I'm 33, been playing for the last 18 years and have sucked for the better part of those years. I can't say I understand all of you teenagers on here who just picked up a club and suddenly have a 12 handicap.

Practice, Practice, and more Practice.

Its not always how you drive the ball, but how it arrives.


Just turned 43, but often feel 63. Pretty bad when you start buying shoes based on whether or not you have to bend over and tie them.

I'm 18. I have been playing for just over two years. I feel good where I am but know there is a lot to learn. I started playing when I quit hockey. I quit that due to increased pain in my ankles and knees. I needed something to do but with a little less stress. I love it now and hope to never have to stop. I do have a little bit of a hockey swing but my high school coach was right. He could make a hockey swing into a good golf swing. baseball players seem to have trouble keeping the leading foot on the ground at takeaway but for me as a hockey player I lift my hind foot after a swing a little every now and then. It gives me something to work on though.

Welcome to the forum Todd, I would like to say a couple things, first, thanks for everything that you do over in Iraq, it is very much appreciated! Also, I don't live in the Augusta area but maybe you should stop on down by Tennesse sometime. LOL. How long has it been since you've hit a golfball anyways? Or do you have some clubs with you.

Thanks for the kind words. No matter how many times we hear someone tell us the appreciate our service, it never gets old. I was very fortunate to be on a post that had some donated clubs and an area to swing at, plus I went home on R&R; at the end of June, so I was able to get some playing time in between traveling with the family. I'll have even more time to play once I get back because I will be on leave for 30 days while my wife is teaching school and my kids are in school. Hooray!!! BTW, what part of TN? My mother in law lives in north MS, close to Memphis!

    • Day 244: mirror work tonight while watching TV. Working on cleaning up lower body stuff. 
    • Day 10 March 21 2025 Up in Cleveland most of the day watching the 1st round of March Madness. Did some Backswing drills at home after dinner,. 
    • Day 12 (21 Mar 25) - Weekly Friday men’s group shootout.   Tough winds (10-20 mph hurt going out and just as fast help coming in) made for tricky play on all shots.  It made for a very conservative round of coarse management.  Add that the greens were firm and fast and it was an interesting day all the way around. 
    • This is a decent sized carpet python we had to move from beside the green on Hole 3 at my home course. These are non-venomous but would give a damn painful bite and you’d be almost certain to get an infection without antibiotics.    The ones you need to avoid that are common here are eastern browns and redbelly blacks. They are angry and aggressive if provoked whatsoever. And deadly. So it ain’t worth looking for a ball in long grass!
    • I'm having trouble picturing this. Could you take a photo of the area with your ball near where it was, or draw a picture, or point us to Google Earth or something?
