Every little bit helps in this game. So i thought i'd give it a try online to help my game with some free advice. I've been playing since feb. of 09' and it's starting to get addicting.....

welcome, enjoy golf with your friends and family and have fun!

some tips:

1) keep your putts low
2) listen to your mom and dad
3) be nice to your brother and sisters
4) practice from the hole back, putting, chipping and pitching
5) have a pre-shot and pre-putt routine
6) keep track of your putts and up and down per round
7) distance control is more important on putts
8) learn the fundamentals of golf, grip, grip pressure, posture, stance, take away
9) play with better golfers
10) spend more time practicing the short game, putting and chipping
11) eat your vegtables
12) hug your love ones and tell them you love them
13) watch videos on golf, Mark Crossfield, short game
14) swing like Tiger Woods, its not Tiger Wood on the video
15) have fun
16) don't forget mother's day
17) practice swing with your feet together
18) visualize a circle and making contact just before the bottom of the arc for most irons shots, this will help set the backswing angle
19) set your shaft down the line and with the toe pointing up and the face perpendicular to the target on your backswing, hip high for the start of your backswing.
20) introduce golf to a friend and child
21) Read Chicken Soup for your soul.
22) learn to live below your means and not over spend.
23) have goals in your golf game and have a plan to achieve those goals,
24) hit the small ball before the big ball.
25) learn what causes the ball to be topped, slice, draw, hit thin so that you can make adjustments
26) drink water and have snacks in your bag
27) walk and carry as much as you can.
28) golf is a game of opposites, you hit down for the ball to go up, if you are right handed you pull with your left hand, you keep a lose grip to hit it farther and generate more club head speed.
29) ask your friends, what is heavier a ton or lead or a ton of feathers?
30) ask your friends, if you can see farther in the daytime or at nighttime? (stars is the hint)
31) Welcome again!

Welcome, fomoco.

Playing to an 18 after just 14 months is pretty solid. Best of luck with the never-ending pursuit of... whatever it is we're all pursuing!

Cheers,

Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course... the space between your ears.

thanks doc,

i'm pretty accurate with the irons, and can land the greens in two. But when comes to chips and putts, stand back people it's gonna be awhile.

Hi everyone, just wanted to say hello. i couldnt make my own post so im just posting here. after not playing for over 5 years, im back! bought some used mizuno MX300s and a R9 driver. still have my odyssey 2 ball blade putter and my RAC 56 and my Cleveland 60.

Hey guys, add my hello on this post as well. I'm in the Oceanside area and have re-started last year after not playing for ~8 yrs. Used to play casually up in Nor Cal (Walnut Creek, Antioch area) with some old Wilson clubs. My neighbors and I would play twilight with some beer and very relaxed rules (i.e., mulligans on every hole!!! :)) This time, I'm focusing on getting my HC down and no mulligans - we'll..., maybe on the first hole without any warmups. :)

    • Day 13: 12/23/2024 A lot more mirror work today. Using my same swing thought. Some slow motion, some full motion, some in between. Today I made sure I took every swing all the way to the finish. 
    • Day 234 (23 Dec 24) - Mystery Monday - what to do today….pretty straight up as I spent time with the 58 and a series of pitches (lower flighted all the way up to high fliers over the tulip tree).  Wrapped up the day going lower ball with the 9i and easy bump and runs.  Again as always the setup was key - case in point, got lazy and casually set up, feet straight and promptly hit a couple of nice heely shots hard right.  Knew it immediately, as next couple I went through the routine and flew the balls promptly too the target point.  Setup - setup - setup…
