My name is Sam and I've been playing golf on & off most of my life but began taking it more serious about 3-4 years ago.  It is a fascinating game that even the best in the world can't beat, which is what I love about it...there is always a challenge and always something to improve on.

I am very happy to be a part of the forum and look forward to learning tips & drills for practice and of course, how to improve my game, especially on the greens.

Welcome.  My brother just moved to north of Austin (Round Rock).  Any recommendations for nice courses in that area?

Welcome, Sammie. 

Lots of good stuff here and enough topics of interest for a wide variety of people here. Take a look at the "how to..." area to get a feel for the basics of the site, and jump right in!

thank you!  There are some good courses around RR.  Has he played Teravista or Forest Creek?  There's also Star Ranch, Avery Ranch and Blackhawk.  Twin Creeks is close to RR (off 183-A).  Let me know if he's played those and I'll look up some others.

My brother is not really a golfer but he plans to get into it more now that he has retired.  Plus I will be visiting so we will need some places to play.  Thanks for the list of potential courses.

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.
