Hello,

My name is Casey Fivecoat and  I live in University Place, Washington.  I have golfed off an on throughout my life, but never took it seriously until 2 years ago.  In 2015 I posted a whopping 20 rounds, establishing my high handicap.  In 2016 I joined the men's club at my local muni and posted 60 rounds (including a couple of golf-weekends) and knocked 3 strokes off my handicap.  I also won low net for my division in one tourney, played a few others.  My two goals for last year were to get to a 15 handicap and break 80.  My handicap is 14.4, (CH 15).  I shot 80 twice in the summer.

I am also trying to get my 8 year old son into golf, I have taken him to the executive course at my course, and enrolled him in golf camp last summer. He seemed to enjoy it.

I am seriously addicted to golf, I was jones-ing last week so I went and played in 32 degree weather on sunday.  I hope to play more than 70 rounds this year.  My other goals are to break 80, get my handicap down to 11, and win 2 men's club tournaments.   Also I "need" to buy a new driver, thinking about M2.

I have browsed this site a little, look forward to talking about golf!  I am very interested in clubs and balls and all other gear.  My setup right now is Taylormade Burner+ Driver 9.5, Taylormade Jetspeed 3W 13.5 3H 19, TAYLORMADE R9 4-PW, AW, SW, Cleveland 60 wedge, Ping Anser II putter.  Project A balls are my preference.

Welcome! Sounds like you've found the right place.

Find yourself a nice little avatar when you get a chance: https://thesandtrap.com/how-to/add-an-avatar/

You can add that list of equipment to a signature:  https://thesandtrap.com/how-to/add-signature/

Basically, take a look around the "How To" drop down above and see how things sorta work around here.

Under the "Info" drop down above, there's a whole bunch of other stuff about the site, and some good links to golf instruction. 

We are similar handicaps I think, so I look forward to hearing about your game. See ya

    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
    • I would guess putting grooves in it might make it non-conforming. I am not sure how stringent the USGA is on restoring golf clubs.
    • If PT doesn't work, then all other options (shots) are just temporary bandages of the pain. You may do more damage. Pain is the bodies way of telling you to STOP. Once you get rid of that, you are just now using an already damaged body part and put more stress and strain on it.
