Hi there,

Won't bore you to much.

Golf bit me when I was 16 but I never cared about swing mechanics etc until about 2 years ago (30 years old) 6 months into my new found obsession my wife became very ill and we lost our first child. Then 2 months later someone somewhere decided they really didn't like me as I was diagnosed with a tumour in the brain. 

All this took its toll and I found it hard for a while to give anything anytime. Then I picked my clubs up again and I finally feel ready to start making progress. 

So I've come to you guys to tear me to shreds :-P 

I've started having lessons and learnt in a short time that form and feel beats standing at the range smashing ball after ball. I'm a big lad so that needs addressing too as I'm sure it doesn't help.

Thanks for your time.

All the best,

Tom

Welcome!!

I don't think anyone is going to tear you to shreds haha!!

I can assure you, when I first joined this group, I was in the same boat.  The people around here are all students of the game and are here to help each other.

Enjoy your time here!!

    • Just like the 2022, 2021, 2020, 2023, 2024, and 2025 topics, we're doing it again in 2026! Once again, I'd like to birdie every hole at Whispering Woods in 2026 (and maybe every numbered hole on other courses). I'd like you to join me on this quest. This year's spreadsheet is below: 2026 TST Birdie Challenge - Google Sheets   Please click through, add your name, home course, and location, and when you make a score on the holes as you play them, update your line in the spreadsheet with your ringer score, basically. The idea is to score a birdie or better on each hole on the course this year. If you're above a certain handicap and would like to make it a par challenge, go for it! Just add that note to the Notes column. Please leave the formatting as is. And note that you only write down one score - if you birdie a hole three times, you aren't writing down -3. It's just your best individual score for each hole. We can all cheer each other on and see where this takes us! If you truly play a TON of different courses, then follow these two guidelines: If you just play a lot of golf, but still get 20 or 25 (or more) rounds in on one course, consider making that your home course and just doing the birdie challenge there. If you truly play only 20-40 rounds per year, and never more than a handful at the same course, consider trying to birdie holes numbered 1 to 18 across all of your courses. Or even doing it twice. Yeah, some hole #17s will be easier birdies than others, but that's why you might do it twice.
