Well hello there friends, just figured I'd throw my hands up and say hi. My name's Brad and I currently reside down in the Bayou State in a small town outside Baton Rouge. I work at a Kia dealership as an Assistant Service Manager and play golf on the weekend or my off days. I'm one of those lucky ones that has a wife who loves to play and enjoys coming with me.

I've been playing since I was about 8 years old with a long break from when I was about 15/16. We just started playing again a month or so ago and have fallen in love with the game all over again. I used my father's clubs for a little bit, but they were a little too long for me. Since I didn't really know what clubs to get etc etc, I just bought a cheap-o ebay set with a bag for like $70.

I know, I know, the clubs are embarassing. Although, for my current skill level/accuracy, I think they're an alright fit until I find a decent used set. I'm finishing in the upper 90s/low 100s for 18 holes and I usually put a little left to right midair spin on my drives so I figure until I master my swing, beginner's clubs are fine... :)

Nice to meet you all and I hope I can learn something!

Hello! My name is Joel and I live in Asia. This is my first time to post. "Nice to meet you all and I hope I can learn something! " ...... me too.

Hello,

This is my first post and I'm excited to join everyone. My name is Rob and I'm from Michigan, which is a beautiful golf state. I'm a lefty with a handicap around 15. Golf is the greatest game in the world and I can't wait to share our experiences!

    • Day 185 - 2025-04-03 Had a good 2.5 hour session at Golf Evolution. Kinda glad it was still wet and windy out today as I wouldn't have gotten such a good session in if I played. Got up to 93 MPH (with a pause) on my 6I and 130 MPH ball speed (on a different slightly slower hit, a bit more de-lofted than I'll want eventually).
    • I'm highly probable for the entire weekend, thanks for doing the hard work to set it up.  I can't wait for more details.
    • I take 2nd, is a confirmation that you can eventually win your major and also is good material for having a laugh about it in the distant future. 
    • I'm a relatively new golfer (<5 years) in my mid-thirties. So far I've spent most of my time and money on lessons and actually golfing. I'm currently a 90s-100s player, but hope to break into the 80s with lessons and practice. I'm definitely not of the mindset that flashy expensive clubs will help me play better...I try to make the assumption that my equipment is more capable than I am. That said, I do know that realistically that threshold does exist somewhere. I just have no idea where. At what point should I consider an upgrade from starter clubs to something I can grow into and improve with?  My stuff: Starter set (Callaway Strata) from Amazon. (3w, 5h, 9i-PW) Gently used Cleveland Wedges (LW, SW, GW) - My old ones were from a set from the late 90s, so I did upgrade these. Gently used TaylorMade M1 driver - The starter set driver had a regular flex, and I had several knowledgeable people tell me I should have a stiff flex Thanks in advance!    
    • Looking forward to this movie, it checks all the boxes for me. Indie Movie True Story Cast is all great character actors Walton Goggins! No Whammies!!!!!!!!!
