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.

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
