Hi from Albany NY

Well a newbie here, just turned 60 yesterday and played only my second round of golf ever. Was doing well until the last hole. (9th) Was able to better my first round and hopefully on my way. It's a par 3 and 4 course and with the exception of the 9th was able to do 4's 5' and 6's on the first 8. But the best thing, it was so much fun.

Anywho glad to be here and pick up tips form folks who know what their doing.    Joe

Cobra Max Irons......Cobra F7 Hybrid..... 

A cheap Wedge and Driver I picked up online....

A bunch of Balls.... and a bag for it all.

Howdy Joe and welcome to TST.  I remember my first few rounds and I don't think I did as well as you did on yours.  Wishing you the best for improvement;  we hope to help.

Hola to to you happy belated birthday and sounds like your game was great. I'm newish also but your scores spank my first few.  So welcome to the sand trap. You'll find lots of helpful info and advice. Hope you'll post a swing video and add your fave course to the member map.   I've gotten some good tips and nice to talk about that awesome round or whine about about the not so hot ones ( like mine today) but we keep playing and getting better. I can tell you today's round my best hole was the 19th. I aced the after play bud lite.  So welcome glad to have you on board.

Thanks gents. I left out my 9th hole score,,,,,, err, it was an 11. It was a par 4 and for some reason I just couldn't connect. 2 in the water and trouble getting out of the rough. I told myself it was a hot day and I was wearing down but, there just excuses.  Oh well, I was still happy with my round and the great dinner in the club afterwards.

Again, very glad to be here and look forward to all the great threads and posts.  Joe

Welcome!

Jump right in. Here's a fun thread:

You might enjoy sharing your rounds there and cheering others along to break 100. 

Then if you advance,  there's a thread for bogey golfers (shooting 90 or so) to commiserate with each other. 

Read through a bit of those and you'll get a sense of it and likely fit right in. See you around.

      Welcome back! Evolvr.com? I don't use the full extreme end of it, and that's probably dipped to 75% or so nowadays. But I use the sole more than I don't, yeah. Also… it's good to learn this shot: Middle up. Not generally outside your feet in either direction. I generally have it slightly forward of center, yeah. Short version: tip your upper body in the direction of the slope. Look at the GC3. You can find them for really good prices sometimes.

      Day 3:  I tried to hit a bucket at the range but an 80 year old man (he told me his age, showed me his knee replacement scars, told me all about his chronic low back pain, etc) couldn’t pass up the opportunity to mansplain to me every little thing I’m doing wrong.  Dude, it’s my third frickin day.  I know I need to twist my hips more, I know I need to keep my head/chest down and not pop up, I know I need to hit through the ball and follow through further, yada yada yada.  I know.  That’s exactly what I’m trying to work on.  How about you tell me or show me how to do those things instead of telling me to watch Iron Byron videos?  Rough day.

      Day 132: 5/7/24 Full Speed Spectrum Training session 8/24. 7th training program overall.    Another slow session but 4 mph faster than my last session, which was my slowest ever. Going to the doctor on Friday to check on pulled neck muscle.

      Day 26: Did full swing practice after work. First 15 balls were working on top of the backswing feel, and then tried to incorporate transition feel into the next 15 balls. A's, although this will be my last season of being a fan as they leave for Las Vegas (by way of Sacramento for a few seasons). Hard to see myself rooting for the Giants, but if that's the only MLB in the Bay Area, I guess I might get on board.
