Newish golfer here in Hawaii

[Steelcurtain]

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.

The game is addictive! I was like you last year trying to get out here and there. Now I try for 2-3 times a week.
