The changes I implemented after having instruction two weeks ago are starting to pay dividends. The only thing now is I feel my equipment is holding me back. Now that I'm addressing the ball with better posture, my lie angle is different. Some would suggest that I have my irons adjusted accordingly but I hate to do that to 14 year old irons. Not sure it's worth it. The most exciting part is that I'm finally beginning to hit my nemesis with some consistency, the driver. I think it's still early to claim miracle cure but I'm quite excited and have more confidence than I've had in a while. I plan to see my instructor again soon. If you're on the fence about getting instruction I highly recommend it. Do your homework and find someone you can work with.

I suppose my game is coming on. My son and I went out and won a two-man captain's choice on Monday. He actually told me that was the best he'd seen me play in months.

I have been thinking about some lessons. I just can't decide on private lessons or semi private. Semi-private has a huge cost benefit but the instructor to student ratio is 1:5. Any thoughts on which one I should do?

There may be cost benefit in group lessons but if one instructor focuses on you entirely then the cost effectiveness goes to private lessons. You can definitely accomplish more that way.

Getting the lie angles changed is not very expensive. I would suggest doing that if you really love the irons and don't want to change, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Plus, not only has technology changed for the better, but if you have hit enough golf balls it's likely that those grooves should be worn down about now. I also wonder about the shaft flex. Back in 1994, frequency matching was pretty rare. Today you can get shafts that are frequency matched so they are all the same flex and measure up to correct flex for your golf swing.

I have been toying with the notion of buying new clubs. Two things that hold me back: my swing...hate to buy something new when my swing ain't working right anyway. Now that it's getting better, maybe I'll consider. Two, my better half. She hates it when I talk about getting new equipment. She acts like I'm always getting new stuff just because I changed my woods out and got a new putter. But I'm getting to the point that a change needs to be made.

    • So excited you made it out! I live in Portland and go most springs. If you liked Sheep's Ranch you ain't seen nothing yet. It's incredibly picturesque and with a 2 club wind it's not a cake walk. But as far as the quality of the course in terms of challenge and interest, in my opinion it's easily the worst on the property! Also, Old Mac started as my least favorite (this was before Sheep's Ranch opened). But I listened to the fried egg podcast about it and read through Doak's descriptions and it totally changed my perspective. Now it's fighting for top spot. So excited for you!
