Playing after twenty-five years on the sidelines

[stevejason]

I purchased a set of clubs in April. First time I've struck a ball in twenty-five years, like starting over again. I think my golf muscle memory has Alzheimer's. I used to be a bogey golfer at best. This week I finally broke fifty. It's a struggle, but I will persevere.

Welcome back to the fold.  :)

Welcome to the trap, and enjoy the new clubs.  If you are back in it for the long haul, schedule a few lessons with a local PGA instructor to help fast track your swing - good investment.

I took one lesson and it helped. Plan on taking another next week, chipping & sand play. My putting seems to have suffered the least.

Finally broke a hundred (46 & 50) and got my first birdie. Took a chipping lesson, the only thing I'd been doing correctly was keeping the ball off my back foot. Now I've got a friend playing again. He's getting ready to purchase a new set of irons.
