My name is Wendell. I've played golf off and on, mostly off unfortunately for almost 30 years. I finally bought my first set of "real" irons (Titleist AP1's) just before Christmas last year. I seem to be hitting them pretty good...well, better than the old set I had. Looking forward to getting to know as many folks here as possible and hope to get in a round or two with some of you in my neck of the woods.

God Bless,

Wendell

Hey welcome! I'm new myself. I live out in Cathedral City - which being so close you probably know. I normally just say "Palm Springs" because 99.9% of the people I speak to have no clue where Cat City is. Welcome to Titleist irons - they are my personal favorite.

Welcome to The Sand Trap, Dubya D!

Thanks for the welcome guys!

hey dub i live in hemet right now for a little while we should get together to play hemet landmark

I usually play there or Diamond Valley. The greens at Landmark (FYI-they changed the name to Hemet Golf Club) look really good after the new management took over. I'll give you a weeks notice next time I head out there.

I've lived out here a long time so, yeah, I know where you are at. I like it a little better on this side of Mt San Jacinto during the summer...gets freaking hot your way!

    • Awesome. We were originally going to play Quail Ridge but ended up moving some things around and are going to do the following when we go in May Day 1 Tobacco Road Day 2 Southern Pines and Pine Needles Day 3 Tot Hill Farm There are a couple good course vlog/matches on YouTube at Southern Pines, it looks awesome.
    • I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills. 
    • You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized. 
    • 32 putts are average for a single digit handicap golfer. Limiting three putting is the biggest task. Speed control is the most important aspect of putting. Probably the 2nd most important is aim.  The putter is going to rotate open a bit on the backstroke. It might stay square to the arc of the putting stroke, but that does mean the face opens up a bit on the backstroke when measured against where the face is oriented at address. Go get a putter lesson as well.
