I have been using this site to improve my game for the last couple of months (about 6) and felt it was time to join.  I have found the resources very helpful and have dropped my index from 15 to 12.2 over this time.  This site has made golf more enjoyable as I am showing improvement, instead of being the same 15 for the last 3 years.

I just wanted to thank all the members for their great insight, videos and drills.

My avg. for the last 5 rounds

83, 10 fairways, 6 greens, 33 putts and 3 penalties.

Thank you for making my goal of single digit possible.

Personal information

I am 33 year old male and play at least 2 rounds a week.  I started playing golf with my father when I was around ten.  He had me take private lessons and played at least weekly with him at the club.  I did not play as much through my 20's as I was attending college and grad school.

    • 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?
