I just started golfing. I've been playing a local par 3 course (all holes between 108 and 220 yards), which has been pretty awesome to learn on. I've been out 4 times and lowered my score from 57 with a lot of mulligans to a solid 51. I'm swinging an ancient Spalding Molitor set at the moment, but I broke my 6 iron and the grips are falling apart.

I just ordered the GigaGolf P2 (Ping G10 'clone' clubs) 4-SW set plus their 3 hybrid to replace the all the irons. I know clones are pretty controversial, but I really wanted to get new clubs and nothing else seemed to compare at the price range. I'd much rather be using quality custom clones than some random rebranded bargain basement OEM set. I find it a little odd that people are generally OK with component clubs but decry the 'quality' of Giga/Pinemeadow clones, even though they're essentially the exact same thing except for some minor design elements.

Anyway, I don't want to turn this into a debate on clones! I'm a brand new golfer and I'm not quite finding my swing yet. I'm excited about playing more.

Hi Jonnythan, I'm a new user and from Syracuse,NY. I saw your post on your clone clubs and hope that you enjoy them as much as I enjoy my Turbo Power irons(R7 CGB Max clones). I just started golfing again after a 6 year layoff.

Good luck to you, hit 'em long and straight

      Day 31: 1/10/2025 Not much time today. I did get at least 5 minutes in though because of the 7 iron outside my office door. Every time I went in or out I got a minute or two of mirror work in.

      Day 251 (10 Jan 25) - Was hoping the Friday group would play today, but it was a not go (I was a lone ranger).  Of course temps around 30 with some wind chill - so it was not a fair weather day.  Since I was going out solo - decided to play one of my faves - play from a different tee on each hole.  To keep it simple, I started from the tips (blue) and worked progressively through the tees - whites on 2, gold on 3, red on 4, grey on 5, back to blue on 6, etc.  Really changes how you work the approach game as I tend to play from the golds most days.  1st learning moment - fairways were firm and greens like industrial carpet on concrete.  So hunting pins was out - it was a day scrubbing speed with hitting a little short to let the ball scrub and roll out.  2nd learning moment - body is not as flexible so I had plenty of push slices, so the left side stayed pretty much out of play.  3rd learning moment - course played about 2 clubs longer, which was expected which meant more bogies and birdie looks were few and far in between.  Still managed an 86, so it was a good day for a practice round of a different kind.

      I've seen deer, Elk, turkeys, geese, ducks, turtles, gators, iguanas, beavers, a bobcat and several snakes.  I'm sure there's other animals I've forgotten about.
