I found this site by doing a little research and I am amazed at the similar circumstances surrounding the creation of golf boards. I suppose dissatisfaction with one board or another leads to many "new births" regardless of the subject matter.

Anyway, I am in a similar circumstance. I am the webmaster at www.shottalk.com Shot Talk was created as the result of shoddy administration at another GR (not the same one). I started the board last August and in the early days I was consumed by site design and not so much with membership. Today, The design is nearly done and I have focused my attention on membership, which is what has brought me here......it's not what you think...I did not come here to spam the board but hopefully to share information and perhaps a reciprocal link or two.

Whatever your feelings about your GR may be, the guy has his act together and I have been studying his technique, I actually asked him point blank how he got so many members to such a young board but he never answered me so I have had to dig deep to find some answers, I don't have them all but I think I am getting close.

SO, enough of that, I like what you all have done here, Personally, my golf game stinks to high heaven but I can't get enough of it. Last year was really my first year of playing seriously.I live in Connecticut and I joined a league, did some tourneys, got a handicap and all that, I hope to get some lessons in this season to get my short game up to snuff and the handicap down.

Cheers!

Yes, I am, as are anyone labelled "Assistant Pro." We try not to take ourselves too seriously.

Thanks iacas (could explain that screen name to me sometime?)

I tried to post some pics of my home course on the fly this morning but you have the file size set to abysmally small (35kbish). I was going to do an [img] link but they are attached to my site so I have to get them situated alone on the web somewhere and post them tomorrow. Think about that file size thing, it adds alot to the site when people can attach pics of good quality and at the same time not kill your disc storage.

Cheers!

It's currently set to 35kb for a reason. If you have suggestions in the future, a PM or an email is a more appropriate means to the end.

I see.

Ok, well I guess I misunderstood the tone that I picked up from reading the posts in the archive. My apologies. Cheers!

      3 Wood Shafts

      By rod7515 · Posted

      Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod

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

      By rod7515 · Posted

      This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod
