'Allo, everyone... new-ish golfer here. Finally decided to join and stop trying to soak up information passively! I've only just started playing, to the tune of 2 rounds with friends and 4 trips to the range. I'm not as horrible as I'd feared, but far less talented than I wished... I'm reasonably athletic, so this is driving me bananas. That said, that particular feeling seems to come with this game: my dad especially assures me that it is in fact the case. However, I have a rather open summer, and a goal of playing as well as I can with some deliberate practice and dedication. We'll see how that goes!

Off to post my first "Member Swing," although I'm mildly horrified. I've seen "feel ain't real" on this forum already, but whoa...

Cheers!

Welcome and good luck to develop your game: feel aint real, but it aint unreal either - as with many things in golf, the answer is somewhere in the inbetween. Good Luck! :beer:

Good to know! Can't say I'm surprised really, since we appear to have more courses around here than I would ever have expected, having not noticed them all driving around in the normal course of things. Plenty to explore once I get a bit of improvement under my belt!

M@ssholes unite! Haven't managed as many lessons as I'd hoped by now, but a fair number of rounds. Of course, that means most of y'all are lucky: I continue to ensure you don't have the worst handicap on this board from our fair state! I'll have to carve out more time ASAP (& update my swing thread to something a bit less embarrassing)....

If your looking for a lesson in the city, Jesse Struebing has a spot inside MIT.  He helped me out a lot even though I have only been to him twice I have definitely cut some strokes off my HC because of him

Hey there, thanks for the recommendation - you're actually the second person to recommend Jesse, which is awesome since he's right across the river. I've been in touch and we're looking to connect after he returns from the holiday weekend: hopefully, I'll have the same results! Feeling a bit better about seeing someone now anyhow; my swing is a *bit* less embarrassing than it was when I started at the end of May (i.e., I can usually connect with the ball and have a decent result vs. whiff city). Fingers crossed and can't wait!

Cheers...

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By klineka ·

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
