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

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

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      At Sheep’s Ranch, Bandon Dunes. Shot an 84. That wind was nasty going from like hole 7 forward. It was like a 3-4 club wind if in the face. Greens are tricky with the natural grass.

      Yes. The full swing is not that different, and speed is important with all of them. You don't see Tour players hitting their driver 310 and then hitting their 7I 160. Of course, but they're nothing like those for the full swing.

      How about with the high numbered irons such as the 9 iron? Is the swing the same with that? If that's the case then I stand corrected.  OK, although there is physics involved in the putt too.

      I have a master's in Spanish linguistics and I like black holes.

      I didn't say it was unfeasible. That's not what you said. And… be careful there. Not around the club's COM, man.
