Hello Folks - This is my first post so be kind.... I'm 51 and just started playing golf about 2 years ago. I broke 100 for the first time a couple of weeks ago but that's kind of beside the point. The game is fun, its great mental and physical exercise and its even helped me to become a little closer to my sons (my oldest is 23 and just started playing this spring -- he has been hitting his 5 iron over 200 yards and hits an 8 iron 170 yards -- this seems a bit absurd to me...what do you think?) At any rate, I've enjoyed this forum so I've taken the membership plunge. Looking forward to having some fun with you folks here too! Peace (anybody seen a cherry Chrysler Crossfire around...I seem to be missing one! -- Way to Go Boob D!

Hey, and you are right, the game of golf is great for so many reasons. That is really neat you are getting closer to your sons by playing. And congrats on getting under 100, that's always a fun experience. Now it's on to breaking 90.

Anyway, it's great to have you here and hope you have some fun along the way!

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

Congrats on breaking 100! I've only recently accomplished that myself and it is very satisfying. I think part of this site is celebrating the game itself and every milestone whether you are breaking 100, 90, 80 or whatever.

Plus celebrating boobs is good too.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

Actually, either one given as a gift, would suffice!
And, breaking 100 is difficult to do...congrats!...but once you accomplish it, you realize it wasn't that hard. As you approach 90, you will start realizing that you "could have" made 89 if you would have "just made that putt".

Of course, when my husband comes home after playing with his golf buddies, complains about his 88, I want to SCREAM!!

Sincerely,

    • That’s a 19th hole story that would be recounted for many, many moons to come for sure…..
    • I know. I was just kidding. BTW - I'd take the second place with the meltdown. It would at least make a good story. 
    • That answers my question.  That feels more natural to me. I'll work on that. Thanks
    • Complex question. Good players begin pushing forward around P2. Visibly around P3. They're well on their way forward at P4.
    • Still plugging away with the teacher.  I do have a question after working on some drills last night. This is something I should know already but for some reason, I have gotten myself confused. It deals with weight transfer on the downswing. At what point, should that take place?  Should it be early (prior to reaching A4) ?  I ask because in one of my drills  I get to A4, I feel the weight transfer AS my arms drop, and then go.  Now this may be totally normal, but I "feel" like this gets me in a weird timing position and causes me to try and do too much at once.
