Hello all, I'm a noob from the Cornhusker State (but not really a Husker fan LOL).  I'm about a 10 handicap and improving the more I play, I've been playing for quite a few years but only in the last few have I really tried to get better.  About my game:  I hit it a ton but struggle with accuracy off the tee, and my short game (wedges & putting) is definitely my strength.  I love trying new clubs but have done a good job sticking with my current set for over a year.

Haven't played golf away from home very much, I've played alot in Eastern Nebraska, and got a few rounds in in Florida and Las Vegas.

I've been reading the equipment section of this site for a long time and just now joining up in the forum section.  Glad to be here, and hope to continue to learn more about the game!  Oh and Rooster in no way means 'cocky', it is a softball team I used to play for!

I am a fellow Cornhusker player except I am a fan of the Huskers.  I just played 18 today in Lincoln.  I played at Indian Creek in Omaha over the weekend.  It is the nicest course I've played at to date except for Dutch Legacy in Minnesota at Cragun's.


typ3 - I don't hate the Huskers, but I don't take as much interest as a typical NU fan.  I've played Indian several times, it is about as nice as there is around town.

paxtonman - I played Quarry for the first time a few weeks ago, I was definitely impressed.  Will definitely go back.

    • Day 44 - Hit some wedges with the intention of working on my 100-yard shot, but instead worked the face a bit. Intentionally trying to hit the toe, heel, and center of the face. I definitely have a heel bias, but focusing on turning my body helped to get things in the center.
    • I think for this, I need to work on my weight transfer. I can feel my self looking up early and falling back slightly. So, I am hitting them a bit fat right now. I need to stay on my left side better or get to my left side better. Kind of like old pattern stuff.  Yep, I was a bit worried about the driver since we didn't get to it. First drive was a push draw because I moved the ball back a bit because there is no range to warm up and I wanted to make sure contact was good. I hit it great, just pushed it slightly. I was like, OK, this will work. I moved the ball back to the normal position and the next 4 out of 5 holes I used a driver was just the ball at most 10 yards off my target line. 😃  
    • Sounds good for the full swing stuff!
    • Didn’t score the best, but probably the best I’ve done implementing the swing feels on the course.  Preshot routine - make one practice swing hands down only hitting  the ground like 3 ft behind the ball. Make a 2nd practice swing where I add a bit of turn back in.  Set up and make a swing with those feels. Driver - A stripe show. Just laser beams at my target. Like under 10 yards of curve. Irons - pretty solid. Contact was flush. Just slight pull draws. Just need a bit of face control. It’s close. I had an 8 iron that left the club, didn’t leave the flagstick. The ball probably moved 1 yard in the air. I came up like 4 yards short.  Distance wedges - Needs work.  Short Game - needs work from different lies. Putting - Made almost everything inside of 10 ft.  Going forwards, still going to work on the swing. Backswing length and arms down stuff. I need to work on my distance wedges a lot. 
    • Reasonably dry by the afternoon/evening. Some players not seeing many or any mud balls. Maybe they should have hit their tee shots lower. 🙂  Also, for as much as this was supposed to be a bomber's paradise… Luke Donald is T3. He'll turn 48 this year.
