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!

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
