I can't spend ALL my time arguing on here.  There's people on Facebook to argue with! :-)

What I hope happens is by the time you get to 14, this community's membership count balloons to over 100,000, and suddenly parity plays a major role in this award. Then you'll trip over one of these o

Replaced by the Kickstarter award. Tagging isn't very sexy. :)

Wow, I won Member of the Month? Cool!

Bad news though. I got diagnosed with carpel tunnel syndrome a couple weeks ago. No joke. I thought it was tendinitis from golf (had it since May 2011), but it turned out to be more serious than that. I'm seeing a physical therapist and was told to reduce all computer use as much as I can. I'm not even supposed to be on here right now, but saw that I got some PMs as congratulations and sure enough, I won this award. Seriously, could the timing be more awful.

Anyway, I definitely try to make good posts as often as I can. It's too bad I won't get to post at all for a while because of this. Even typing this now is hurting me. I should make a full recovery though eventually and don't need surgery. But if I kept going on the path I was going, I would've made it a lot worse. I'm only 28 and never took the whole carpel tunnel thing seriously but it turns out it's a very real thing.

It's too bad because it looked fun to make posts with the Member of the Month award thing in your signature.... kind of gives your posts a bit more legitimacy. But oh well. I need this to heal. Badly.

Sorry for keeping this so short, and thanks a lot to everyone here who gave me a thumbs up in the past. It means a lot. This is my favorite website by far and this award is more of a reflection of the community here being so informative since pretty much all my knowledge comes from here. I'm just really good at using the search function. I've been a lurker since the first day I ever played golf and I joined the site only four months later. This means a lot.

I hope to be 100% again soon so I can return to being a regular member. Thanks again, guys!

JetFan, also sorry to hear that. Time to invest in some of the speech-to-text software packages? I've heard they're quite good these days (though I suspect their dictionary of golf terminology may be lacking…).

I don't know what to say. I guess first and foremost I need to thank God. Without him I wouldn't have the shotty attention span that I use to post on this forum during Stat 201 lecture. Umm. The state of Tennessee and it's lottery scholarship that helped pay for my laptop. And of course mom and pop. Without them I wouldn't even be here. But most of all. THANK YOU SANDTRAP!! Without your love and support I wouldn't be accepting this award. Y'all drive safe tonight and thanks for comin' out.

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

      By boogielicious ·

      I agree with @pganapathy about removing some clubs. I would recommend removing the 2, 3, 4 and 5 irons for now. Play with Driver 3W 5W 3H 5H 6 iron 7 iron 8 iron 9 iron PW ( you don’t have listed) 52 56 Putter Th 60 wedge can be difficult for new players, but you could keep that If your 3H is adjustable, increased the loft to be more like a 4H. Play with these on course and see if you can get a feel of the actual yardages for each club and especially the gaps between them. It may take 10 or more rounds. A par 3 course is helpful for determining the gaps in the irons and some woods too. A device like a Shot Scope H4 can really help give you your actual yardage on course.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice.

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

      By pganapathy ·

      A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By pganapathy ·

      Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
