I'm a 27 year old golfer, who played as a kid and then didn't pick up a club for a decade, and I am now horrific and a 30 handicap. Struggling with the mental game as much as anything else and looking to not be awful anymore.

Welcome to our little corner of the internet.  There's lots of good information here, including some excellent instruction.  You might want to post a video of your swing in the My Swing section and see what kind of advice you get.  One thing I've found is that by improving my swing, somehow my mental game seems better too.

Welcome to the site! +1 on what @DaveP043 said. Controlling your emotions, making better decisions, etc. (Mental Game) is important, but you are not going to see consistently better scores by controlling your thoughts.

Thanks for the welcomes all!

I have to believe I'll see some improvement since one bad mistake results in massive blow-ups. I can really cruise along for quite a few holes but one really horrific mistake can quickly spiral out of control over multiple holes for me.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 9, May 13.  After work, I went to my practice room for a dozen balls (two sessions of a half dozen each).  I may do more later, but I wanted to make sure I posted here too.  Same priority as yesterday, with the arms lifting.

      Too Old ?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Hi @RetiredOldMan!  I am glad to see you are still playing and having good scores.  I hope that when I am 79, I am not only able to play, but still able to produce as good scores as you have been doing.   I look forward to hearing more of your success and your opinion of the senior flex shafts.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)
