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,

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!

    • I haven’t really filmed in a while. Starting to feel like my body is close to being at full strength again, but I am also 65! I played a few round and my distance is down as expected. Here are a 6 iron and driver swing. My grip is a bit weak in these so I’ve focused on that the last few days. I went over my Erie notes. I’m trying to swing down from the top and not out. I want my weight to start shifting forward at about P3. And I want to push my left hip back in the downswing, which I was not successful in these swings. Ball flight has been pushes or pull draws with the irons and fades with the driver. Looking at these swings I can see why. I just need to change the picture.   
    • I flipped the video above but here it is again so you see the flipped version, too.
    • Things can go awry quickly on that hole. 
    • I have played that course a lot. Mostly scrambles/outings. I enjoyed the read and could picture each hole and got nervous thinking about number 5. That hole is scary. 200 yard layup off the tee?
    • Even though you didn't score well, take solice in the fact you hit the longest drive of the year! 😏 I enjoy following your rounds and can imagine the scenario.   Thanks for sharing
