Just played for the first time in 7 years

[Desert]

Played 9 and Shot 55. All in all I'm pretty stoked. Some of you may have seen my post on the lie fitting fiasco I went through with my Ping G20s (fitting 1.5 flat when I need to be 1.5 upright). After Pings awesome customer service, I had the irons adjusted Friday and they were amazing. Hit some great approach shots and had a ton of confidence with them. Unfortunately, my putting was horrible (3 put 8 of 9 holes) and my drives are even worse (monster slicing balloon shots off the fairway 25+ yards). If I get those two things marginally better, I'll be breaking 100 easy. Can't wait for my lessons to begin in June!

Best of luck on the game.  It sounds like you are off to a great start.  I would suggest prior to the lessons that you practice with the putter.  A few well asked questions regarding putting on this forum could probably give you some great drills to help you reduce those 3 putts.

On the score card, a 6" tap in costs the same as a monster drive.  So the fastest way to reduce your scores is with the putter.  Best of luck in your journey, and be sure to keep us updated with your progress.
