Howdy everyone

My name is Andrew. After 26 years of failure, my father finally got me on the golf course and I feel like I've been missing out! It's a lot of fun and I enjoy learning and playing. I'm hoping to pick up a lot of tips and use the forum to expand my knowledge and have some fun!

Haha... Yea, I was raised a huge Hawkeye fan by my parents, but they ultimately wouldn't let me go so I could keep my head in the books and not in the toilet :P Ames isn't too bad though. It's small, but you can have some fun there. I'm a Cyclone fan now, too (except when they're playing Iowa); so it gives me more games to watch and another team to root for

Yeah same situation here. College of Engineering is great. I've always been for them when they aren't playing Iowa. But, still a diehard Hawkeye fan.

Got out on GV once a few weeks back, wasn't too bad. I heard wave was in sorry shape so far, but havent been myself. Ask Seven Iron, she should know.

I've hit Deer Run about once a week and Rolling Hills a few times.

      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.
