Hi all, just returning to golf after a 20 year absence. Began playing pretty steadily in 1990, stopped in 1996 for a variety of reasons. A RSI to my right shoulder kept me away for the most part. A few weeks ago in Westin, FL, my wife and I decided to hit a bucket at Bonaventure GC. Shoulder was good, now I have been on the range and par 3 courses. With shoulder still OK, have decided to jump back in. 

I am in the Princeton area, and hope to get on a real course in the next month or so. In the process of upgrading my 25 year old cheap starter clubs, and started with a Callaway XR 16. I'm sure there will be more to follow...

Bonus....Now I'm retired, and can actually practice!

 

Best, Tom

Welcome to the site @Swungover! You'll be pleased to know there are quite a few good courses in your area. The Mercer County Parks system does a really good job for it's residents. The Mercer Oaks East and West Courses as well as Mountain View are some challenging tracks. Just don't push that shoulder too hard.

Thanks, I used to have a regular time at Mercer Oaks. Bunker Hill is my home course.

      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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      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.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      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.
