Like many a long time lurker on TST reading and taking advantage of all things golf. Love the site and finally decided to make the leap and join. First time ever to join a group like this.

A little about me. As you can assume from my avatar I am in the Army currently stationed in San Antonio Tx. Been playing what I would consider serious (my wife says obsessive) golf for about 5 1/2 years. Work at my game almost every day as I am fortunate enough to have a job the time to do so. I am hoping to continue gaining new golf knowledge and insights. Play to a fairly legit 8 HC but looking to go lower. I submitted a My Swing video yesterday and only received only piece of advice (although it made sense) I was hoping for more suggestions as looking through other posts there seem to be a lot of them including from IACAS and MVMAC. Not a complaint but more of a "how do you get it" question.

Anyway thats me and looking forward to getting to know others here.

      Awesome. We were originally going to play Quail Ridge but ended up moving some things around and are going to do the following when we go in May Day 1 Tobacco Road Day 2 Southern Pines and Pine Needles Day 3 Tot Hill Farm There are a couple good course vlog/matches on YouTube at Southern Pines, it looks awesome.

      I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized.

      32 putts are average for a single digit handicap golfer. Limiting three putting is the biggest task. Speed control is the most important aspect of putting. Probably the 2nd most important is aim.  The putter is going to rotate open a bit on the backstroke. It might stay square to the arc of the putting stroke, but that does mean the face opens up a bit on the backstroke when measured against where the face is oriented at address. Go get a putter lesson as well.
