Fairly new to the game and really enjoying it so far. I grew up in FL and have clubs down there, went to the range but only played one round about 10 yearsago. My brother in law recently needed someone to play with, so I said if he had a spare set of clubs I would go play with him. Really glad I did, managed to shoot ok and even got 2 pars(we won't talk to much about the other holes). So 2 weeks go by and we play again and this time I can't hit the ball to save my life. Somehow this is how I became hooked. I refuse to go down like that and can't wait to put some time into this game and really enjoy it. Now I just need to get my clubs back from Fl or get a new set!

Currently living in the Smyrna, TN area and can't wait to get to know yall and learn as much as possible.

In case you ever decide you may want lessons there is a 5 Simple Keys instructor at the Stone River Country Club named Rob McGill.  He is a solid instructor and has very affordable pricing.

I have a brother in Cookeville. He and I are the only ones left as two of my other brothers passed away earlier this year. Gene used to golf, but he must be about 87 or 88 years by now. Two of his boys also live in the area, one has a "mountain pony" mini  ranch. I should probably go back there soon.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 85 - 2024-12-24 Practiced for 90 minutes (which probably means I hit about 60 golf balls). No launch monitor, but plenty of aids and feedback.

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

      By GolfLug ·

      So got fitted in a 35" Odyssey Microhinge Double wide 'blade' yesterday at GG. Choice was between it, SQ to SQ, LAB DF3, Rose Axis and Mizuno Craft  (also a double wide). Apparently I'm pretty good a aiming right of the hole consistently regardless of putter type. But it all came down to distance control and the insert feel. We hit puts in the putting area for the fitting but then ended up on the aisle carpet to hit long 40ish feet putts. Which is where the Microhinge did the best for my stroke. The Mizuno was a close second. The DF3 and Axis weren't bad either but I just felt really confident over the Microhinge and slightly soft but firm contact resonated so well. FWIW, I wanted to like the lie-angle balanced putters more than I did and was prepared to spend a bit. I guess putting is the individualistic aspect of our game. Hopefully, I didn't leave anything on the table. Anyone who knows my putting knows I need all the help I can get.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug ·

      The driver swing honestly feels good. Haven't played in a/the course for a bit but did pretty good at the sim place yesterday.  The idea has been to reduce twisting shaft instinctively at impact. For this have weakened left hand grip considerably. Pushed higher up in the hollow of the palm to take out index finger and thumb in pressure application which is a major are major contributors of shaft twisting at impact. On the flip side, right hand grip is way down in the lower part of the middle fingers. Not using index or thumb much at all. It also is designed to prevent getting underneath the shaft too much at impact. More of a float-loady  'paint the ball' feel through the ball. Overall address and neutral grip keeps both lead and trail sides on respective sides of the shaft instead of over or underneath the shaft. It seems it allows/promotes moving the shaft/club unit in unison with wrist/elbow/shoulder joints similar to an elephant swinging it's trunk. It does not feel like I am guiding the club path or trying to control club face at all. Fairly organic. Playing TPC Sawgrass in about a month. Will see how it all holds up. I hear its a good test.. heh.
