Hello,

My name is Jay, and I am in central florida. I am 37 years old. I played golf a handful of times over the past 20 some odd years, but never thought much of it. Recently, playing Tiger Woods Golf on PS3 (go figure) has intrigued the family enough to encourage me to buy clubs for all of us (3 boys and wife) and get out there! We typically play at a 9 hole executive course in the evenings or weekends. We love it as a family!

I have good natural ability, and have taken one lesson where we changed my grip and backswing a bit. Prior to the lesson, I could hit the ball far, but would sometimes slice pretty badly-could be 75 yards right, but I used a strong grip and aimed left to compensate and usually ended up close to the fairway. Actually the only times I went OB is when it went straight, and I was compensating by aiming left. The new grip and backswwing is helping tremendously!

My 2nd 18 hole round (prior to the lesson) was my best to date (only have 3 in 08-09), and this was a 93 at Mayfair in Sanford FL from the white tee boxes.

For now, knee surgery has me working in slow motion, but I am only a few weeks away from putting that behind me, and I am still working on the mechanics with the new backswing and grip.

You will see my handicap coming down quickly this year, as I am giving up 2 nights of softball for this game (still playing 1 night of softball-which may affect my swing, but Golf is the priority).

Mayfair is a fun, family friendly, and relatively inexpensive track that will challenge you without beating you up. Good for you for getting the whole family involved!

Thank you! It felt great. Since then, I have had a knee operation (meniscus) and taken a lesson which changed my grip and swing, and should help my consistency. We will see! The healing process, and pain when I do try swinging the club is driving me nuts! Trying not to rush it is tough.

Oh yeah, I've played there once a few years ago, I was just wondering because there are not very many 9 hole courses here in Orlando.

      I honestly think they were saying feet but it was in yards.

      Some of the tee shot data they showed was wildly incorrect too, specifically apex height There were multiple drives that they claimed had apex heights of like 35 feet yet they still carried 300yds. I wonder if that was the apex height when it reached the screen, not the calculated apex height.  I do agree that more data and even being able to hear/see which clubs the players select would be nice. They could easily do it by having someone looking in the bag and pressing a button for whichever club is missing from the player's bag as they're walking up to hit.

      I was hoping to see the data on all the shots. Not just carry and total distance, but all of the stuff you see on a simulator. It should be on the TV screen like you see relevant data for a football game. A couple of the approach shots they didn't even state the distance to the pin. I think that would probably be something they add as time goes on as they get feedback. I was surprised the camera didn't zoom in on wives and children, unless I missed it. I didn't watch the last 3 holes. I guess they weren't going for a family vibe. I will watch again, but with less anticipation. It was a Tuesday night and the weather sucks.

      I wouldn't mind getting a Jupiter hat since I live down here, plus it's Tiger's team. I enjoyed how much faster it was, as well as the grass tees. I'm looking forward to Tiger's first match next week. Shame, it looks like the entire season's sold out. I live right down the road from it. Oh well.

      I'm wearing a Ballfrogs hat in my photo with Lou from the other day (and I wore it again today): This was the WORST the production and live show are going to be, and they got a lot of things right with only room to grow. I think it'll only get better (not wildly so, but incrementally). And it didn't help that it was a blowout, and yet… it was still pretty interesting. Singles was weirdly a little bit of a drag. I almost wonder if that's not a mid-season change.
