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...

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!

50 shots for you 1st nine hole on a GC is very good keep it up... I know a lot of beginners that took a long time to break the 100 mark...

Way better than my first 9 holes. Aren't you the one that has spent a lot of time on the driving range? Apparently it served you well.

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

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
