Just wanted to introduce myself.

I'm as new to the sport of golf as they come. I started dating a girl a few months back who loves to golf so last saturday when she asked if I wanted to go play I figured what the heck. I've played maybe 3 rounds of golf in my life (I'm 33) and hit balls at the range a couple of times. Well after hitting a couple large buckets of balls on saturday I was ready again to go on Sunday. Now I'm hooked.

I was one of those people who hated the sport and talked badly about it my entire life. Maybe it had to do with my third round of golf I played back in my early twenties. This was a trip to Tustin Ranch golf course in Tustin, CA where I managed to hit a house and then almost killed two guys sitting a cart (evil slice off the tee that went between their heads and under the roof of their cart). So after this trip I was a bit turned off by the sport.

Somehow my outing on sunday I was actually able to consistently drive and hit the ball straight with every club I put my hands on. So I guess not being terrible made me feel a little better and got motivated to give the sport a serious try. Both of us are currently looking into signing up for some lessons now and I'm in the market for a set of clubs. I'm keeping my eyes open for some Demo Days locally so that I can get an opportunity to hit several different clubs.


Again just wanted to introduce myself and I'm sure you'll see me asking a bunch of stupid questions in the very near future. I do promise to give the search feature a try prior to posting something thats been asked a million times before.


Thanks Again

Steve

    • Day 87 (27 Jul 25) - Made it an easy session with the wedge this afternoon, worked on staying in the shot and not lifting out - split between low spinners and higher floaters.  
    • Shot my new low 72 (par 70) today. Had 5 birdies, also a new best, which included a hole out from the bunker on par 3 6th, and another hole out pitch from 15ish yards on the long par 4, 15th.  Got a couple of other good breaks. Except for an OB drive on 14th (and ensuing double bogey), not much went wrong. All in all I might have used up a year's worth of luck in a single day. 
    • Back in the saddle after vacation.  Day 1: played 18. Did not have it, but still battled to an 82. Felt closer to a 90, but that’s fine. 
    • Yes, I have seen this from the older crowd that play the 4,700 yard tees and want to know why they get less strokes from there. Always trying to game the system 🤣
    • Day 300 - 2025-07-27 Good 44-ball segment. GSPro was acting goofy, so I just put it on the Quad. Then I hit a bunch of low spinners. Hit 14° down to 9.8° down, with the average closer to 12.3° or so. Focused mostly on the backswing. Right knee good, hands roll up and out a little before laying off (FAR).
