I am 18 and have been golfing for two years now. I graduate from high school in two weeks and I am going to Oregon State with a 4-year scholarship. I plan on being an officer in the Navy.

I usually score between 80 and 85 on my home course. I'm Consitant with everything but my driver (I just upgraded so hopefully that will change). I took lessons from my local pro a few months ago. He helped me drop about 10-15 strokes off of my game (I was shooting between 100 and 95).

Anyway, I'm Glad to be a part of the Sand Trap Community!

Wedges: CG10 52°, 56° Scotty Cameron Studio Style Newport 2 Balls: NXT Tour, Pro V1, Nike One, Callaway HX

Welcome aboard. Four years of college and then joining the Navy? Nice. Going to try to play golf at college?

I just started using my HiBore as soon as I got it. It works great. I am no longer afraid of my driver.

The scholaship I got was for Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps. Basically, the Navy pays for my college and at the end of four years I get comissioned as an officer. Hopefully I can make the college team.

    • Day 171: mirror work while watching tv. Working on cleaning up the backswing stuff. 
    • Day 25: 1/4/2025 Mirror day. I did some good mirror work with a 7 iron. Once again focus here is on pushing the carpet away with my lead leg. Sort of like I'm sitting in a office chair and want to scoot across the room.  Later, I used the putting mirror on the putting mat. Rolling 8 footers down a straight line on the mat. 
    • Day 96 - 2025-01-04 Fighting it. Keeping my streak alive, but not by a lot. Got all of seven minutes or so in today. Maybe eight. 😛 Still backswing. Trip next week might be interesting, ha ha. Not gonna worry about it.
    • What does this have to do with the topic?
    • The Top flite Gamer, designed by Callaway, was once an excellent budget ball and won many gold awards from Golf Digest. The original Gamer was a 3 piece ball with a urethane cover. The 2024 version is a 2 piece ball with a cheaper ionomer cover. The top ball below clearly shows the cheaper 2024 2 piece Gamer and the bottom is the 2021 3 piece Gamer.   DSG acquired the brand from Callaway and has systematically destroyed it.
