Hi all!!

Just thought I'd say hi. I'm new to the game of Golf (I dont even know what the base handicap is).

Also, I live in Wales. Dont know if thats important but I thought I'd let you know.

Cheers,
Mike

Welcome to the forum! I am also relatively new to golf, although I have a handicap. It takes some time to learn the basics to be able to play and not feel uncomfortable. I suggest taking a few lessons with a qualified professional before you regularly start to visit the driving range. I don't think you should even get on a golf course for a full year. Instead, learn all about your golf clubs and how they work and get a rule book.

I hope not to sound too full of myself, but, if you need some basic pointers visit my website, http://www.golf-for-beginners.com If I can be of assistance, just ask.. Best Wishes Stacy
Hi all!!

Sincerely,
Stacy Solomon

    • Just like the 2022, 2021, 2020, 2023, 2024, and 2025 topics, we're doing it again in 2026! Once again, I'd like to birdie every hole at Whispering Woods in 2026 (and maybe every numbered hole on other courses). I'd like you to join me on this quest. This year's spreadsheet is below: 2026 TST Birdie Challenge - Google Sheets   Please click through, add your name, home course, and location, and when you make a score on the holes as you play them, update your line in the spreadsheet with your ringer score, basically. The idea is to score a birdie or better on each hole on the course this year. If you're above a certain handicap and would like to make it a par challenge, go for it! Just add that note to the Notes column. Please leave the formatting as is. And note that you only write down one score - if you birdie a hole three times, you aren't writing down -3. It's just your best individual score for each hole. We can all cheer each other on and see where this takes us! If you truly play a TON of different courses, then follow these two guidelines: If you just play a lot of golf, but still get 20 or 25 (or more) rounds in on one course, consider making that your home course and just doing the birdie challenge there. If you truly play only 20-40 rounds per year, and never more than a handful at the same course, consider trying to birdie holes numbered 1 to 18 across all of your courses. Or even doing it twice. Yeah, some hole #17s will be easier birdies than others, but that's why you might do it twice.
