Hello everyone. I just started golfing a little less than two weeks ago. It was a company scramble that got me involved. I'd never golfed at all and my goal the entire outing was for my team to use my ball just once. Turned out we used three of my longer shots and I made two putts as well. One of the puts was a 25-30 footer that put our team two under par for the win. So, encouraged by a little (very little) success I decided to do it again.

A friend who is an avid golfer took me to the range for some basics. I went from trying to kill the ball with little directional or distance success to swinging much easier and improving accuracy quite a bit. Unfortunately my distance stayed about the same, but he tells me that at this stage I should be happy to hit the ball at all. So I'm happy.

Anyway, this looks like a friendly place with some knowledgeable folks. I hope to meet some of you and gain from your experience.

Cheers,
Norm

    • Day 233 (22 Dec 24) - Very late afternoon session (after watching the PNC finish - much more entertaining than the Showdown) with the 50deg, hitting nippy low flighted chips.  Really focused on foot position and keeping swing smooth.   As light was fading fast and temps were heading south of freezing, session was pretty abbreviated. 
    • Tiger’s walking at the PNC and people say he’s not limping.  
    • I haven't heard much of anything about it. Faux leather, sure. Biodegradable leather? No. No idea. You're a bit too new, still, to post links.
    • Okay, I'm genuinely curious about this "biodegradable leather" trend in golf. Are we talking snake oil here? I mean, golf balls, clubs... they all end up in the water eventually. Is this just greenwashing, or is there actually a real environmental benefit? And honestly, does it even perform as well as traditional leather? I don't want to sacrifice distance for the planet, you know? Anyone with real-world experience with these eco-friendly golf goods? Spill the tea!
