I've been Playing Golf for: I've being playing a few months, Beginner.

My current handicap index or average score is: Looking to improve. average score is breaking 100 now

My typical ball flight is: My ball flight is high for short irons mid, irons.

long iron are not high. nice lower flight 3,4 iron. but can hook a few.

i use to slice driver alot but i have that under control now.

and their doing a bit better.

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: But i can pull a few now, so will be looking to reduce that. and the long iron hook.

Hi

This is my swing.

Thanks for looking.

any views very welcome.


made 3 pars and 5 bogeys with the swing today, wow if i could do that for every hole, i'd be very happy.

had birdie chances on a few holes, long putts.

only ever got one par per round before, so making some progess.

hit alot of nice iron shots, hitting greens.

but my putting was shocking.

messed up some holes so my score was pretty high 112

feel i can do alot better, was raining down on us.

no better feeling than hitting a great shot.

more progess!!

I Played a lovely course last night.
Made 5 pars there and shot 95.
Think maybe was the best i played, still tho left alot of shots out there, driver was a bit up and down.
Made some putts for once but missed some i should not miss too.
Was in the water off the tee, was out of bounds off the tee but was driving some 250 down the middle ish too, hooked a few too but they were ok.
Had bunker trouble on one hole but the iron play was pretty solid.
The little hybrid i have was working well.

must do better!!! Not my best driving day.

Seems a bit better than a year ago. Am hitting irons pretty solid and long. Always a draw shot.

My 5 iron was rolling past 200 yards the last day on the range down the middle. was a good day, i never hit it so well. Finding the target area alot better now i feel.

Am well happy with it, plenty work ahead!!

i just feel its a shame, i did not take up this great game sooner.

but am really enjoying it!


i'm using a old set of ping i3 blades stiff black dot in good condition and i really like them.

I picked up a set of mx-25 with 6.0 rifle shafts and pw 9 8 were like lazers but with alot! less distance to pings tho, but from 7 down they were going right, unlike my ping i3 7 iron. i could not control them no way, they felt lovely, like butter but no distance and i was like when the hell are you going, i could not trust them.

so i sold the mx25 as quick as i got them maybe wrong shaft for me too stiff...

i think i got lucky with this ping set, suits me very well, i did not like mx25 6.0 thats for sure.


Made a hole in one today!!! Was on a pitch and putt course, ball teed up, about 110 yards into a small green.

56 degree wedge, made my day :)

That's my third hole in one, but that was the longest, nice high shot. is only a pitch and putt course tho

if i could just do that on the golf course now from the dirt.

happy days

its amazing what kinda crazy stuff can happen, with a club and a ball

I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 92 low 90's trying to break into the 80's

My typical ball flight is: pretty straight now for irons, used to fade them but now more likely to draw alittle or dead straight. Driver is straight usually will draw little or fade at times

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: shank is my most hated shot, don't happen to often tho, thankfully, miss right, would be were i'm missing, thankfully again not to often

Lots to work on.

Thanks for viewing and the help

A tip that helped me alot that i also see you do with your driver is to keep you left leg and hip where they are. You seem to lean back quite alot woth your hips and then move them forward again.

You dont do it with your iron shot though. To be honest, i think your iron looks alot better somehow. Anyway, i dont think im really entitled to give you advice but there it is. Best of luck.

    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
