Where are the threads for the 99%?

[darvon]

Hello.  I just joined from Detroit.

I read here (and elsewhere) a lot of threads like:

"I need help with my driver. I used to be straight down the pipe for 330, but lately I have to back off to 290 to keep it in the fairway.  I play about 5 times a week, plus instruction and practice, but nothing I do seems to keep me back in the low 70s I used to enjoy.  Awaiting your tips...."

So where are the thread for guys that are lucky to keep it in two digits and get out to PLAY once a week, forget practice.  Who occasionally had a lesson or two a few years ago (or maybe more) and isn't 23 anymore...

You know....the 99% of actual people with a golf bag in their garage.

Just like me...

Im not sure what you're asking. Where are the threads for weekend hackers? Most people who only play once a week and dont have time for any practice probably dont have the time or devotion that most people here do. Once you join this forum you are probably beginning to take your game more seriously. I would like to think that as soon as I registered on the sand trap I dropped 10 strokes and started shooting 90s. But seriously I probably registered 6 months ago shooting 115 and have been on here daily getting tips and advice. I have never had a lesson but I practice alot more and now shooting 80s/90s.

Once somebody cares enough to join a forum and practice often you probably wouldnt be in that score range for more than 6 months to a year I would imagine.

There are also plenty of threads on here about people not being very good and shooting 100s or whatever but most questions people have at the beginning stage can be answered by a google search. Alot of threads on here are about opinions or much more technical things. Its a great place to have a question answered but it probably already has been with a quick search so no reason to start a new thread.

I have a feeling there are a lot of people like me who are exactly what you are talking about, but we never sign up/post.

I have been lurking around for months, but just registered. I am "addicted" to golf, but work/family/money restraints keep me from playing other than the weekends. I shoot mid 90s and I am thrilled with that.

I love reading everything on the forums, but never really felt like I have anything to contribute to warrant signing up. I figured I'd support the site and add another to the memeber count though :-)

Welcome Matt and Darvon, glad you decided to register and participate.  I'm a once a week player, but I do try to practice at the range at least three times a week.

Unless I'm missing something, there aren't very many guys starting threads about previously hitting it 330 and now only hitting it 290.  Maybe that's from the "other" site?
