Good afternoon folks.

Only found the forum this morning and it looks to be the most active golf forum I can find.

A bit about myself, Having played golf when I was a youth I stupidly moved away from the sport 18 years ago. Since then I have only played once or twice a year. This year I am joining my first club in years and cannot wait to get back into competitive golf.

 

At one time playing off single figures I am now struggling badly for any form so you may find a my swing video up sooner rather than later.

 

I look forward to getting chatting and re-learning the game that I should never have given up.

Welcome. Looks like you are in quite a spot for golf as well.

I'm sure you find some useful advice as you work to regain form.

Welcome to the forum blue

Like you I gave up golf only to start back up years later. Interestingly, I'm not good but I'm playing better now at an older age than I ever did when I was younger.

I am indeed, All down the west coast here in ayrshire there are some fantastic courses and I always feel blessed to have played most of them. I recently played round the kintyre course at Turnberry for the first time it was a real gem. Sadly the 70mph winds did nothing to help scoring leading to a morale sapping 120 score but a great track none the less.

I spent my youth years playing in troon on the public owned courses. A student of the links!

And to think I was crying the other week over 40 mph gusts knocking my ball down here in Ohio.

I'll get over there one of these days when I rich and better at golf.

I have never experienced wind quite as brutal. Carts racing all over the place, I carry so the bag acting as a sail and blowing me backwards. Still, enjoyable all the same?

      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

      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.
