Afternoon fellow golfers

[Saint_Viper]

Just a little introdution.

My name is Adrian im 28 and i live in Lancashire, UK

I started playing golf in February and was hooked straight away. Since starting i play at least once a week and if possible i try to get a 2nd game in.

I started playing on a small 9 hole course which has 1 par 4 and 8 par 3`s, this i feel has helped my shortgame a lot. Its par 28, and the best ive managed so far is 39, not great i know but im now starting to get a lot more consistant.

Ive only played a full 18 hole course 3 times, 1st time was a disaster lol finished about 78 over par. I went back to the 9 hole course and continued to work on my game. Next time i went back i finished 40 over which i was very pleased with. My big aim is to break the 100 shots for a round, im only 10 shots off so i would hope that it will not be to long before i manage it.

The 18 hole course i played was the following

As i said before im totally hooked on the game, just wish i had started a few years ago. Im not a member of any club yet, but once i have improved my game slightly then this is the next thing i want to do. Im still on my Wilson starter golf kit, but im not already looking at what clubs i want to upgrade :) The wife wont be happy when she sees the price lol ;)

The only real problem i have with my game so far (besides consistancy) is i have a huge slice when ever i use any of the woods. Irons i can hit 7 times out of 10 straight, the woods though i have no idea where they will go lol. Ive read a bit about my problem, so just need to put what i have read into practice on the driving range/course.

Anyway i think i have babbled enough so, im sure i will speak to you all soon :)

Welcome, Saint Viper. I dig the nickname.

We've got quite a few folks from the UK that hang out here, and it's always good to have another.

Welcome to the board. You will definitely enjoy your time here.

And don't worry, I sliced the heck out of it when I started playing golf as well. I couldn't hit a driver without hitting it way right. So I just started aiming way left and it worked out great!

But nowadays I actually have a little draw, so I have come a long ways. You will get there, it just takes a lot of range balls and playing.

Welcome again!

Hi Adrian,
Welcome to "the gang" !

You got some fantastic courses in that part of the world as you progress and feel happy playing them.Dont worry too much about those wood problems either - its normal for them to be harder to hit at any level.Keep attacking the problem head on and dont hide them in a dark cupboard under the stairs.

Enjoy your time here......
