I have been reading posts and advice from TST for a while now and decided to finally join the other day. You guys have a great community and am glad to be a part of it! I am 24 and I started playing golf for the first time 3 years ago for fun with my college roommates but have just started to really work on my game a couple months ago. Most guys I play with shoot mid 80s or so, and have been playing for a while. Right now I shoot a consistent 98-106, some days if I am finding water it might be a little higher with drops.

I have a 4 year old Tight Lies set by Adams, 6i-sw, 5h, 5w, and 3w with the Adams driver. I really feel like I need a 4-5i in the bag. I can't hit my woods or driver to save my life. I do not spend a bunch of time practicing that though as I have not found an effective method to practice that has improved my contact. 90% of my drives are slices.

I just graduated college and am a 7th grade teacher, so taking lessons from a pro is out of the question now. You guys will be my pro :beer: I became a member at a little par 3 course by us for $29 a month and have found that playing there over the past 2 months has caused my iron game to improve significantly but man do I need work off the tee box. I hope over the summer I can join the bogey golfers club and break 90.

      Day 56 - 2024-11-15 Light day. Lots of catch-up work. Checked the grip to make sure I wasn't compensating there, and did a little backswing work.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 197 (15 Nov 24) - Played in the Friday men’s group outing - blustery conditions in play (wind gusting 10-20; spotty pop up misting rain; temps in the mid 50’s), so it was a good day to work on course management.  Solid round of 83 (41/42) - 7 GIR, total 32 putts - included 10 pars (3 being up and downs), a dbl and triple bogie.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      Have been on a mid to low 80’s roll of late - today was no different with an 83 (41 front / 42 back).   Played in the Friday men’s group outing - blustery conditions in play (wind gusting 10-20; spotty pop up misting rain; temps in the mid 50’s), so it was a good day to work on course management, delivering 7 GIR, total 32 putts - included 10 pars (3 being up and downs), a dbl and triple bogie.  Local course starting to get that winter feel - wet areas wetter, thin grass thinner, greens  trickier.
