Greetings!

I've been playing golf sporadically for as long as I can remember, usually 1-2 rounds a year with my dad and grandfather growing up, and a bit more depending on where I lived since I've grown up (played probably 4-6 times a year when I was stationed in Hawaii). Lately it's been about once a year for my wife's family reunion, but we just bought a house that's as close to being on a course as you can get without actually being on the course, and I plan to start playing more. 

I really enjoy being a part of online communities so I signed up here.

I have a question about upgrading clubs: I've been using the same boxed-set of clubs I picked up at the Navy Exchange 10 years ago, I'm to where I can consistently make solid contact but obviously still have lots of work to do on control and distance. Should I be looking to upgrade these to something more legitimate while I improve?

Hello and welcome! Just my opinion, but your biggest improvements will come from taking a swing doctor. They will also be able to give you advice on how your clubs impact your results.

      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.
