There were free lessons for children on at the range near my home when I was around 6. I'd go down every weekend and hit a few balls. The stopped it after a few months and I didn't get back into golf for a while.

Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus.... They were the top players when I first took an interest in the game, and it was watching them play on TV that really piqued my interest. Nobody in my family played to any significant extent before I did. My Mother would go out and knock it around a bit (very badly.... very very badly, and my Dad was worse) about the time I was graduating from high school, but I think mostly just because my Dad got a free CC membership as a perk for his job.

I never caught the bug until some 10 years later when the PGA Tour started being broadcast more regularly.

My father taught me how to play. Had me started when I was 3 years old and never stopped playing. Played a lot in middle school and everyday in highschool. But now in the military with family so lucky if I get to play once a week.

My Great uncle I guess... hes 90+ years old and hes telling me stories about how he plays golf (still) every other weekend... so I was like, man if he can do it I can do it. It would be nice to learn a sport that I can play for the rest of my life.

      Day 44 (13 Jun 25) - Friday men’s shootout…played so-so.  A couple of lost ball penalties on the front for a pair of dbl bogies (the only of the day) kept the score up - however had some neat recovery shots especially on the back nine to save par on a couple and bogie on another.  All in all - a good day to make the most of course management…and minimize miscues.

      Rules Story Thread

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      The first bit of 6.3 says teeing area rules apply when: The player is starting play of the hole (see Rule 6.1), The player will play again from the teeing area under a Rule (see Rule 14.6), or The player’s ball is in play in the teeing area after a stroke or after the player has taken relief. So yes, if you take Unplayable Relief in the Teeing Area, you can then move it or tee it up.  Note that for Back on the Line penalty relief, for Unplayable or Penalty Area, the relief area may be any area of the course.  For free relief, you must usually end up in the same area of the course as your ball was previously, That means you can't take relief from a sprinkler head for a ball in the General Area and drop in the Teeing Area.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Backswing: Finally getting the swing shorter. Right elbow is a tad too bent, but at least it’s not overly bent and behind me. Basically, my previous posts on just feeling more lateral shift right, internal hip rotation. This time I added in a large amount of feeling grip pressure peaking at A2. Just holding that grip pressure constant in transition. It’s added a bit of sensory feedback for where my hands are at and it control the club a bitter more.  Downswing: Making the swing this short has messed up my timing with my downswing stuff. The swing feels like 50% shorter in duration. I got to retrain pausing a bit and my downswing stuff.  On the positive. This is 3-4 range sessions in a row where the swing has been consistently shorter.
