I grew up loving golf and playing every chance I could get. One of my playing partners when I was young just turned pro. My grandfather funded building two courses that make "the lists," but he never picked a club up in his life. I lettered in college and had my handicap down to 6.3. Then I just quit, other than scrambles and charity this and that, for several years. I pretty much walked away from the game. In fact, I didn't even touch my clubs for almost three years.

My daughter turned five this spring, and I decided to accept an invitation to join a private club. It has a swimming pool during the summer and a great juniors program. So, I'm just starting to play again. I've been trying to play three times a week, but various USGA events have foiled that a few weeks lately.

I'm embarrassed by my GHIN. It's a little over 22. But it's a completely honest 22 by the rules of golf...another nice thing about playing every round with people completely committed to the spirit of the game...you just don't fudge it, ever.

My typical round was yesterday. I had two net double eagles and still shot 101/net 75.

I look forward to reading the forum to see what others are doing.

Welcome aboard. I'm sure you'll get down from 22 in no time.

    • TPC Sawgrass and WHOF courses first week of Feb and then back to Pinehurst in April.    Nice set! Grand Cypress is a favorite in the area.  +10...!
    • Thank you for the replies.  On reflection, I need to go away and work on proprioception. For example, I have never had any idea where the club head is. I go for a lesson, the pro identifies a fault and we fix it. Because I do not feel  the difference between the fixed swing and the old swing, I write down what we worked on. However, without any feel or muscle memory of what constitutes a good swing, it is a lottery whether my next round will be good or bad. I contrast myself with my brother in law; who’s swing is truly ugly. He was a cricketer and has great  proprioception, so he is consistent and straight. I just found Andrew Emery video on golf proprioception. Any views on his teaching? Regards
    • Certain psychedelics help with curbing bad habits, so maybe? 
    • I'm interested. I always enjoy playing in these events, sometimes I've even played well. ... sometimes not so much.  I do have an event I've been playing for more than a decade and a half that happens the first weekend in May in Las Vegas.  BTW - if any of you are interested in joining me in that event let me know, and I'll get you details.  Here's the thread for that event.   
    • Anywhere within reasonable driving distance works for me. Open to assist, too.
