Hi Y'all

[wannabe]

wannabe here. as in (of course) "I want to be a golfer!"

Happy to be here.

Hoping to get a new set of clubs this year, increase my skills & playing time.

Already watching way too much golf channel & dreaming of progressing toward my fellow family members & friends who shoot in the 80's.

Been dreaming for about a decade now. Hopefully this year the dreams will start heading toward reality.

Good luck. If and when you get new clubs be sure to go the extra distance and get properly fit. This can and will make a big difference in your game (if nothing else you'll be more confident knowing you have the correct clubs for you).

Be careful watching The Golf Channel shows with lots of tips because often they contradict one another and this can be very confusing for someone wanting to get better. The best way to get better is lessons, proper equipment fitting, patience and lots of practice.

Thanks for the advice, PK.

I've learned the lesson about "too many tips" the hard way. I've learned to ignore my regular golfing buddies and most of what I see on tv.

Regarding fitting, I'm glad you reinforced my thinking on that. I've never been fit for clubs before, and I've read lots of places that it's important.

Fortunately, I love practicing just as much if not sometimes more as I do playing.

My Golf Channel watching is more typically the tourneys and feature shows, less the tips shows. Given me a great appreciation. Really love this sport.
