Talk to a pro, get a lesson, and get properly fit for clubs. There's no sense using a baseball bat or glove that is meant for someone of a totally different build, and golf equipment is the same. You don't need a full set. Irons tend to come in full sets for adults, but if you can get a half-set, and are happy with it, there's no problem with it. Get the irons and a putter. Play the par-3s courses a bit. Savor the experience. Move up to executive courses. Get a driver, a hybrid, and some friends and play a regulation course. Dazzle them with your fantastic short game built up from these. In short, get the right equipment and go have fun. That's good advice for most any sport.

    • Day 135 (27 Apr 24) - played Bradford Creek today while waiting for the missus fly in from her extended visit with the grands.  Good day to stay focused as it was a hurry up (groups pressing from behind) and wait (groups taking their time ahead)…a good day to stay mentally in the game - play the shot and not get frustrated in the waiting…
    • Day 122: 4/27/24 Supposed to be a Stack training day but I was beat after yard work today. Practiced chipping and putting at The Creek. The practice green is pretty slow but the session went well. 
    • Went to the range today and was cursing myself when I got there as I realized I forgot my phone. I added an earlier wrist hinge to the short backswing I was using last time practicing and ball strikes were really good for the most part. I'm heading back to Boston Thursday to see friends and family and have a couple of rounds planned so I'm hoping to keep this feeling.  Yesterday morning I weighed in at 232. My goal had been 230 but maybe now it's 220. I'll have to think about that. I feel so much better without the extra 90 lbs. from 2 years ago. Still a softl slightly less protruding belly so it might be time to go hard on eating better. Work in progress. 
    • Day 7- Went to the range and hit a bucket. Also did some chipping and putting. 
    • Day 543, April 27, 2024 Practiced for about an hour today. Almost all slow, with plenty of rehearsals.
