Hey guys! Greetings form Indianapolis.

So I started golfing about 2 months ago and so far have been really enjoying it, never really thought golf would be my thing, but I dig it. I have played 6 9 hole rounds and 1 18 hole round so far (which about killed me this weekend).

I have watched a bunch of David Leadbetter's instructional videos. I think he is a good teacher, and was easy to hold my interest. Overall I think watching the videos helped a ton, got me thinking about things during play and have substantially been improving my short game. My father-in-law sent my wife home with a Hank hanky DVD this weekend for me, but I didn't find his instruction that engaging. I think he hit 4 balls in the entire thing.

I just ordered Pelz Short Game Bible, and Putting Bible last night. Eagerly anticipating getting those in.


Anyway, I am glad to be here. I hope to learn a lot, and look forward to sharing and participating.

Welcome aboard. You've found a great resource here with TST Browse around and you'll start to see a framework emerge here to help you understand golf. Your ears should perk up when you see these terms discussed in detail: 5SK, LSW. Nobody here will put a hard sell on, but I've been here a couple years and can vouch that I've learned more in the past 2 years about golf than I had ever expected- mostly via those 2 acronyms. But the best part is you don't need to be an acolyte of just those ideas or that framework. Just join in the discussions when you've got something to say or ask. For the most part, it's friendly waters.

    • Cool.. the pre-shot expectation still applies. Just saying..
    • Meh I don’t care anymore. I’ll have a new hybrid soon. One that is younger, with technology not from almost a decade ago, and isn’t full of baggage from hitting bad shots.
    • The '2H" wrote back -  "Well, if you had an worthwhile pre-shot routine..."
    • I have that club and absolutely love it!
    • Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°.
