Hello,

Read a lot on this site and now finally make an account. Golfed a couple years ago. Stopped because got pregnant, etc. Kid is now more independant and I just started my own company. Because of work I start golfing. This winter I focus on technique and the winter competition in The Netherlands. Next season it's all about lowering my handicap. My daily practise is 100 swings (50% blind folded) and i already notice some nice progress. The challenge will be time. Lots of balls to juggle, but is so much fun!

Can you imagine! i have the same thoughts when i look at the baby pictures. It looks such a long time ago. 
Although I am glad that I stayed home the last couple of years (and that it was financially possible), I am also glad with the time that i now can spend on my business and being the role model that i want to be.

But i am lucky. The kid is easy going and sometimes joints business meetings (when possible). So he is now already more aware of that there is more than just school and play dates. Because of hanging out in the office or travelling with me on business trips he is now showing some interest in golf. So In the end i will probably spend still a lot of time with him and golf :-)

    • 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.
