lol, i stink.

Hello. Name is Scott. Mid. wait late 20's male from upstate New York.

About me? Worked at a private club as a teenager. Cady, Bag Room attendant, cart person. It was a fun experience. Got to play on Mondays. Free tips from pros and even some good deals on equipment. Some stuff just given to me.

After that i didnt play golf much. Went to the range here and there. The local Par 3 course i can find to have some fun with friends.

Right now i work in a fairly nice restaurant. My boss's are big into golf. They "know people" and get to play at the nice places, often.

A coworker of mine recently went to a golf outing and got lessons from some pro's (women). The bug bit them. Was asked if i wanted to go to the range. Did and i guess it was like riding a bike. A few days later i upgraded my irons. In the past month ive made it out to the course 9 times.

I play at Rockland Lake Golf Course. The Par 3 Executive course the most but thats changing.
No confidence in my woods. That and putting are things i really need to work on.

Other than that im just having fun with my new addiction.

CYA!

Sorry friend. Im too new to go traveling around playing. But that will change soon. So im up for recommendations also.

I'll put this here.
A few months ago i slurged on the Pings. And told myself i will make due with the woods i have (crap).

But i saw this on amazon. The reviews sounded good. So i bought it. Didnt break the bank thank god. That will happen next season.

I did my research. I know Afinity isnt a great company. But i need something till my birthday (in October) at least.

Well... it arrived today. Along with 36 new balls.
I turned on the outside light. Tee'd up a new ball and swung into the woods. I can tell it went straight. And sounded good. I cant wait to play again...

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

      Code of Conduct Not Entered as Local Rule - Still Valid?

      By cdh79 ·

      So I am aware that "the committee is allowed to set its own standards of player conduct in a code of conduct adopted as a local rule" (rule 1.2b) I also understand that there are some aspects that are allowed to be entered, and some that are not allowed.  My question specifically is: In which form does this code of conduct need to be available? Is it enough for someone to say "that's part of our code of conduct", or is it a requirement, that the code of conduct is in written form? Also, is there a need that the local rule points to the code of conduct in any way?   For better understanding: I'm playing competition and the next course that we play has a "no smoking policy". I don't have a problem with it, as I don't smoke anyway, but one of my team-mates does, and someone told him "You'll get disqualified if you smoke on the course".   Now I have looked at their local rules and there is no reference to a "code of conduct". I'm not sure if they even have an official "code of conduct" that states that smoking is not allowed.   I fully agree that he SHOULD respect this request from the club, but I am wondering if the club would really be allowed to DQ this player for this, if it's not properly documented in their local rules/code of conduct?  This is an official national amateur tournament, so not just something organized by a club for its members.

      My Journey to Straighter Iron Shots

      By MiuraMan ·

      A few months back I purchased the following swing aid on Amazon ($130). It is solidly made of steel and heavy and stable in use. I use it both at the range and at home. Swing Plate Dual PRO by Jamie Brittain - Swing Analyzer Aid - Fits Standard 8mm Alignment Rod Sticks - Teaching Swing Plane Perfector - Indoor/Outdoor Golfing Practice. This winter I set a goal for myself to improve my backswing/downswing to be more consistent and on plane. I had a two way miss with my approach shots this past golf season. I have a hitting set-up in my garage, but I needed something to provide feedback while swinging the club. I came across the Swing Plate while browsing YouTube.   I set it up with the correct angles for my 8 iron. I started out with just the back rod in place, which prevents me from getting too far inside on the backswing. Started out slow and as I got comfortable increased my swing speed. Now I also came across a YouTube video on building a better backswing and getting more width in the backswing and added that to my practice. That video is here:    This video is a bit wordy since you are basically a fly on the wall as Ian gets a lesson. It took a few replays to be able to get the substance of the instruction. It was well worth the effort. Over the last two weeks I have been able to get out on the course and gauge how successful my practice has been. Overall, my consistency with approach shots has improved greatly. Incorporating the added width in my swing has also added a few yards to all my clubs.  What has your off-season training been like?
