Hi, My name is Sean, and I'm a golf-a-holic.

Hello Everyone,

I have been playing golf intermittently throughout my life. Last month, I played a round at a low cost muni course and have been obsessed with golf ever since. I ditched my 30-year old clubs and bought a set of Cobra Baffler XL GI irons, Callaway XR16 driver and 3W, and three Callaway X hot hybrids, and a new putter. I set up a hitting station in my garage where I hit foam balls into a shipping blanket off piece of cardboard (to keep the golf club from destroying the burber carpet I have in the garage). I have been watching just about every instructional video I can find on YouTube, and I plan on taking a course of lessons at the local golf course. The package includes six 1-hour lessons and 9-holes with the instructor for $250.

I have improved dramatically in the last month and can't wait to see where I end up with this new endeavor.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll have to figure out how to video myself taking a swing.

Welcome Sean to the other PGA. "PERSONAL GOLFAHOLIC ANONYMOUS". There is no cure, and your "endeavor" is an endless journey if done correctly.

Welcome Sean.  As you will discover; there is no known cure for golf.  On the plus side...it would be quite disheartening if there were.
