Hello everyone. My name is Glenn. I am 46 years old and I live in Saraland, Alabama which is just north of Mobile, I have been golfing since I was 17, but always trying to teach myself or listening to my friends advice. I actually gave up golf when I was married to my first wife for several years because she didn't like me spending the money to go play. My new wife is much more tolerant of my addiction, err, hobby. I took my first golf lesson last year and I am continuing to work on my swing and enjoying playing more than I ever have before.

I've played the 2 RTJ courses in Mobile and I like them both.

Have you played any of the courses in Gulf Shores? I've played Cotton Field's (I think that's the name...Arnold Palmer course), but I have been wanting to try Peninsula and Kiva Dunes.

I played one of the RTJ courses years ago, I don't remember which one. It was a beautiful course. I generally play the, um, less expensive, courses.

    • 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.
