Some years ago,I want to learn to play golf by myself.However,you know,it is not so easy for me.

Now,more and more guys would like to play golf.so, I want to learn to play it agin.but when I given up some years ago,I want give up again.

Should I give up?

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.

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 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
