Feel bad for the guys out of work. Unfortunately, we don't have much other than a Dick's in my area. They have a fairly large golf section and the Pro was a nice guy who knew his stuff.

Awesome! Appreciate the speedy delivery Iacas.

Played my three worst rounds in quite some time last week in Myrtle Beach. Couldn't help thinking about this book today when I was in the car, decided it's time to take a new approach. Happy to say I finally ordered my copy tonight. Really excited to get it and start reading!

Golf is always viewed as expensive. Of course it can be, but in my area it can also be cheap. A beginner doesn't need a $400 driver, or a full set of new fitted irons. The courses around me have racks full of used clubs. My first set was largely built from those used club racks. While I don't by off the used racks anymore my bag is filled with discount clubs from a number of online stores. With apps like Golf Now and Last Minute Tee Times you can find plenty of cheap courses to play. Like I said this game can be a expensive or as cheap as you make it.

I am 25 and this is the first year I will be playing in a league. Like most have said our league starts at 5:15, so getting there in time isn't an issue for me. I think what held me back from playing before was the commitment to play every week or most weeks. I play every weekend and like the freedom of choosing when and were. But this year I am looking forward to getting some play in during the week.

Quote: I think you may be confused. The course I was referring to is a public course, that offers a yearly card for unlimited greens fees.

Lol, if your like me you hit a slice into the trees then hit your crappy ball straight as an arrow into the field.

Definitely my brother in law, he got me into the game 3 years ago and taught me everything I know. Not sure I would have made it through the early struggles without his help.

This is spot on in my opinion. I enjoy golfing, when I'm deciding where to play I'm not thinking about swimming in a pool or playing tennis. I want to play a nice course for a good rate. Liberty Mountain Sky Resort has a yearly card, for $380 you get unlimited greens fees after 2pm (they typically let you on anytime after 12:30). We normally play in the afternoon and that course is in great condition.

This thread reminds me of a very funny story. Three years ago we were playing at Man O'War in Myrtle Beach. I had about a 50 yard shot in that I drained for my first birdie ever. I grab the ball and thought, I'm going to keep this one since that was my first birdie. Two holes later my father in law hit his drive into the water, he walked over to the cart to grab another ball. He then proceeded to hook that one into the water also. When we got back in the cart I realized that second ball in the water was my memento ball. That's the only thing I've ever kept and I didn't have it long lol.

Finally got out to play this weekend. Got 36 holes in and it felt great, woke up today and it's snowing...

1 degree on the drive in to work, 10-14 inches of snow predicted for Thursday-Friday. Spent 2 hours hitting into the net in my garage last night and realized I'm slowing loosing my mind and cabin fever is setting in.

50 degrees yesterday in South Central PA. Got a good range session in and it felt so good. Now there is 6 inches of snow on the ground today. I thought hitting some balls would help calm the urge to play, silly me it only made it worse.

My brother in law and I typically play 1-2 time a week, sometimes joined by 2-4 other buddies. I've never played alone, but after reading it seems to be more common than I thought.

This is the fear I have every time I hit into the net in my spare room. I'm sure someday I will be patching a hole in my wall.

Kelzzy 2.0?

Ahhh golf before the wife

I would highly advise going to Kelzzy's profile and reading through his post. There is a reason the adults on here are treating him the way they are.

Good read TJ. I like the idea of keeping a log like this. I did some similar on Saturday and went to the range yesterday to work on the mistakes of my round. Now I feel like I corrected a lot of the issues I was having. Also this helps put confidence back in the clubs and shots that I lost during the round. I'm excited to test it out on the course.

Nothing drives me crazy like someone slamming a club on the green. That would have set me off too.

Done! Can't wait to check it out.

I live in Hanover PA. It's a pretty small town between Gettysburg and York. We are about 15 minutes from the Maryland PA line. A lot of nice courses to choose from with an hour from me.

You picked a good time to come back! The weather has completly changed within the last week.
