Hi everybody. Im from Greensburg, PA. About 30 minutes from pittsburgh. I have been playing golf seriously for about a year now and I am in love. Cant wait for the snow to go. I have been playing throught the winter on full swing simulators but its not the same. This forum seems like a wealth of knowledge. My goals for next year are to get my handicap into the low teens which I know is a pretty lofty goal. I have been focusing lately on learning to manage the couses better. Once spring hits I will hit the short game like its no ones business.
My Equipment
08 Burner Driver, 3 Wood and 5 rescue

Slightly off topic, but I can get to Wilmington in the same amount of time it takes for CC Philly ; turnpike; Blue route; I95. Take 301 South and I can get to Kent Island, MD on the Chesapeake faster than Cape May.

In my quest to end my newbie status I saw this post and so I will reply. I'm from Pittsburgh and I am glad that after being covered in snow for what seemed like an eternity, I will finally be hitting the greens (hopefully) this weekend. My goal is to consistently shoot in the low 90s this year and hopefully break 85.

    • Wordle 1,652 X/6* 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 Yup - one of those Wordle moments….
    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
