Hello everyone,

Super happy being a member after spending a ton of time on here reading stuff as a guest. I have been playing for a year on a small 4000 yard course. But have played a handfull of rounds on a couple different par 72's while developing fundamentals but I am hoping to maybe grow my game a bit more from advice, since being a university student means no money for lessons. Still, I think I am on a good start over the past year I score on average 100 but am breaking into the 90's more often. Even broke through 90 once, everything seemed to click. My most proud moments were my 1st Birdie and Eagle.

G'day, eh. Fellow Canuck here. You've come to the right place. Participate in golf threads to build up a bit of a rep with everybody and then start a My Swing thread. Tons of great advice on here but you gotta put something in before you start pulling stuff out. Cruise around, join some conversations and make some buddies. 

Stay out of the political threads, those are death. 

Yours in earnest, Jason.
Call me Ernest, or EJ or Ernie.

Welcome eh.    My wife and I were in Niagara Falls a couple of weeks ago and was disappointed to only hear two people say "eh".    Lovely country.   Enjoy the forum.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

Thanks, can you tell me what new things might open up for a newer member as time goes on. Once again thank you for the welcome. 

I'm gonna go along with @Ernest Jones.  Start a my swing thread. 

Also, there is a lot of good factual information here. You should have as much reading as you want for quite awhile.

On behalf of all Canadians thank you. I have never been to the falls. The Eh thing is a bit of a Prarie's thing but we are all proud of it. And poutine!

      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.
