Great to be here, folks! I haven't played since about 10 years ago, when I was plain terrible. Now I expect to be a little worse. On the plus side I'm going for my first lesson tomorrow.

Cheers,

Bogdan

Gaber and Bogdan101,

I imagine you guys are Maple Leafs fans.  I hope we can get along because I am a Senators fan.  Yes, I am from California and I like hockey.  Been a Senators fan since they started back up in Ottawa.  Welcome to the site.  There are a lot of smart people on this site when it comes to all things golf.  I am not one of those, though I hope to be someday.

    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
