Hi all,
New member here...obviously. My name is Candice. I am 25 and from Canada. I picked up golf last year after incessant nagging from my boyfriend of 7 years. Much to my surprise, I loved it despite proclaiming for years what a dumb sport it is. I made a decision last year to quit my other summer sports and focus on golf. I started out shooting about 110, now I'm usually in the high 80's to mid 90's. Best ever score is 85 (39 on the front nine though!). I hope to break 80 this year which is a goal that I feel is very achievable. I commit at least 6-7 hours per week to practice and I've discovered I need to commit about 2 hours a week to chipping and putting alone! Because of the cold weather here, our course just opened last weekend. I'll be playing for the first time on Friday!

Anyway, this looks like a great forum and I hope to learn a lot!


Hello & welcome!! Now I'll just ignore the "....proclaiming for years...dumb sport...etc" part and leave it at that (heheh). Anyhow, I'm glad that your boyfriend was good enough & patient enought to nag you into the game!! I hope I can do the same with my spouse....wish me luck because so far she's been unreceptive...

Hehe! Thanks for the welcome.

I would never dream about uttering such a thought about the game now. It has challenged me in so many ways. I have had many frustrating days on the course and the range and truly respect the game of golf. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner!

Good luck with your spouse!! I originally got into the game by being bribed. I saw a fantastic pair of Nike golf shoes. My boyfriend offered to buy them for me only if I came to the range 10 times all season. I've been hooked since.


Aaaah, now that sounds like a plan!! Bribery!!! Thanks for the suggestion and keep on sharpening those skills....

    • I think it's just to provide clarity. If you marked your ball with a pebble or a small twig, that's a loose impediment, and someone else could move it. An "obstruction" or a man-made thing, or an artificial thing, isn't a loose impediment.
    • Day 243 (2 Jan 25) - Grandson directed drills today - he wanted to hit easy pitches into the holes of the Martin bird house (had it at ground level) - it is doable but it calls for a perfectly executed shot.  He came close a couple of times.  For me it’s about distance control and such.  Drill two - me hit same foam balls to him while he’s in the swing saucer - into a slight wind…now it’s distance control plus anticipating the wind.  A fun exercise - got really close on a number of shots.  Drill three - take his youth Cobra SW and hit flops into to the foam ball basket while he was holding it. Great eye-hand work for him - wedge control for me.  That little wedge  works well.  By the end my junior coach was done and I was too….
    • Going to give this a try for a while and see if it sticks.  Day 1 Today was some full practice: 30 minutes of range work focused on coordinating weight transfer based on Evolvr feedback 10 minutes putting speed control work 10 minutes chipping practice with random targets 5 minutes bump and run work with 7 iron
    • Day 23: 1/2/2025 Had a great range session today. It was downright frigid this morning at the range, but the overhead heater made it tolerable. I started off working on my PPJ swing thought. Some slower, swings, somewhat exaggerating the movements. Then I switched focus and just hit the 6-iron about a half dozen times without thinking. I filmed two of these swings to send to Yoda.  After that, I worked my way up and down the bag (random practice... yay.) Hitting one shot with each club aiming at a specific target. I tried to focus on where and not how. Over all, I was pretty impressed with my results.  If you categorize each shot as either good, bad or good enough. I would say nearly all of them were either in the good or good enough category. Again, yay.  I'm going to do some more mirror work tonight, looking at my videos I think I can still improve what I'm doing. But over all, I was really happy with today's range session. I feel like I've had a giant leap forward in my swing. We shall see if the progress can continue.  Yay. 
    • Day 169: did a stack session. Worked on the early backswing stuff with slow rehearsal swings during rest breaks as well.
