Hi everyone, I would have posted sooner but the anti-spam measures kept me from it.

Name is Behic, c sounds like a 'ch', from the western burbs of Chicago. I'm 27 and played my first round of golf on July 1st, 2007 and have been hooked ever since. Was at the driving range at a local 9 hole, par 27 course when my cousin, golfing for the past 2 years, coaxed me into playing a round. Never tried to play since I had only hit a driver on a range before that as something to do, but have always wanted to play golf. Some quick lessons on how to hit an iron, a quick round and 2 days later I bought an $80 set of Dunlops that were on clearance, a bag, and some balls. I've played about 7 9 hole rounds and one full 18 since then.

Glad to have found this place, lots of info around here and pretty friendly people so far.

- B

Playing 9 at Twin Lakes on Monday at 1. Nice little 9 hole. A few silly holes, but well maintained.

I also like Rolling Knolls in Elgin and Maple Meadows East 9 in Wood Dale.

Yeah. The east 9 course is fantastic for the money. Water 7 of the 9 holes. Nice layout. Picturesque. Sand is a bit rough but not the worst Ive seen.

One of my "home courses."

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
