This is my first forum, truly indicative of how addicted I am to golf. I started playing golf 2 yrs ago after many years of getting the nudge from my brother. I wish I had started years ago, because I can't get enough.

The first year I played I didn't break 100 until the very end of the season. I was fortunate to have been able to play quite a few rounds during our winter down in FLA that year, so I guess it kept my swing somehat in the groove. Last year I scored pretty consistently in the mid to low 90's. This year I hope to break 90 and keep it there consistently!

We'll see about that though... I like to set the bar high!

Looking forward to talking to all of you guys.

Welcome to the fray. It can get pretty messy in here at times... people are passionate about things. But that's golf, huh?

Welcome to the board. "I wish I had started years ago" is the motto of many of your new friends here too Congrats on breaking 100. I've been playing almost as long as you have and have yet to break 100. You've made quite an accomplishment.

I'm new here too. But I've been playing golf since I was 10. Just be happy you live in a warm state!! Once you get addicted the game, winters are brutal!! I live in Montana and we go 5 months with the courses closed. I trie to make it out every time the temp gets over 40 in the winter months. Even now, we're still playing around snow drifts on the course!!! Anybody else from the cold north on here??

Addiction is a great word for it. Big weather change for you.

Yes to both. You know you're addicted when you play and it's freezing

, and the weather change..well let's just say that I stomp my feet pretty much all winter (although oddly enough I do ski), and make sure I go somewhere warm at least twice during the winter months.

I too am new to this forum, I have recently picked up golf again after 15 years of doing other sports. I managed to get the handicap down to 8 when I was about 16 and now are struggling around a little bit higher than that.

One thing I noticed was the massive change in technology in golf. I think it is a lot easier now than it was because the golf clubs are so much more forgiving. Which I am all in favour of! Another thing I have noticed since beginning again is how addictive this sport is, I just want to get out and hit balls all day. i have to hold back and let life get in the way.

Anyway its good to read all the pointers and tips and also find out what is going on in the world of golf.

Nice to meet you all.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      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.

      Biodegradable Golf Leather

      By iacas ·

      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.

      Biodegradable Golf Leather

      By Nertens ·

      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!
