Is there a time that's too early?  Is the putting green nearby if nothing else is ready?

We're not playing golf until 1pm.

Also, lunch will be at 12pm and will be indoors at a large table. We'll all eat together, then golf to follow.

It was a blast. I played like garbage, but unlike my playing partners, I managed to avoid houses and small children...

Hey, I avoided a house!  I hit it over the house.

Yeah, despite my lousy performance, I had a good time.  My highlights:  I did Mike's bunker technique ( http://thesandtrap.com/t/54554/how-to-hit-sand-bunker-shots ) and hit it onto the green to within 5 feet!  And I got my first ever birdie on a par 5.

The main problems were (in no particular order):

1) I was already sore from putting up drywall.

2)  I got a very helpful mini-lesson from Erik & Mike, and then promptly went out & tried to implement what I learned on the course.  BIG mistake - and I knew better, just couldn't stop myself from thinking about it.

3)  The cart girl never showed up!  I strated doing better on the back nine.

We had one house hit pretty good, luckily the house kicked the ball back into play from OB.

Great day. Waitress needed a shirt two inches longer.

I'm trying to envision a situation where the waitress needs a shirt 2 inches longer .....but I just can't! Perhaps a picture would help...... :-D

Had a ton of fun and loved meeting everyone. Thanks to those in my group (saevel & dad, uncle robot) for putting up with my "rough patch" in the middle of the round. I have some work to do... Special thanks to Erik, Mike, & Kick X for everything they did to make it happen. Looking forward to playing with everyone again.

Driveway! You managed to get a picture of one of my few decent shots! I would have taken some pictures but my phone was completely dead by lunchtime. Anyway, fun time even though I played very awful golf, and great meeting you guys. Hopefully everyone had as good of a time as I did. Learned a ton, played a great course, got to hit some cool clubs. Lost $2,000 so I'm going to have to drop out of college but was able to win back two Orange Crush sodas, so that's nice. If this happens again next year, I'm in. Hopefully we can get a few more east coasters to make the drive out.

If I recall correctly...the drive you photographed found the middle of the fairway, and the hybrid shot pictured went about 205 leaving me in perfect shape for my approach... In other words, Mike...you need to follow me around the course with a camera because those were pretty much my only two good shots of the day lol I think I hit 3 from the tee like 8 times...

Looking forward to hearing individual tales of glory and woe.....either here or on the "What did you shoot today?" thread.  Don't leave us hangin'........

    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
