Well i'll start of with a bit of background: i am 15, lefty and am dropping shots everday few weeks . At my my club they are offering me a job picking up range balls and other odd jobs for 20 dollars for around an hour and a half work(this would only be one night a week). I have another job already and that takes care of my club fees. Any way i was thinking off putting the money from the range job into a "new clubs account" Has anyone done this ? is it effective or do you spend the money on other temptations?

Maybe you can work a deal with your club. Get some clubs from them and work off the cost? Just a thought.

Budgeting by placing money into the goal of some purchase is very effective. It's a lot easier to avoid spending it on candy bars at the supermarket if you think of each candy bar as being that much farther from your new clubs.

A buddy of mine had a fairly large debt to pay down and was putting something like $450/month towards it. This works out to about $15/day. Whenever he was tempted to spend $15 - such as by eating at a more expensive restaurant instead of cooking or fast food, or buying a DVD, etc - he thought of it as being one day farther from being debt-free. Amazing how that thought kept him on track with how he wanted to spend his money.

If you're prone to give in to temptation, let your parents hold the money until you can afford the clubs you want, or open a savings account WITHOUT AN ATM CARD.

One of the best things you'll ever learn in life is how to put your long-term goals ahead of instant gratification. This is a good chance to set a goal, make a plan, and follow through.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
