Hello everyone, my name is Eric and I am 25 living in Canton MI. I work in Ann Arbor. I am fairly new to golf. Started playing after high school. I played a lot in 05-07, but didnt play much after my fiance and I bought our condo in 08. Got back into it this year and fell back in love with the game. Now I am hopelessly addicted to the game. I shot my best score of my life (112) this past weekend. I am on a journey to be around 100 by the end of the summer. I love to play new courses and my best friend and I have played a bunch so far. I look forward to meeting new friends and learning a lot.

Hi Eric

I am new too - literally just joined the forum. I have been playing golf a few years now, and let me tell you, the first time you break that 100 mark (which will happen for you if you just keep playing) is one of the best feelings ever!

I would highly recommend going to a good local pro, just for 3/4 lessons, and he will be able to help you to get some really good basics together to help you evolve as a golfer :)

Best of luck

Yes, I am gonig to get some lessons here shortly. Also I need extensions for my irons as well. I am going to get those within the week.

Thanks for the reply and have a good day!

    • God I hate when golf can’t give me n+1 day of success. Drives me up the wall when my body is, FU! Im like, ok let’s check the vid. Yep too much turn, arms getting behind me. Ok, I work on that. Get the feel back for a shorter swing. Confirm with video. Then going back to arms down stuff.  Arms down, nope it’s hands out towards the ball. Oh, you get arms down better. Guess what, you don’t get to rotate and you hit 6 inches behind the ball. Yay!  Maybe I should have walked off the range and not wasted my time. I wish there was a body alert system when it’s going to a SOB for the day. 😭 OK rant over, I’ll be back at this tomorrow.

    • 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.
