Finally! today i went out onto the course for the first time ever and played 9 holes. The course i went to is a 9 hole public for $10 and you can play all day if you want. It was a HOT and sunny day in SC today so i could only play 9 or else i may have passed out. The course is a par 35 2597 yards and i shot a 50. Overall i feel like i didn't play all that bad considering that it was my first time and that i went out by myself so i didn't have much guidance. The first hole is a 454 yard par 5 and i hit a beauty with my driver about 250 yards down the fairway and as im walking to my ball im like, ha this isn't that hard...little did i know i ended up shooting a 9 on that hole hahah. One this is for sure, i now have a new found appreciation for the game, it has humbled me and watching the PGA Championship i find myself saying "wow" on every shot that doesn't get hit into water or the woods haha. Anyway, i can't wait to get back out there and play some more, now that i have been out once i know what i need to do to shoot lower next time!

Um, you didn't play that bad even without the factors.

No, no, don't say that. Because...

Yeah, that's why. Anyway, glad you had fun!

Haha yeah! It's only about 5 minutes from my house. It's on the Winthrop University athletics campus so i guess thats why it's so cheep. Even so, the course is in good shape and it's surprisingly clean given that it's on a college campus. One of the best things though is that there are never many people there and the guy working the course told me that is pretty much the norm. Ill be going there quite often

Nice 14 bucks isn't bad. Yeah i lucked out, but im going to be moving back to NY in december so i guess i need to take advantage of the opportunity while i can. Fortunately ill be able to play into december down here because it really doesn't get too cold to play. It doesn't compare to the fierce NY winters im used to.

Very good. I know I shot in the 60s my first nine. You actually shot 41 through 8 holes which i think is pretty damn good for a first time. Keep it up!

Hope you didn't lose too many balls :P

And, what things went really wrong? Now you have something to work on. And, welcome to the club.

If I had been keeping score, counting drops and penalties, I would have shot 50 on the first 4 holes I ever played!

Yes i have been going to the range on and off for about 8 years so, with some guidance from my uncle i guess i came out with a decent swing.

Hope you didn't lose too many balls :P

haha yeah i only lost one ball, but i found 3 so i came out on top!

Thank you guys for all the kind words! The first thing i noticed when i signed up for this site was how nice everyone was and it still reigns true. Everyone on here is great and i appreciate the support, it makes me want to be the best golfer i can be! Thanks again

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
