Hey guys, just signed up having read the forum for a while.

Been playing for a few years now with friends, nothing too serious but started playing more over the past year and just took my first membership out so looking to get playing regularly, get a handicap and get into some competitions.

 


Great to have you on board and a good day to join with the Masters! It's a great place and you'll get a lot out of it, particularly if you go for a 'my swing' thread. Enjoy!

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

Got the Masters on the TV this evening so figured I'd immerse myself in some more golf talk! Playing with a group of 3 tomorrow to get my first card in towards my handicap, always get strangely nervous playing with new guys.

Relax, the first cards in are brilliant. Just remember that they'll shave anything more than a double bogey down to a double (i.e. if you score 8 on a par 4, that becomes a 6 for the purposes of a handicap) and that what you're really trying to do is get a benchmark for where you are. Completely get the nerves - for me, the main thing with new playing partners is this: don't be afraid to take your time over a shot or back off if you don't feel right - don't just feel you have to hit it because you addressed it. Hopefully they're decent guys and you can have a good chat down the first to relax. Above all, it's a game we play for fun :-). Let us know how it goes,

Ended up playing with a different group to the one I was meant to as they ended up having a 4 ball but joined 2 other guys on the next tee time. 

 

Shot 104 which I'm really  not happy with but it was a few bad holes that really blew me up including 2 out of bounds on one hole..  :( was actually happy with a lot of my stroking today

    • Day 305 - Grip and backswing work. Full swings were bothering the hip a bit. 
    • Day 56 - 2024-11-15 Light day. Lots of catch-up work. Checked the grip to make sure I wasn't compensating there, and did a little backswing work.
    • Day 197 (15 Nov 24) - Played in the Friday men’s group outing - blustery conditions in play (wind gusting 10-20; spotty pop up misting rain; temps in the mid 50’s), so it was a good day to work on course management.  Solid round of 83 (41/42) - 7 GIR, total 32 putts - included 10 pars (3 being up and downs), a dbl and triple bogie.  
    • Have been on a mid to low 80’s roll of late - today was no different with an 83 (41 front / 42 back).   Played in the Friday men’s group outing - blustery conditions in play (wind gusting 10-20; spotty pop up misting rain; temps in the mid 50’s), so it was a good day to work on course management, delivering 7 GIR, total 32 putts - included 10 pars (3 being up and downs), a dbl and triple bogie.  Local course starting to get that winter feel - wet areas wetter, thin grass thinner, greens  trickier.
