Hey there everyone.

I'm an aspiring golfer who took up the game about a year ago. I've always been interested in golf, but with no one else in my family playing, I wasn't exposed until I could afford to on my own.

I've lurking on the site for almost the same amount of time, and I've made a bunch of progress by using ideas from the Swing Thoughts area. I figured it was time to get a voice on the forum.

My contact is becoming more consistent as the spring this year continues. I'm hoping I'll regularly be in the 90s during the summer, but we'll see. 


Welcome to the site.  I hope you'll find yourself shooting in the 90s (or better) by summer too.

Welcome! I remember posting tepidly at first.  Then one day took the plunge with a My Swing thread. Then did a few outings with people in the area.

Looking back, it has all been a great experience here and has really broadened my knowledge and experience with golf. In fact, one day I might even get good at the silly game.

But anyway, welcome aboard.

Thanks for the welcome, gentleman. It seems like a swing thread might be a good first step. I have the appropriate technology, but I'm still scared of seeing what the swing actually looks like. Discomfort is definitely part of improving though!

    • Day 56 - 2024-11-15 Light day. Lots of catch-up work. Checked the grip to make sure I wasn't compensating there, and did a little backswing work.
    • Day 197 (15 Nov 24) - Played in the Friday men’s group outing - blustery conditions in play (wind gusting 10-20; spotty pop up misting rain; temps in the mid 50’s), so it was a good day to work on course management.  Solid round of 83 (41/42) - 7 GIR, total 32 putts - included 10 pars (3 being up and downs), a dbl and triple bogie.  
    • Have been on a mid to low 80’s roll of late - today was no different with an 83 (41 front / 42 back).   Played in the Friday men’s group outing - blustery conditions in play (wind gusting 10-20; spotty pop up misting rain; temps in the mid 50’s), so it was a good day to work on course management, delivering 7 GIR, total 32 putts - included 10 pars (3 being up and downs), a dbl and triple bogie.  Local course starting to get that winter feel - wet areas wetter, thin grass thinner, greens  trickier.
