Ok well I have an urge to talk golf with more people. I was a 5-6 day a week player back in high school. I would shoot around par in 9 hole matches 36-38 typically. Lost touch with the game through college until recently. 2016 I got the urge again. This season I upgraded my irons and have been addicted to the game again. I am carrying a 5.2 handicap at the moment. I still play an old Nike SQ driver. Have Ping G, the 2016 model irons, ping glide 2.0 56 and have a pair of ping putters. An anser 3 and a Cra-z. Live about 40 min east of Pittsburgh. That is my background and info. Look forward to meeting good people and discussing the game I love. Totally pumped that I’m going to play in the club championship end of September. Haven’t played individual, competitive golf since I was a senior in high school. Win or lose I can not wait!!!

My membership covers 3 courses. The home course is the furthest from home. I haven’t been playing it much. Shot 78 back in June. Went back Friday and blew up. Shot 90. 84 today with 44/40. So I closed much better. 16 putts on the back and no doubles. Hit 4/9 greens. Got a little momentum as I was pounding the driver. I gotta focus on this course now until end of September. I don’t know who all the good players are but the guy at the pro shop says if I can go out and shoot mid 70 I will at least make the championship flight. It’s 18 holes on Saturday then the top 8-10 play the championship flight Sunday. I just want to make the flight and see what I can do!

I do too.  That's why I'm glad you signed up.  More people to talk golf with :-) 

Also you're in the greater Pittsburgh area, which I understand is a hotbed of state-of-the-art golf instruction.  You'll meet a lot of local friends here in addition to people from around the world to chat golf with.

Thanks buddy! Looking forward to meeting folks and talking shop..... sharing stories both good and bad. Day off tomorrow and planning to tee off around 7-7:30 am grab lunch and do another 9 or so. Putting in work as long as my swing allows. I’ll skip the second round if my swing isn’t feeling right and do some range work if needed.

Wow played the back +1 through 5 today. Then closed with 3 bogeys and a double to top it off. 81 for the day, easily could have been a 77-78

      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.
