Hi everyone - great site - I've been skulking around for a while reading the forums and I thought it was time I at least said hello.

I'm from London (England), have been playing golf for about 6 years and without any formal lessons I have managed to get to a level where I can hit low 90's / late 80's with reasonable regularity.

I took the plunge last week and had my first lesson in a concerted effort to learn how to swing from someone who knows what they are doing. I am really looking forward to putting some time now in to improve my game and get in some decent scores.

Anyway - catch you all in the forums.

Welcome to the forums. I'm glad to hear that you're taking lessons. It may throw you off at first but over time it'll give you a greater understanding of your own swing. I took a few lessons a while back and it was very helpful plus the swing check Erik published a while back was very helpful to me.

I hope you learn a little and enjoy the cameraderie around here.

    • The 2026 Thread is here:
    • 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.
