It looks like I have finally found a decent community full of players. I couldn't handle reddit/golf anymore - too many "critique my swing" and "I finally broke 120" posts.

About me: I'm from Southern California, going to school in Utah, currently doing an internship in the Dallas, Texas area in Operations Management. I'm 27, I live and breathe golf, like many of you. I'm married, (2 years) and a little girl on the way (October). I play as much as I can (at least once a week) and carry a 3.5 GHIN.

I used to play with a very regular group of fellas in the Provo, Ut area, and now I don't know anyone in this area to go play with, or can find a decently run league to join. If you are from the DFW area and know of something consistent, pass me some information.

What I play:

TaylorMade R11,9* (lowest loft ~8*) Aldila DVS 80X 44 1/4"

Titleist 910f, 15*, A1 setting Diamana 'ahina 82X

Titleist MB 710, 3-PW, X100 +3/4"

Cleveland CG15, 52*, 56*, 60*, +3/4"

Scotty Cameron Fastback 1.5, 35"

TaylorMade Penta TP, or Titleist Pro V1x

I look forward to spending many hours here rather than working. Cheers!

Hey there, neighbor. :-) Didn't know /r/golf had grown. I checked it maybe 6 months back and it was practically dead.

I've got a group of guys that plays pretty much every Saturday, and even if they don't...I do.  Just hit me up via PM and we can set something up.

    • Yes. If you choose to take the ball out of the bunker instead of taking maximum available relief… it costs a stroke.
    • I got another one today....Number 17. Par 5 that has water left and right on the layup. I smacked a drive down the left side and got a little lazy on the layup and fanned my 6 iron. With 112 to a crowned green I got it to 3 feet and birdie!  Only 5 and 15 is left for this year! 
    • Maybe I didn’t explain this properly. Back and front can be confusing.  There was no place in the bunker that didn’t have 2-3 inches of rain water in it, except for a small spot on the slope nearest the pin. If I had dropped there I would be moving 6-7 feet closer to the hole. Since my ball was just inside the bunker, farthest side from the hole, I dropped one club length backward, which brought me out of the bunker. I could not have hit from that deep of water. Are you saying I would have had to take a penalty stroke due to rain water? 
    • Day 550, May 5, 2024 Got a good hour in with a typical (for me) two-stick setup: pool noodle angled in front, yardstick on the ground angled 45° behind me.
    • Day 130: Cinco de Mayo Day 7/24 of Full Speed Spectrum training. Difficult training day after struggling to certify my warmup yesterday, and today. Finished 13 mph lower than my training speed on Thursday. Hope to hit some balls today.
