Welcome Erik! I have never visited the "home country of golf" but have a friend who will be visiting soon. Please have fun wandering around the site and make yourself at home here at The Sand Trap.

We are a great crowd and LOVE GOLF! What equipment do you use? Do you play only 9 holes at a time or do you also play regulation?

Sincerely,
Stacy Solomon

Cheers for the welcome. I use texan golf clubs, but I have a Howson driver. I had two clubs which broke, but got free replacements.

I only play about 7 holes at a time usually. The reason being that at my home course, juniors need a handicap of 12 or less to play the 18 hole course. I play the 9 hole, but usually skip 7 and 8. The reason for this is that it is a large hill, 6 takes you down, then 7 back up, then 8 down and 9 is flat more or less. So, you can just skip from the 6th green to the 9th tee.

Welcome to The Sand Trap! You will definitely learn some stuff here and probably even have some fun debating with all of the other crazy golfers.

Playing in Scotland is definitely on my short list of things to do before I die, so hopefully I can make my way across the pond sooner rather than later.

Again, welcome aboard and see you around.

...I am a junior golfer, 14 years of age ....

ok, no more picture of Mrs. Woods on the forum please!

But seriously - welcome. You don't even know how lucky you are - you live in scottland, you play golf at 14... you have whole life of golf ahead of you. The misery, frustration, anger, helplessness, fury, rage, nervous breakdowns for years and years to come... I envy you

Cruden Bay is a great course. Are you going to play the 18? or the junior course? The 4th hole out there is awesome as is the 5th. 17 has a huge hump in the middle of the fairway. Great course. Not very long but not easy.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By rod7515 · Posted

      Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By rod7515 · Posted

      This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod
