Hello all,

I've just started getting into golfing seriously.  I've had some experience here and there over the years.  Going with friends and plinking around the course not taking it very seriously.  My dad was a pretty avid golfer growing up and I remember watching it on TV a lot.  Seeing legends like Niklaus, Palmer... watching Tiger win the masters when I was 9.

Well, I decided to buy a decent set of used clubs and get into it more often.  I'd love to hit the links at least once every 2 weeks.  My bag has everything I need but a putter, lol I'm gonna hold out and find a decent one.

My bag:

Titleist 2 iron

Powerbilt citation irons 4-9

Callaway steelhead driver and woods

4 various wedges (all titlist I believe)

Right now my biggest strength is probably irons.  I can generally hit them pretty straight.  However I have a slight hook on my woods and driver I really wanna correct.  I think I'm hitting them open faced but not sure how to correct it.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
