If I keep shorting my chips and putts, then I'll join 'Team Red Tee'.

Otherwise, I'll stay on the disturbed member list.

I know there's the blogger girl and Claire, anyone else?

Oops, sorry julie_m for stumbling into the waiting room of your "disturbed lonely golfers" group therapy session. Despite my picture, no I'm not female but don't hold that against me.

Anyway, nice chatting but I'd better be off now to my therapy session for "men who look like Natalie Gulbis". I think it's just down the hall...

Oooh behave!! You're just playing with me now.

I have no intention of behaving.

And I like playing with you. That said, it was awfully early when I read your post--got your avatar confused with another. Who's that supposed to be on the motorcycle, anyway?

Motorcycle??

Twice in a row! Okay, I guess it's a golf bag. The golfer behind it kinds looks like a handlebar on the right side. Oh heck, never mind. I'm buried too deep in here to get out. And I'm not even drinking. Probably have to go change that.

With a "++.0" handicap, I'd keep doing what you're doing if I was you. Obviously something's working!!!

I just didn't want to show the number, and that was about the only way not to do so! It took some doing to figure it out, too.

Well, I'll consider myself victim of a good hoodwinking!!!

I am out here as one of the few ladies. I'm a lefty too, also one of the few.

Wow--a partner in crime! How totally cool. Don't golf stores make you feel like a diabetic in a candy shop? All that great stuff, and none of it is for you.

Well, I'll consider myself victim of a good hoodwinking!!!

Aww, just tell me I'm cute when I'm befuddled.

    • Awesome. We were originally going to play Quail Ridge but ended up moving some things around and are going to do the following when we go in May Day 1 Tobacco Road Day 2 Southern Pines and Pine Needles Day 3 Tot Hill Farm There are a couple good course vlog/matches on YouTube at Southern Pines, it looks awesome.
    • 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. 
    • 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. 
    • 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.
