My name is Stacy and I am new to the forum.
I am a relative beginner in the sport, but enjoy it as much as anyone who has been playing golf their entire life.

I love to watch the PGA Tour, try new golf clubs at the range (even though demo days don't offer a large selection of clubs for lefties) and play as much as humanly possible...weather permitting!

This is officially my 4th year playing golf on a golf course.
Before this, I spent my first year at the driving range, taking lessons
and perfecting my swing. As of last season, I stepped back to the
white tees, but the ladies' publinks play from the reds, so I believe I'll be playing from both sets of tees during the season.

My best score to date is an 84 at Dunwoodie, and I always play the ball
as it lies as per USGA rules.

More to come,
Best wishes,
Stacy@golf-for-beginners.com

Sincerely,
Stacy Solomon

Welcome. Out of curiosity, since you came to the game later than most: what made you hit left-handed?

Welcome. Out of curiosity, since you came to the game later than most: what made you hit left-handed?

I am a lefty since birth. My sister was changed over to a rightie in first grade and now she's ambidexterous (which isn't bad either!). By the time I went to school, teachers allowed the students to "be who they are" and left me alone!

I usually practice with my husband's right handed pitching wedge at the range, just so that I can get out of trouble if need be. My golf ball recently got caught up near a rock and I had to turn my golf club over and hit a beautiful shot 4 feet from the pin...and sunk the shot for PAR!

Sincerely,
Stacy Solomon

I don't usually show off - it happens all on its own

Sorry abt the misspelled word - it happens when my typing gets ahead of my mind! Abt the Masters, I only like the Masters when Phil is in the TOP 3... Actually the Masters are probably the most enjoyable of the Tour events.

Although I was fortunate to have played Wykagyl CC, I regularly play Saxon Woods, Maple Moor, Pelham and Split Rock in the Bronx. I'm not a fan of Sprain Lake, although I have golfed there a few times. If you are a regular to Saxon or Maple Moor, we may have played a round of golf together!

      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
