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.

Should I buy a dog?

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.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
