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 349 - All this focus on pitching, I decided to work more on chipping today. Given the ground conditions, I'll be chipping more than usual.

      Is This Legal - Marking Ball with Toe of Putter?

      By DaveP043 ·

      I agree.  I once played an inter club match, before the change,  and one of our opponents used a small flat seashell for a marker.  At some point, my partner picks up that shell, thinking it was just a small piece of debris.  An argument ensued, and to be honest I don't remember the result.  But requiring an artificial marker eliminates that kind of misunderstanding.

      By iacas ·

      I think it's just to provide clarity. If you marked your ball with a pebble or a small twig, that's a loose impediment, and someone else could move it. An "obstruction" or a man-made thing, or an artificial thing, isn't a loose impediment.

      Day 243 (2 Jan 25) - Grandson directed drills today - he wanted to hit easy pitches into the holes of the Martin bird house (had it at ground level) - it is doable but it calls for a perfectly executed shot.  He came close a couple of times.  For me it’s about distance control and such.  Drill two - me hit same foam balls to him while he’s in the swing saucer - into a slight wind…now it’s distance control plus anticipating the wind.  A fun exercise - got really close on a number of shots.  Drill three - take his youth Cobra SW and hit flops into to the foam ball basket while he was holding it. Great eye-hand work for him - wedge control for me.  That little wedge  works well.  By the end my junior coach was done and I was too….
