last year was the first year i decided to play golf...i've played golf in the past but it was more of a outing and excuse to drink beer in the mornings with friends. didn't care about my equipment what balls i used. but last year i decided to actually play golf and study the never ending list of rules and sub rules and all that fun stuff. so after one year in the books i have a much better understanding of the game and can see myself playing for many years to come.

thanks Hammer4 and Gipper. i'm looking to really improve my game this year. last year was the first time i decided to really take up golf. i played in the past but just once in a while and didn't really care how i shot. last year i was given a set of irons and swapped then with a used set of tour preferred (i tend to hit my irons straight) and then at the end of season bought a used driver a demo putter and a fairway metal. got a hybrid as a gift and bought wedges. the set is complete not to fix all the bad habits i have from playing in the past (very nice looking swing but tend to dig my trailling elbow into my hip and take divots 2 inces behind the ball)

I think the divot behind the ball is an issue for a lot of us working on lowering out of a high handicap.  I have found an instructor that was pretty reasonable who has been helping me with it and I really like the progress he has helped me make.  After I have a consistent swing I hope to head up to Erie to meet with Iacas or at least do something with them online to be able to start tweaking it from there.

At any rate good luck on your golf journey and keep us all updated.  It is amazing how much one can pick up just by being on this forum.

yeah my next step is finding an instructor or just taking a couple lessons. went out today with my "franken-putter" (man does it look ugly lol) but it was an improvement and my ball striking was better today. shot a 95 still had my usual blowup holes quad bogey followed by triple bogey but it is what it is. i'm not expecting to be a low or even mid capper after one season. but i do like this site and so far everyone seems nice and very helpful.

just moved here but so far i really like pelham hills golf course and niagara falls golf club. i would avoid oaklands for at least 3-5 weeks (still in pretty rough shape) but everyone says thundering waters and legends are super nice and beautiful courses. i'd go on golfnow.com and check out some courses lots of deals. also beechwood is nice and i think the next few courses i'm going to check out is sawmill, rockway glen, international country club of niagara and hunters point.

      Day 84 - 2024-12-23 I hit balls for 20 minutes after lessons and after getting down a BodiTrak for resale. Hinge. Path was weirdly consistent today at 1.6° or so ± like 0.8° only.

      Day 13: 12/23/2024 A lot more mirror work today. Using my same swing thought. Some slow motion, some full motion, some in between. Today I made sure I took every swing all the way to the finish.

      Day 234 (23 Dec 24) - Mystery Monday - what to do today….pretty straight up as I spent time with the 58 and a series of pitches (lower flighted all the way up to high fliers over the tulip tree).  Wrapped up the day going lower ball with the 9i and easy bump and runs.  Again as always the setup was key - case in point, got lazy and casually set up, feet straight and promptly hit a couple of nice heely shots hard right.  Knew it immediately, as next couple I went through the routine and flew the balls promptly too the target point.  Setup - setup - setup…
