Golf. I'm 39 and started playing last fall. Without a doubt the hardest game I've ever played. I've played nearly every sport and with this game it is something different every day. I teach and coach, it is like shooting a Free Throw with every shot.

Best advice you can get is...do for yourself as you do for others. GET TAUGHT. TAKE LESSONS FROM A QUALIFIED PRO.

Thanks. I've thought about getting lessons and getting fit for the right clubs. I feel like I've improved a lot on my own and waiting for a few more weeks before I go. I wanted to wait till I kind of knew what was going on and could understand what he was talking about.

A GREAT teaching pro will simplify and say things in such a way that you or anyone at any level will understand what he's talking about. Beware of the pro that wants to teach you everything HE knows and is too complex when it comes to angles, planes, positions, and other things of that nature, especially in the beginning. If he/she does...RUN!! RUN as fast as you can and don't look back! You'll be a head case for the rest of your life.

Equipment Thanks. I like buying and trying equipment and thats what I did when I started. Then I decided to buy all Titleist equipment. I played sports all my life, slow pitch softball for many many years and I did the same thing with bats. Expensive way of doing things but you can always sell what you don't like. Friends really like this because they can try the equipment as well.

Welcome to the forum, I'm new too! Pro lessons? In my opinion, overrated. Read all you can and use a video camera, that's what I did :)

LMFAO. Good thing Tiger didn't do that and still doesn't.

Tiger is also.....Tiger.

And what about the rest of the PGA tour members that have had lessons since childhood and regular teaching pros that they lean on all the time? I don't know whether you were being serious in your original post about lessons or just jerking around.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By retoid ·

      Awesome, thank you very much. I ended up giving them a call and you are right. Got to try out some different clubs, the first suggestion was the Wilson Staff Launch Pad irons I believe, the hybrid irons. Personally I wasn't liking them all too much, however they were much better than the old '74 MacGregor blades I've been playing. Then I tried a couple others, I forget what the one was but the one I ended up liking the best was the Cobra Aerojet irons. Overall feel and performance was the best for me on these, I also preferred the appearance and sound of these. Bit the bullet.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Becca ·

      Day 2:  I hit a bucket of balls this morning.  Not gonna lie, almost didn’t go since it was my first time going alone and it was a little intimidating.  I mostly hit with my driver (the last bit of balls was with my 7 iron).  The sun was in my face but I think the ones that had good contact with went the furthest yet (maybe 150 yards then a good roll?).  Once I switched to my 7, the first half of my balls were crap.  I’ve always hit my irons before my driver when practicing and done fine - does this make any difference or is it just because I’m so green?
