Well, I guess I've got the itch! this past saturday (sept 15), I played 18 holes in Cullman, AL. it was the first time I'd ever been on a course, so for one, i was nervous as crap because of etiquette and the such...

first hole was absolutely terrible... i almost hit a car to the right, and next ball went about 10 feet to the left...

second hole was ok, i suppose, but bad enough that the guys i was playing with quit keeping my score

3rd hole, i quit because i was about to start cussing and pitching a fit

5th hole, i had relaxed a little, so i decided to play again.. lot better than first 3...

quit again at about 11... balls kept going for a swim


overall though, it was fun, hope to get back out there soon...

Hit the range and get a lesson with a pro. Once you start getting the ball airborne, you're off and running. Going to the course too much when you can't get the ball going might put you off, so don't rush it.

i just started too! my first time will be friday. i have been at the range every friday before softball. i ave about 150 to 225 when driving. Every week it seems to carry a little more. i am still working on my iron play. the farthest i ahve hit with 3 iron was about 200 or less. it has not been to bad. manage to get 70% of ball in the air and for the most part straight. can't wait till i can really put some power behind my swing. oh i use adams A2 hybrid irons

Well you're screwed! Your life is no longer your own.

You will soon be obsessed with:

1.going to the range (day or night),
2.golf collectables (balls, cups, tape dispensers...),
3.watching hours of golf on TV, (if you don’t have HDTV, get it),
4.watching replays of all Tiger's great rounds (Tiger Week is not on The Animal Network),
5.an attraction to all things plaid,
6.golf jokes.

Make a space in your closet or garage for all the clubs and training aids you will buy, use briefly and set aside, but somehow will not be able to part with. And say good-bye to sleeping in.

There’s more, but I don’t want to hit you too hard, too soon.

      Discipline

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      Great post and I agree with almost all of it. The discipline piece is real — most golfers want the result without the reps. One thing I'd add: there's a version of discipline that happens away from the range too. The 20 handicapper who texts the next day with a full-speed video — that's not just a practice discipline problem. That's an identity problem. He still sees himself as a 20 handicap who's trying something new. He hasn't made the internal shift to being the golfer who practices with intention. I work on the mental side of the game and what I've found is that the golfers who actually stick with the slow, boring, disciplined practice are the ones who've done some internal work on who they believe they are as a golfer. The ones who quit after two range sessions never changed the story they tell themselves. They're still running the old software. Discipline isn't just "will you do the reps." It's "do you believe you're the type of golfer who does the reps." That belief piece is what separates the ones who text you the next day with a full-speed swing from the ones who actually put in the work.
