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??

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

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
