  1. Thanks for the info! Im glad to know there is someone else with the same focus!
  2. Sorry I didnt necessarily mean the PGA tour I just meant that I would like to do something with golf. Maybe become a teacher or something like that I would just like to focus on improving. I dont mean that I want to go pro because obviously im not in the position too now.
  3. Hi. I used to play golf when I was younger but dropped the sport around the age of 9. Man do I wish I stayed. Anyways, I usually shoot around mid 40s but can range anywhere from high 50s to high 30s. I want to pursue a career in golf and trust me, I know im behind most of the kids my age that have been playing for much longer but everyone says I have great potential. I was wondering what you think the best way to drop strokes is? I guess the first step to pursuing a career in golf is playing college gold and since I started only about 4 months ago, when I was shooting high 50s low 60s consistently and now shooting mid to low 40s. Unfortunately I am a senior in high school and there is only 1 month of golf season left so its not like any golf scouts are going to be checking me out. The only way I could be checked out is if I make it passed the district tourney and maybe to regionals or even states but im not sure how im going to do that with just a months time. I am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve my goal of college golf. I have time, even though I go to school from 7:30-2:45 I have mostly all the time after that until about 8 when the sun goes down. I was wondering if you think I should get a swing coach that I work with everyday or a mental coach or something. I live in the Daytona Beach, FL area. About 1hr east of Orlando so its not to say im not near many resources. Also, do you think I should get fitted clubs and so on. Thank you so much for the support.
  4. Hey guys. So tomorrow I'm going to camp for 2 weeks and will be away from golf. But after those two weeks I will be doing another 2 weeks of golf camp. Last month I went on vacation for a week and a half. I usually play golf everyday. When I came back I was shooting the worst scores I had in a while. The camp I'm going to has a small workout facility and I know I need to work on my balance but how else can I stay fresh and not lose my game when not picking up a club for two weeks?
  5. Hey guys! Today I was out playing with a buddy and I was out driving and basically outplaying him until I got near the green. I would usually be some number of strokes ahead of him until I got within 20 yards. The only wedge I have is a 50degree and a pitching wedge and I would always seem to land it past the green or in the front of the green and it would roll off. So thats my first question. Obviously I need a shorter wedge and I plan on getting one but we are going out tomorrow and I was wondering if you guys had any tips on using longer wedges to your advantage on the green. My putting is also really struggling. I would be 10 yards away and I would 3 putt some holes. Any immediate tips to help would be great. Also what degree wedge do you think I should get? 58? 60? Thanks for any tips possible!
  6. I will try these out today! Thanks.
  7. I will definitely consider that! Thank you.
  8. They're amazing! I was hitting them well in-store but found my self slicing them on the course a few days ago. Since then I have switched to the interlocking grip (which I have been planning to do) and am playing great so far, though I'm not getting quite as much distance I would like, but hey, there is always work to be done. While I'm at it which way Do you all prefer to clean your irons?
  9. Thank you. I will definitely check out the wedges they have and all of their putters. Thanks again.
  10. Thanks so much! I will look at wedges. Any specific brands? Like Cleveland? Also what do you recommend from their putter line? I'm sure I won't have a tough time picking out woods.
  11. Hi! So recently I purchased the Taylormade RBZ irons and the R1 driver all for a great price! As of now I only have technically 9 clubs in my bag 8-irons and a driver. I also have just borrowed a putter from my friend but intend to return it soon. So far I have gone Taylormade and really couldn't be happier. But the reason I'm posting this is because I'm not sure what clubs and brands I should get next. I wouldn't mind sticking with Taylormade if I can find good deals but we will see. What I was thinking so far is a 3-wood, 5-wood and maybe a four hybrid. What do you think? I also need a putter but have no clue what I want. I know you're supposed to have 14 clubs in your bag and all of those would make 13. The wedges the set came with is a pitching wedge and a 50 degree AW. Should I get another wedge? If so what kind do you recommend? I may be going tomorrow so any info ASAP is amazing! Thanks!
  12. I think I might of had a slipped disc because I just went out and hit around the holes behind my house and I'm feeling much better! Thanks.
  13. No. Everything was great. I got the RBZ 4-9 PW AW
  14. Hi! Recently I've hurt my left mid-back and it seems to be affecting my game. I've looked up stretches and they work for a little while but the pain just comes back. I have a tournament tomorrow and I want to get the best out of my game. I was just wondering what your favorite on and off-course stretches are. I will try any and everything!! Thanks!!
  15. So I just typed a post and lost it all. So lets get to it. I'm getting a new set of irons very soon and I don't know which ones to get. I've looked at the Callaway X-Hots and the Taylormade 2.0s. I'm going to Dicks sporting goods tomorrow to get them but they also have a simulator to try out. Basically I need to find a good 4-9 PW or 3-9 PW for a beginner/intermediate player, ( I'm 16 I don't know my handicap) for around 400-700 dollars. I will try them out tomorrow and get my favorite. Thanks.
