Hi everyone,

I have (very) casually gone to driving ranges over the past 15 years and only a few times on the course in that time frame (the fact that I don't really know my handicap shows how little I used to golf (my handicap is too high is all I know)). I work in an accounting firm where the majority of people (and most of the guys) golf. I'm getting into golf because this is something that people in business do. I grew up watching pro-golf at my grandfather's house on Sundays so it's not like I'm completely clueless to the game of golf.

I am currently taking private lessons from a CPGA instructor which I am enjoying. My plan is to take simulator lessons through the winter then I will hopefully have more of an understanding when the spring comes, rather than waiting for outdoor lessons in the spring and nothing doing in the winter.

I hope to learn a lot from you guys, if I can.

Welcome.  I grew up just north...in Detroit.  One of the great things about golf is that you don't have to have been born with a club in your hands.  It doesn't take years to get the hang of it.  The game, and the swing, are not that difficult to comprehend.  It does take a while to get your bearings but the basics do not change.  Bon chance.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      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.
