Well I'm fairly new to golf and to The Sand Trap. I started golfing last summer and its great. I live in Iowa so not to much golfing going on here but I hope to hit it hard this spring. I hope to get some good tips to help me improve my game.


As I've told people in the past, you have definitely come to the right place to learn some stuff about golf.

There are some great members here, and we will all do our best to make you feel welcome. Let us know if you need any help with anything, and I'm sure someone will be able to give some insight.

By the way, I'll be staying in Iowa this summer. My wife and I are heading up to the College World Series in late-June, and we are staying right across the Iowa line in Council Bluffs. Are there some good golf courses up there?

And again, welcome to The Sand Trap!

    • Day 25: 1/4/2025 Mirror day. I did some good mirror work with a 7 iron. Once again focus here is on pushing the carpet away with my lead leg. Sort of like I'm sitting in a office chair and want to scoot across the room.  Later, I used the putting mirror on the putting mat. Rolling 8 footers down a straight line on the mat. 
    • Day 96 - 2025-01-04 Fighting it. Keeping my streak alive, but not by a lot. Got all of seven minutes or so in today. Maybe eight. 😛 Still backswing. Trip next week might be interesting, ha ha. Not gonna worry about it.
    • What does this have to do with the topic?
    • The Top flite Gamer, designed by Callaway, was once an excellent budget ball and won many gold awards from Golf Digest. The original Gamer was a 3 piece ball with a urethane cover. The 2024 version is a 2 piece ball with a cheaper ionomer cover. The top ball below clearly shows the cheaper 2024 2 piece Gamer and the bottom is the 2021 3 piece Gamer.   DSG acquired the brand from Callaway and has systematically destroyed it.
    • Unfortunately, not because of my health. This year, I was dealing with ankylosing spondylitis, which had a huge impact on my performance—and not in a good way. But with my new treatment, I hope to get in better shape
