Hi, coming back to this game after a long layoff. I've had a love/hate relationship with this game since I was five. My grandfather used to say, "Silliest damn game in the world, chasing a little white ball around a pasture. But I love it." Silly as it is may be, I take it a bit too seriously so when I decided to play again I asked my wife for permission to get "obsessive about golf again." She lives with the consequences of having said yes. 

After spending the fall making little progress, wife & son gave chipped in to buy package of lessons for me. First lesson helped a great deal...especially after many buckets of balls.  Currently playing TM Speedblade HL irons, and Jetspeed driver and fairway woods. Since I am bit of a gearhead, I have a 3H and 4H that I am experimenting with. Distance is not a problem for me, just consistency and good contact. That's improving though and I find the differences in distance between the 4 and 4H to be kind of crazy. The hybrid is much longer for me.

I have ordered my copy of LSW, just waiting for it to arrive.

Question: How many posts do I have to make before jumping into the middle of a topic without having read any of the preceding material and making a long-winded argument based only on my personal reaction to the subject line?

It seems there is a lot of this. 

I have to say, some of you are very, very patient with your responses. I have been reading page after page of some these topics and am quite impressed.

We just ask that you have some idea what is being said and has been said, and not just react to the subject, which may or may not even accurately represent the topic at hand.
