Hello, everyone! My name is Wes.

My uncle is a PGA teaching pro and owner of a golf course. I've been allowed to golf free all my life, but have never taken advantage of it until now (I'm 21).

I have no idea what my handicap is, but I recently shot in the 130s... on a par 68, 4500-ish yard course... but hey. It's always more fun when you have 50 shots to knock off instead of spending a year to knock off one or two, right?

I can't wait. :D

Hey Wes,

How are you doing,? I am right out of Herriman, Utah. I am also 21 years old and work in Sandy.  That's so awesome that your uncle is a PGA pro, very jealous of the free golf. haha. .  I am actually just getting into golf heavily this year too and I am VERY excited.  I usually just play by myself at Local courses around here, like Glenmoor and Riverbend, and Muligans.  What course do you usually play?

Ah, man, you're all around me! My uncle owns Schneiter's Pebblebrook on 1300 E. I also work there. Hit me with a PM and we'll meet up!

Oh man, Sandy Ut. I learned to golf at Willow Creek CC back in the early and mid 60's. After watching the Nation Wide tour on tv there last year it didn't look much like the course I remember.

The munies here in Portland Or are good and reasonablly priced, but the munies on the Wasatch front are better and lower priced.

Heck, I could almost be envious.

Yeah, we've got a few groundsworkers at Pebblebrook who also work at Willow Creek. Lovely course, I'm sure, but way too rich for my blood.

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
