I played my first round today. Played a 112, wasnt that bad for a first round i guess but i lost 2 balls :[ the only things that made me mad were 1. somebody stole a sleeve of balls from my cart when i went to get a drink from the clubhouse. 2. the guys i played with were playing in the low 80's and the group behind us was the fastest group of guys id ever seen play golf (and they had NO patience) so everybody had to essentially wait on me the first 9 holes. but all in all i had a blast and cant wait to play again soon. when is it least busy to go usually?

You shot a 112 and only lost 2 balls? You're basically the best first-rounder ever! Haha. Seriously man, that's a very good start to your golfing career.

Nice score for your first round, I think mine was about 120 first time. I only played my second round last weekend (8 months after my first!) and thought I played terribly but ended up with 29 stableford points or a total of 105. I played terrible on the first 6 holes - even got a 10 on one and visited the water on another. After that, I managed a few pars, and missed a 6 foot putt for a birdie on a par 4.

My initial hopes were to break 100 this year, but as I'm hoping to get at least another 10 rounds in plus I'm getting a few lessons from Monday, I think maybe 95 is a more realistic goal.

Still, I love playing and know I can improve. I know I can hit well at times so I need to work on my consistency.

I just find it amazing that you only lost 2 balls. I lost that many on one hole in my first round.

this was only my first time on a course but ive , been practicing alot at the driving range putting green and a chipping green. so im pretty good at getting the ball where i want it to go, just dont have a lot of distance etc.

That's very good. I've played worse and lost five times as many balls through 18 holes at a handicap of 17.

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
