My name is Jason and I'm from Tulsa.  I've played a little over a handful of rounds over the past few years and have decided that it's time to actually learn how to play.  I'm a bogey and a half "golfer" right now and hope to eventually break 90.  I took my first lesson a couple of days ago and didn't realize how ugly my swing looked, no wonder I had the slice from hell!  Anyway, look forward to contributing, updating and getting to know everyone.

Welcome, Jason

Glad you joined up, and thisbis a great place to grow as a golfer. 

Good first stop is the Instructional Content under the Info menu above. For bogey golfers, I think a great place to start is simply with the grip and the posture fundamentals.  Those are things I had wrong for years (grip weak, weight way back on heels).  Gotta start with something that'll give you a chance!

After a while, consider a member swing thread. That's where I've seen many start to really put things together. I'm on a bit of a hiatus as my neck recovers, but I know I've learned a ton about the golf swing after putting in the work on my swing thread. Hoping I can get back to it soon. 

Welcome again!

Welcome to the asylum. The doctors can be gruff, at times, but they mean well.  The important thing to remember is...hold on a minute...it's time for my medication.  See ya round.

Thanks for warm welcome and the link to the instructional info.  I'm going to get a swing video up soon from my first less on to keep track of mechanics/improvements.  Went out and played in a scramble this past Saturday.  Shots are still inconsistent, but I'm starting to make better contact.  I guess like anything practice will make perfect...just wish it was a sport that I had more natural ability in!

Natural ability is something we all have.  When I first began playing I found I had more natural ability than most people who had never played the game.  That is still true today.

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
