Hey guys, I'm new to the sport and the forum. I usually only golf once or twice a year with my family. However, I started going more and more with my brother recently, and I got hooked. The last time I went out my shots were straight and right where I wanted them. It was a great feeling. I had a lot of fun. So, I decided I needed to get some clubs of my own. I went to a local used sports store and picked up a set of Big Bertha irons, a putter, and the cheapest stand bag they had - all for $100. I feel like I got a good deal. I decided to just go with irons and a putter for now since I can't really use woods at the moment. Also, the course I usually play on doesn't require any woods. I think the irons are the '94 model? They say RCH 90 regular on the shaft. Let me know if I'm wrong or how I can find out for sure. I took them out to the range and was having trouble making solid contact. I'm used to steel shafts and a slighy smaller club head and I hope it's not going to be a problem. I'm hoping I'm just not used to them. I'm still fairly new so it's most likely user error. I plan on getting some lessons within a week or two. Well that was a long intro...

Welcome to the site. My mother moved to the DFW area and the last time I went to visit I played Fossil Creek twice and Iorn Horse once. Fossil Creek was a great course, give it a try if you haven't yet. I believe it's located in North Richland Hills. Good Luck with the new sticks.

I'm actually headed out to Fossil Creek on the 28th for my brother's birthday. I've heard good things about it. Plus, his friend is paying for the round and I just have to buy some beers so it's looking even better.

I'm still trying to get used to the big berthas, but they're growing on me.

      I have an update… I don't have much of a response, because the fact that they would ADD the numbers for the lead and trail shoulder together… I mean, wow. I was giving them too much credit. Nobody would think to assume they were doing THAT. That's beyond comical. One of the biomechanists I talked to put it this way: "So if I squatted down and went from 180 to 90 deg knee angle, then I would say 180 deg range of motion because I have two knees?" I'd type more (maybe), but honestly, I'm laughing a bit too hard. 🤣 Update: Mini Manavian blocked me on Instagram, so I cannot see his post showing Bryson with about 50° of range of motion (with a driver) from P4 to P7, and 75° only if you go out to the mid-follow-through. What a terrible loss for me. 😉

      Thanks, interesting to read. The swing is definitely very timing dependent. I hit it consistently I guess but consistently bad.

      I've shot 91-74 on the same day before. Couple of years ago played a two round tournament on Bethpage Black. I shot 72 in the first round and 90 in the second. First round I played very well. Second round I played okay, but had about 5 shots that hit the lips of bunkers and bounced down into them. A couple of those wound up in footprints - I was unamused - and I failed to get them out. Anyway - lots of bunkers and my bunker play isn't great and then add a couple of footprints and me getting pretty tired and it added up to a lot.  Only you can really tell though what's causing the variance. It might be that your swing is very timing dependent and when it's timed well you play well and when it's not then it goes all over the place. In that case, some lessons and working on your swing could be the key. If it's more that you tend to feel like you hit it fairly consistently, but you have days where the shots come off and days where they don't, then that's more likely a course management issue. If that's what you need to work on, then you could read Lowest Score Wins and build a plan of attack based on that.  Rest assured though that a pretty big range from high to low is fairly common. Even PGA Tour players often have 18-20 shot spreads from best to worst rounds in a season. It's a common affliction among golfers.
