Albatross Ace

I agree, there is much more to a round than just the scorecard. One day I couldn't stop grossly overswinging on my tee shot and topped 4 of my drives. I hit fantastic 230+ yard approaches with my 4 wood and went up and down for par 3 of those times and shot a 41. Yet I still left the course feeling bad about my game.

This is very true. Even professional golfers choke. http://www.suntimes.com/4853689-417/********er-kevin-na-shoots-a-16-...-on-one-hole-video Thanks for all the advice. I shot a 44 today so it was an improvement but definitely left some strokes on the course (of course who doesn't.) I think the key to consistency is to make bad rounds a bump in the road and not a precursor to a slump.

Sorry I'm clueless and have no idea. Also, how do I become "established" and not just "registered"?

Thanks a bunch for the feedback guys! It was really helpful. I have a match in about 3 hours, I hope I can bounce back and come home with the W. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Thanks again!

On monday I shot a 38 on nine holes and I was feeling fantastic. I couldnt wait to get out there and shoot lights out on tuesday. I went par birdie par and was excited for the next 6 holes. Unfortunely I went OB or in a hazard on the next three holes and hit the final 3 greens in regulation and 3 putted them all. I ended up shooting a 50. I feel like I live and die by my scorecard. I have a hard time trying to isolate my game to just my attitude on the course. Consequently I will walk around on top of the world after a great round and after a bad one, I couldn't be more depressed. How do you deal with a bad day in golf? I could really use some tips. . . = /

A month ago I bought 3 dozen B330-RX on ebay for about 30$. They were recycled by links choice. They were amazing quality, The balls didn't even seem to be repainted and some had minor imperfections which were only visual. No balls were scuffed/unplayable. I don't think I will ever buy balls new again.

This one time my freind asked to borrow my brand new 9.5 Nike Dymo2. It was like a week after I bought it. He takes it up to the tee and he says, "Tee it high and let it fly right?" and I was like," Sure..." So he tees the thing up like 3.5 inches and skies the ball about 150 yds into the air. It lands 50yds out in the fairway and there is a massive ballmark right on the crown of my driver. That was when I stopped letting crappy golfers use my clubs... DONT RISK IT

Hey, don't buy clubs anywhere other than Ebay. Especially if you aren't that good. There is no reason to spend more than 50% of a club's MSRP or to buy a club new. Every single club I have I have bought really cheap off of Ebay. Just make sure the seller has a good rating. HAVE FUN SNIPING BIDS!

Shot a 38 on nine at like a 2800yd course. it was my best nine hole score EVER. If only I didn't play an easy course everyday. I had a very climactic birdie putt on 9 to break my previous record of 39.

If you are completely limited to just those options I would say go with the G10's but what I think you should REALLY do is get on ebay and find a set of G15's. My playing partner has had these clubs for about the past year and he went from a 40 handi to a 15. These things have a pretty chunky clubhead and as a result are more forgiving then jesus christ himself. Take a look at these http://cgi.ebay.com/Ping-G15-Iron-set-Golf-Club-/320699784666?pt=Golf_Clubs&hash;=item4aab325dda After these you will still need a driver/putter/woods/hybrids but this comes with a 56 degree and that will probably be enough for you in the wedge department. As for buying the rest of these all I can say is don't buy anything new or in a pro shop. I have bought literally every golf club I own on ebay and never paid more than half of the clubs MSRP. Theres no reason to pay full price or buy a new club especially if you are a beginner. If you need suggestions for driver/putter/woods/hybrids LMK. just some suggestions Driver - burner superfast (original) got it for 90$ on ebay 2 weeks ago, this things has a red hot face, also take a look at adams speedline putter - i would suggest a ping wack-e, this thing has a massive clubhead making alignment a cinch, and it really "PINGS" when you hit it. Also odyssey white hot 2 ball is great for alignment and the insert helps for pure contact. I would steer away from blade putters, and go more towards mallet putters, alignment is easier and generally mallets are heavier so you don't need such a big stroke. the smaller the stroke, the less chance for error! woods/hybrids - if you want something forgiving and cheap go with a nike sumo/dymo wood/hybrid with the square club head. the dymo has a really hot face and the rounded face at the bottom helps pick balls out of the rough. if not fo with Adams A7 hybrids or A7OS if you want something REALLY forgiving.
