Good day to all -

For a short intro - I am from the Northern Virginia (outside of DC) area originally, and lived their pretty much the first 29 years of my life, I then moved to Nashville to attend graduate school for an MBA degree. I love this city and was able to find a great job here, so I'll be sticking around.

I've been "playing" golf since high school, but it was a 4-5 rounds a year thing, and once I became legal (or maybe even a few years before) it was a great excuse for outdoor day drinking and busting chops with my friends.

While in school since I had a more flexible schedule, I decided to try to dedicate myself enough to the game so that I could become a "solid" bogey golfer. My main goal was to never have to turn down a golfing invitation because of the course difficulty or the skill level of the other players.

I took some lessons sprung for a new set of clubs, and started playing a practicing a good deal, and now I'm hooked badly. My job does not start until later this summer, and I'm done with school so the only thing keeping me from playing/practicing everyday is a slightly troublesome back.

I think I have found a passion and a hobby for life. I've made some big strides in my understanding of the game, and now see how deep this rabbit hole goes. The solid bogey golf aspiration is close at hand, and I'm already thinking of the next level.

I've been lurking on here since March or so, and love what I've read. Thanks for taking the time to read this -

    • Day 53. Played 9. Couldn’t find the bottom of the swing arc. It was bad. 
    • Awesome, thank you very much. I ended up giving them a call and you are right. Got to try out some different clubs, the first suggestion was the Wilson Staff Launch Pad irons I believe, the hybrid irons. Personally I wasn't liking them all too much, however they were much better than the old '74 MacGregor blades I've been playing. Then I tried a couple others, I forget what the one was but the one I ended up liking the best was the Cobra Aerojet irons. Overall feel and performance was the best for me on these, I also preferred the appearance and sound of these. Bit the bullet.

    • Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.
