Stumbled across this forum when searching for a golf discussion group to join.     I had been involved with golf discussion groups for over 25 years online, back to the olden days of GEnie.

I've been out of golf for nearly 4 years due to ongoing PT on a torn rotator cuff.    Tear the cuff, PT for about a year, then just when I was ready to get back out to play, I tore it again in  a freak accident.    Then another year and a half of PT.    Come Spring 2014, I found out that my clubs had been stolen.       Maybe, just maybe, I had offended the Golfing Gods in some way and it was not meant to be.     I think my wife got tired of my moping around the house, eternally searching for those missing golf clubs, constantly looking in every nook and cranny, trying to figure out where I last saw them.    She eventually told me to get my butt out there and buy new clubs.      Now back to the game I enjoy so much, hitting the driving range, league play, slowly rounding into shape.

I was a 10 handicap 5 years ago, but now back up to the 20's.    Looking forward to the tips and discussions, and I am a big fan of Jordan Spieth.

Hope we hear from you on a regular basis.

This Spring I had a chance to play several courses in the Fort Wayne area (Noble Hawk, Glendarin Hills and Cobblestone).  Also played Champions Club near Indy last Autumn.  You have some nice courses in Hoosierland.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • Keep us up to date with your findings, please.  I'm not looking for a putter, but I'm sure you're not alone in your venture to get the putts rolling better.
