Hello everyone! Been lurking for awhile, thought I'd get involved in some conversations now.

I started the game about 8 months ago, instantly fell in love. I mainly play with my dad and brothers, it has been a great bonding experience for all of us. I grew up riding dirt bikes and motorcycles but now that I am in my 30's it has been nice to find a hobby that I don't have to worry about breaking a bone if I decide to push things :) I have a young son and I look forward to getting him into the game so we can have a mutual hobby for the next several decades. 

Fortunately the weather here in the south has been mild over the last few months and I am in law enforcement so that means a lot of golf during the week instead of having to battle it out for a weekend tee time. 

I look forward to sharing in some conversations about my new favorite game and learning from the experienced folks!

Welcome from Michigan.   Glad you found our site.  

Post often, Read the "How To" section and if you are so inclined, post a swing video.   The people here are mostly friendly, the admins keep everyone in check and there is a lot of great instructional information.   

I think it's great you have plans to include your son.   

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

Welcome. I also started playing around the end of last season. It truly is an addicting hobby. So far my favorite local course in North Ga is Callahan golf links. I'm not sure where in Ga you are but if you're around Northwest Ga we should get together and play a round. I've yet to break 100 so you have nothing to worry about lol. Top score so far was 104 at the Elk's lodge in Calhoun. Good luck and enjoy!

Thanks everyone!

I play at Callahan pretty regularly, it's my favorite course so far. Fairways of Canton is also a good course, it's not even 5 minutes away from Callahan. I live in Canton so both are pretty close.

Look into joining ClubCorp. They have a lot of good courses within 20 min of you. Polo, White Columns, The Manor....

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By Ty_Webb ·

      At a basic level, you can take those strokes gained numbers and if you know what the baseline strokes to hole out is from each distance, you can figure out how many strokes on average you will take to hole out from any given spot on the golf course. Then you can take that shot zone thing from shotscope and put it down there and see what the average is for each club and each target you choose. That's not exactly trivial to do though even with a computer, so the strategy guides (like LSW) use rules of thumb to make those decisions easier for you to make on the fly. Most of the time you'll come up with the optimal strategy and on the odd occasion when you don't, the strategy you come up with will be pretty darn close to optimal. If you're anything like me, then you'll probably wind up being a little too conservative with both club choice and target. Fear of penalty strokes can make you play suboptimally. Basically it's a bad idea to base your strategy on a shot that might pop up less than 1 in 20 times. If you happen to hit that shot, then today just isn't your day, but the 19 times you don't, you'll be in that much better of a spot.

      That sounds like a small sample size issue. What if the PGA tour event he was trying to get into just happened to fit his game perfectly? Also, he could just be playing hot right now. I’ll put this in the wait-and-see category.

      This Putting Product Actually Seems Like it May Have Some Value.

      I've used a construction laser for years. Far less expensive than the PuttAim laser.

      True, but as 15 year olds go, he has a much better chance of getting there than any of the rest of them. Kid can flat out play. He almost Monday'd into a PGA tour event a few weeks ago too. Missed in a playoff.

      I'd bet against him having much success as a pro, because of, you know… the odds. You don't want to be the best 15-year-old in the game. You want to be the best 25-year-old in the game.
