Excellent point, I'll have to check into that.

Thank you for the tip, I will definitely give this a try!

I'm just getting to the point where I can hit the ball straight a lot of the time. However, I seem to have trouble aiming. I almost always go left of my target (which is a good change because I used to always slice). Perhaps I'm still trying to mentally compensate for a slice? At any rate, I just can't tell where I'm aiming - someone said to lay a club in front of your feet and it will point to your target. Is that good advice? I've always thought the club face should point toward the target, but if I use the aforementioned method, it doesn't. Any tips?

Prime golf weather is just around the corner, so you might consider clubs. However, I do love my TV - 56" Samsung DLP. Over the air HD is phenomenal! Don't have cable or satellite but my blu-ray player streams netflix. (Something else you might want to look into)

11 tonight with a high of 28 tomorrow, don't think there will be any golf soon

??? After reading 5 Lessons I am certain his "secret" was practice. Lots and lots of practice.

I highly recommend Sony MDR-V6. You'll see them in use in studios a lot. Comfortable and sound great for under $100.

Just got done reading it myself. Fantastic descriptions. I wish it had more drills though. I know you are supposed to practice each "lesson" but there is a ton of stuff in each.

Happens a lot. I tend to think a shot has gone farther than it really did, with my shots and others as well.

$30-70. I bought a couple PGA Tour shirts at JC Penney's last summer and love how they stay cool and dry. They are 100% polyester. The only thing I don't like is how easily they snag. I don't care about brand...is there a cheap shirt similar to this or the Under Armor shirts?

Glad to hear all of the good comments about Shawn. I have been watching his videos for a while now. Great teacher.

Being invited to play with my good friend last year and hitting some good shots...the good ones just keep you coming back for more don't they? Like a moth to a flame.... One common theme I see in this thread is fathers...if you are lucky enough to still have yours around, play some golf with him. Never got that chance and it hurts.

I love having the time to talk and have a good time. Constantly rushing to get to the next box is annoying and distracting.

I'm a swinger. If I concentrate on hitting the ball, bad things happen. Swing through the ball and throw momentum towards the target is how I think about it. Of course I'm new to the game...

I'm certainly no expert, but I still think you're bending at the waist too much. Your head is nearly over the ball. This video helped me: http://video.about.com/golf/Correct-Golf-Posture.htm

Just bought some Footjoy contour series, and they are very comfortable. Felt broke in, right out of the box. Paid $95

Definitely interested! Sounds like a great idea. Any idea where I can get one?

Sometimes it's nice to live in rural Arkansas...my club membership is $100/month. Course I had to buy a used golf cart and shed space ($1000 after going 50/50 with a friend) but I can play golf whenever I want. Bring your own balls on the driving range too, which is annoying at times.

Bump. I'm interested in a garage net as well.

Are the mats really that much harder on clubs than grass?

Wallet, phone, pocket knife, keys, etc go into the cart. However, I think I'll start putting them in my bag so I won't forget them... I have had to go back to the club later for a missing item that would have made it home if it were in my bag. I generally take off my wedding ring before heading to the course.

1. 5 iron from fairway 2. 10 rounds at a muni. 3. 30 footer. 4. Firm putter, soft ball. 5. Not sure yet 6. Steady Salary 7. 4 hour round with others 8. Ride. 9. Heat.

Awesome responses, thanks everyone.
