Learning to play by yourself is very difficult.  A golf swing is not a natural or intuitive movement.  Play again but get some lessons to get you going in the right direction.

Have fun!

Cici, don't take this the wrong way but you confuse people.

I've read posts from you saying:

- You're new at golf

- You've been playing for years

- You love golf

- Should you stop playing golf?

- Other people should play golf

- Your mother bought you a putter for your birthday

- Your mother bought you a driver for your birthday

It's all very confusing how much you contradict yourself.

I think so...have you tried table tennis?...there is not so much pressure to play OEM.  If you watch Forrest Gump, you can learn so much and go to cool tournaments in China.  So are you going to try?  I think you would be very good and will find a place where you will fit.  Good luck on your new career as pro table tenniser.

I read your threads.  Sometimes it hard to understand and sometimes not so hard.  But, other times very hard and very easy.

we don't know what is going on with cici. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. now, I have no idea. He did say he was playing golf for years and just got some new clubs. now, he is new to golf. so confused.

golf is a lot like life. the more you enjoy it, the better off you are. a3_biggrin.gif

Funny, funny post.

CICI is the greatest troll I have ever encountered on any board. He's obviously a troll but he is so skilled even I can't be 100% sure of this fact....

As long as it's an OEM dog - no counterfeits.

So you don't like table tennis or dogs? Why don't you answer the questions?

I don't think you should quit if you really want to play.  If you can afford it and have the opportunity and place to play, stay with it if you like it. You may not become a pro, but that will not keep you from enjoying the game.

Golf is difficult to learn on your own. If you have the resources, take at least a lesson or two to get you on the proper fundamentals. If that is not possible, try to obtain instructional videos or look on Youtube. Adopt good fundamentals of grip, stance, alignment, still head, upper body turn and stick with them.

      Day 2: worked on speed control via the ladder drill. First time trying this drill and it was much harder than I anticipated. Also worked on some greenside shots.

      Day 9 -  25 (9 May 25) Weekly shootout with the men’s group.  It was a very ‘meh kind of round - especially on the green - 36 total putting strokes taken, of that I had 5 3putts.  Granted the greens were iffy as they have been struggling with the heat and lack of rain.  Also my normal solid 8i was a chunk master - only iron misbehaving today.  Much to glean from today…still was fun competing in the shootout.

      This!!! Shocking how fast I forget this for chipping and pitching because I’m thinking of the other stuffs. This just cleans up contact so much. 🤣🤣🤣

      Putting Aids

      By mdl ·

      I've never used an aid. I dramatically improved my putting with two things. First, I realized I'd let my hands drift too far forward and it was messing up my eye for lining up to my close alignment point on the line to my aim point (I don't use the aim point system but do my reads by finding where I think I should try to hit the ball to for it to end up rolling in the hole). I set up a few cues for myself around setup to make sure my hands were in the right place. Second, I found a stretch on the shitty, thin carpet over concrete in my basement that didn't break. Then I set up two alignment sticks end to end (obviously in a straight line), and laid down a cup on its side at one end. Then I just put a golf ball the same distance from the alignment sticks as the center of the cup and lined up and tried to roll the ball parallel to the alignment sticks into the cup over and over and over. I've been solid at distance control since I got fit for my putter. Ingraining a feel for whether I've lined up correctly when I take a glance at my aim point has dramatically improved my putting. I'm no pro or anything, but I putt well for the number of rounds I get in these days.
