Hey guys I'm Mike and new here and fairly new to the game. I'm 25 and have very little experience. I watched my dad play growing up and learned a little from him but was never interested until recently. Just got married and most of the guys golf and took me along to start playing and had a blast! So I look forward to playing more often and learning. Currently using my dads ancient gear and looking around to try to piece together a more modern used set of clubs (the actual wooden driver is a bit outdated) any tips? 

BTW I'm 25, a Marine Corps veteran and live in Central Florida.

Hello and welcome from another central Floridian. I've been here less than a year, but love it so far.

The Golfsmith stores in Orlando are closing. There might still be some good deals there on clubs.

    • Shot my new low 72 (par 70) today. Had 5 birdies, also a new best, which included a hole out from the bunker on par 3 6th, and another hole out pitch from 15ish yards on the long par 4, 15th.  Got a couple of other good breaks. Except for an OB drive on 14th (and ensuing double bogey), not much went wrong. All in all I might have used up a year's worth of luck in a single day. 
    • Back in the saddle after vacation.  Day 1: played 18. Did not have it, but still battled to an 82. Felt closer to a 90, but that’s fine. 
    • Yes, I have seen this from the older crowd that play the 4,700 yard tees and want to know why they get less strokes from there. Always trying to game the system 🤣
    • Day 300 - 2025-07-27 Good 44-ball segment. GSPro was acting goofy, so I just put it on the Quad. Then I hit a bunch of low spinners. Hit 14° down to 9.8° down, with the average closer to 12.3° or so. Focused mostly on the backswing. Right knee good, hands roll up and out a little before laying off (FAR).
    • Day 1 - range session. Solidifying grip, taking club back & up.   I continue to be amazed by how much my ball contact (low point control) & accuracy improves as my tempo slows/steadies
