What's up everyone! My names Zac, full time student at the University of Michigan-Flint. Have played hockey my whole life and just took up golf a couple years ago. I started at about a 28 hadicap and I'm down to a 10 already. My best round was a 77 last year. I really want to work on my game this summer and get my handicap below a 5. If anyone lives near by and needs a playing buddy I'm always looking to hit the links!

No worries about the handicap man, I could care less. I've golfed with guys anywhere from a -2 handi to 50. It's all fun just the same.

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      32 putts are average for a single digit handicap golfer. Limiting three putting is the biggest task. Speed control is the most important aspect of putting. Probably the 2nd most important is aim.  The putter is going to rotate open a bit on the backstroke. It might stay square to the arc of the putting stroke, but that does mean the face opens up a bit on the backstroke when measured against where the face is oriented at address. Go get a putter lesson as well.

      Keep us up to date with your findings, please.  I'm not looking for a putter, but I'm sure you're not alone in your venture to get the putts rolling better.
