My name is Joe and im 22 y/o. Im from Philadelphia PA but right now I'm deployed in Iraq ( Thank you US Army.). I get out of here in July and everyday I think about golfing again. I find myself on eBay searching for clubs and gear endless hours just so I can get my fix of the game. I currently just purchasing all the gear I need so when I get back I have everything. I plan on getting fitted for new Irons when I get back because I bought a set of clones for 75 dollars just to hold me off and they are NOT the right clubs for me. Slowly but surely I'll have everything I want. But I'm glad I finally found a site full of golfers that love the game as much as I do. Although most of you are much more knowledgable of the game and will most likely lose me in your conversations its good to have a place full of passionate golfers to speak too. Thanks everyone especially TheSandTrap.

    • 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.
