Hello everyone.

My name is Doug and I just started swing the clubs about three weeks ago.  The family signed me up for two free lessons and I'm on my way.  My buddy (who is also just starting out) and I played a par 3 9-hole course this weekend and I shot a horribly unrespectable 49.  I'm using an entry-level Japanese brand of clubs (Fit Way).  Oh yeah, I'm stationed in Japan for the next two years.

I don't really know anything about golf, beyond some very basics, but it is very relaxing and therapeutic.  I look forward to what the future brings with this golf game.

Thanks,

Doug

Welcome to the forum...that socre isn't horrible for just starting out. From what I've seen with the coworkers I'm teaching is they can't grasp the idea of how to chip, may be similar for you. Keep at it and you'll do well.

On a side note, not sure where you're stationed but if they have a base course play there as much as you can. It may not be the nicest course (never been stationed in Japan so I'm not sure the condition of them), but it should be cheap and fairly wide open. Many of the base courses I've played seem to play short and rather easy compared to higher end courses or muni's.

      Day 39: did top golf for an hour with the family. It was fun but also not really like real golf at all. Also did some mirror work - working on the backswing stuff mostly.

      Day 4, 1/2/26.  Played 18 today;  didn't get a chance to warm up (had I known the range was closed, I'd have hit balls at home first).  Played okay, 92 with three balls in the water.  It was raining for more than half the round and I didn't quite appreciate before today just how much I benefit from roll on both drives and approach shots.  I did not adapt well to this change until about hole 15, which is something I have to figure out.

      Day 143 1-2 Arch wrist in downswing. Having a SLIGHT cup in the lead wrist at the top now. Only paused swings with some rehearsals before swinging at ball.  Used foam ball.

      Day 459 - 2026-01-02 Had two guys on GEARS Hybrid, so I hopped on afterward (I'm going to do this a lot more often now). So… I've signed myself up for another month of backswing work in two ways: A little more extension of the trail elbow (got into the upper 90s) Less pelvis turn (low 50s).

      Day 31 (2 Jan 26) - Usual Friday men’s group shootout - good day of shot making  as most shots were right on line to the target point.  Putter and green reads were solid with some great par saves and a really tricky birdie.
