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 6: 2026.01.09 Some swing work in the mirror. Need to work on home setup to be able to get more out of evenings where I can't make it to the range.
    • I would like to amend my original comment on the new Maxfli irons. Yes, $800 for forged irons is a pretty good price and they do feel good BUT...I have since found out that $800 is only for off the shelf, standard issue clubs with standard lengths, lofts, lies and shafts. Any change made from stock results in huge up-charges so that the final price ends up pretty much the same as similar forged irons from any of the major manufacturers.
    • These were almost all included on the list of Clarifications or revised Model Local Rules released just a few days ago.  I'm pretty sure the first 3 are brand new MLRs (Moved/Wrong Place, Embedded Ball in someone else's pitch mark, Internal OB applies only to tee shot) that the PGA Tour is choosing to use.  The 16.1 Rule (relief near a Putting Green) was revised allowed a Committee to give relief for more than just Immoveable Obstructions, microphone holes would be classed as GUR (a hole made by the maintenance staff).  The replacement club rule was available before, the E-3 (Lift Clean and Place distance) could have been defined as "one scorecard" before, they're just a change in how the PGA choices. Here are the January 1 Clarifications and revised MLRs https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/rules-hub/clarifications-of-the-rules-of-golf.html#cp
