Alright new to the sport always been a fan and watched but never reeally had a intrest in learning to play but me and my friends won a round at a really good and nice course in scotland and thought we would get some practice under our belts before going, so we have a few mths to practice, I have been going for around 3 / 4 weeks now just at small 9 course just now but working up,

Cheers :)

No doubt will be asking a few questions on clubs and a good set to start out with i just have standerd dunlop just now but going to grab myself a new set before i go because im really enjoying golf just now and can see me sticking at it,

Hi Haggis

It is good to see a new golfer being so keen and interested in the game. I would stick with your Dunlops for now and just practice down at your 9 hole course.

The most important thing to remember is that golf is meant to be fun, so have fun. Try to play with a smile on your face.

Also - if you bank balance will allow it - get a lesson or 2 with your local pro (or ask around at the driving range for a good pro near you) and I can promise you that after a couple of lessons (especially as a total beginner) you will improve very quickly :)

Good luck

Thanks, Yeah i know a few places where you can get a few lessons, Right now as i said i am enjoying my golf not the best at it and one of the most frustrating sports i have ever played,

Would you stick to dunlop clubs even when i go to this course in a few mths or would you recommend getting a new set for it?

    • 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
