Can't afford lessons so I try to learn as much as I can from reading up on the web and watching videos and then testing it out on the field. Hopefully, I'll get a video of myself up soon on here and you guys can critique it for me. Well, I guess that's all~

My wife and I love NYC. I was surprised to see so many courses there the first time we flew over.

      I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      32 putts are average for a single digit handicap golfer. Limiting three putting is the biggest task. Speed control is the most important aspect of putting. Probably the 2nd most important is aim.  The putter is going to rotate open a bit on the backstroke. It might stay square to the arc of the putting stroke, but that does mean the face opens up a bit on the backstroke when measured against where the face is oriented at address. Go get a putter lesson as well.

      Keep us up to date with your findings, please.  I'm not looking for a putter, but I'm sure you're not alone in your venture to get the putts rolling better.
