I thought I would say hi. I am very new to golf. I just played in our company golf outing with some borrowed clubs and had a blast. I ordered a set of clubs for myself and recieved them yesterday. The only down side is none of my friends golf, so I will be golfing by myself. I was thinking about taking my 5 year old daughter along to help me see where my balls go. I did look at some youth clubs for her but I'm not sure if she has the attention span yet, she is easily frustrated, I have to tread lightly when teaching her new skills. This seems like a great site and look forward to learning some new skills myself.

Hey there! Hope you were spared from the flooding this summer.

I'd say do both - take the daughter to a chip and putt sometimes, but treat yourself to the driving range or course when you need to focus.

I'm about 25 miles west of Iowa City in rural South Amana. The flooding was strange, it was horrible around me but I was completly unaffected. I didn't even have to alter my drive to work because they closed the interstate right at North liberty where I work. To be honest I felt guilty not to be affected, but very gratefull, several people at work lost almost everything.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
