Hello everyone, my name is Nick. I've been lurking for a while but decided today to actually join. I live in Lincoln Park, Mi. That's a suburb south of Detroit. I have been playing golf all summer. I had played maybe a total of 5 rounds before this year, but this year II have about 30 in so far. I decided to play in a charity work scramble in May and just feel in love with the game. Now I play every Monday at my home course Wyandotte Shores, and usually sneak in one or two other days during theweek, family permitting. Ha-ha I am still stuck on the max handicap of 36.4 and if it went higher I'd be higher. I shot a 110 today and was pretty happy about it. Finally learned to control my driver and irons some after a few lessons. Now I've given up on max yardage in exchange for accuracy. My goal for this year in just double bogey and one or fewer balls lost per round. Getting there. Only lost 4 over 18 today and 3 yesterday. I carry driver, 3 and 5 wood, 4-9iron, PW, GW, SW, 64, putter. Looking to fill the gap between sand and 64 soon and probably give up the 5W. Thanks for listening and anybody that ever wants to play Wyandotte Mondays at 3:45 let me know. Nick

      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.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      Keep us up to date with your findings, please.  I'm not looking for a putter, but I'm sure you're not alone in your venture to get the putts rolling better.
