Hey guys and gals! My name is Brandon and I'm from a suburb of the Twin Cities in Minnesota. I am 20 years old (soon to be 21) and attend college where I play baseball! This summer I have really gotten in to playing golf and I am in love! I realize I am not playing baseball at the next level so figured I could get a headstart on golf. Lately, I have been watching and reading golf nonstop, trying to find every bit of knowledge I can to improve my game. I am in the midst of finding my handicap (only have to record 2 more scores) but I would guess it would be around 20. With that said, I am looking forward to diving into this site and getting better as a golfer as well as hopefully helping others with their game!

This is a great place to learn about golf. I recommend the Swing Thoughts and Members Swings sections. You can post a video of your swing in and more experienced golfers and great instructors will help steer you into improving.  The Swing Thought section contains posts from our resident experts on many subject, but mostly they are an aid to help us all improve. Below is a link to more helpful threads.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
