I've been on here for about a week now and didn't realize there was a spot to introduce yourself. So here goes. I'm 24 years old and I live in Montana. I own a retail furniture store and I'm a complete golf addict. I've been playing since I was about 8 but didn't start taking the game seriously until 3-4 years ago. I play every chance I get, and when I can't play I like to read, watch or talk about golf. Oh and I'm about the most inconsistant player you'll ever meet. I've played 4 18 hole rounds this year and my low score is 75 on a par 71 and my high is a 93. That's consistancy for ya!!

I'm new as well but welcome! How's the golfing in Montana?

We've got some great mountain courses around here but the season is WAY TOO SHORT!! I played yesterday and our bunkers still have snow in them!!

I think you might need to look into a new wedge. Was the snow fluffy or packed?

I've searched the golf shops for a "snow wedge" but they just don't make it.

Here's the big chance for you to make your millions! Design that sucker! When I was a young fella playing on the high school golf team but stuck in the middle of winter, two of my team members and I would go out with 3"-6" of snow on the ground and take shovels and brooms with us to clear a green and a spot from about 150 yds out to hit. There were two traps at the green and I wish I had a "snow wedge" back then. Now I won't even consider going out unless it's 55 degrees or higher. I've turned into a wuss.

Haha, I've know what you mean. I grew up in Anchorage, AK so I know the snow all too well... Make sure not to get under the ball when hitting from the snow hehe...

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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?
