Hey everyone.

My name is Ian, and I've recently returned to golf after a 6-month hiatus.
I played on my high school team, and then in college, but stopped playing very often after I graduated. I'm a couple of years out of college, and I'm really starting to feel the itch to play a lot. I stumbled accross this forum and decided to sign up. Part of golf to me is the conversations that go on around the sport, whether on the course, the practice tee, or over a beer. I think it'll be fun to have a group like all of you to talk shop with.

I started up a golf blog aimed at helping golfers with swing problems. The idea is that people will write in with swing problems they are having, and post any videos or pictures of the issue on a YouTube or Flickr account. The rest of the community would then post comments about possible fixes, drills, or tips. I truly believe that a lot of golfers don't see professionals because they lack the time or the money to do so. Furthermore, many instructors don't bother to figure out how their students learn. As much as getting instruction from multiple people can be detrimental, I believe it would be benefitial to look through tips that people send in, and find the one that makes sense to you. Its free. I have a day job, and I'm not doing this to make any money. I just thought it'd be a fun way to participate in the online golfing community.

Back to the point. I'm excited to be on these forums and to talk about golf.
Thanks for letting me be a part of this.

Welcome to the forum.

Little tidbit that I wish someone would have told me when I first started...
Be nice with the reputation. if someone answers your questions, writes a great post, or submits cool topics, hit the little blue box at the top right hand of their post and add to their reputation. They will probably return the favor when you submit something meaningful.

Take care!

    • Day 233 (22 Dec 24) - Very late afternoon session (after watching the PNC finish - much more entertaining than the Showdown) with the 50deg, hitting nippy low flighted chips.  Really focused on foot position and keeping swing smooth.   As light was fading fast and temps were heading south of freezing, session was pretty abbreviated. 
    • Tiger’s walking at the PNC and people say he’s not limping.  
    • I haven't heard much of anything about it. Faux leather, sure. Biodegradable leather? No. No idea. You're a bit too new, still, to post links.
    • Okay, I'm genuinely curious about this "biodegradable leather" trend in golf. Are we talking snake oil here? I mean, golf balls, clubs... they all end up in the water eventually. Is this just greenwashing, or is there actually a real environmental benefit? And honestly, does it even perform as well as traditional leather? I don't want to sacrifice distance for the planet, you know? Anyone with real-world experience with these eco-friendly golf goods? Spill the tea!
