  2. Any advice is appreciated
  3. Update: I cannot find the edit button for the life of me. I appreciate any advice. My drives for the most part are hitting fairways. Around the back 9 I start missing more fairways. I'm guessing this is due to fatigue. My miss is right. Usually, not severe. * after comparing it to the old swing it looks like the above drill may be still what i need?
  4. I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year My current handicap index or average score is: 25 My typical ball flight is: Slice with driver, irons not near as bad The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: slice. Trying to hit more at target Videos: more to come I'm a starter. Usually hit my irons fairly well. Driver is a different story.
  5. I'm currently in the market to buy some new irons. These are going to replace the current hand-me-downs I have in the bag. I like the look of the VRS X irons but cannot find any reviews on them but I have heard great things about the RBZ irons. I'm open to suggestions but I'm not going to spend more than $300 on a (preferably new) iron set. I'm around the area of a 20 - 23 handicapper if that helps at all. Here are some links to them if you need more information. http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=22747636 (Nike) http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=18032436 (TM)
  6. Yes, it's an athletic scholarship. You are there to play a sport representing that school. Now maybe they shouldn't lose the scholarship, but at least for the time they are unable to play the sport.
  7. Sounds like you're about as educated as a high school McDonald's worker. You're seriously looking for an easy field? Grow a pair. Man up. Go to school. Do something productive. You sound like a failed trust fund kid.

  10. Picked up some Wilson Titanium balls (18 for $10) worth a shot.
  11. As a beginner the only thing you mention that I do is the 8 strokes. I do similar and just take a double par. But after a month of playing that doesn't happen near as often maybe once every 2 rounds.
  12. I just got my driver the Callaway FT-iz recently and it's a great driver. It's fairly new came out in 2010 and you can find it on ebay used anywhere from 40-100. If you want to shop the market just for some newer drivers try using Google to look up what came out around 2010-2012 you'll be surprised how much they're going for.
  13. Welcome!
  14. Go to the range whenever. You don't have to have lessons to hack at some balls. The lessons will only help you. Take them when you want. Go on the course whenever you feel comfortable. If you're not too confident try finding a lower rated course and give it a try. You'll get bored only hitting the range time after time.
  15. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MacGregor-Jack-Nicklaus-Geo-Low-600-Napa-Putter-/230904841738 looks like it's going for $70
  16. I can make it through a couple of rounds on one ball but I also can loose multiple to the forest on any given day.
  17. Played in a 4 man best ball outing yesterday and got 5th place. 43 on the front 35 on the back. Just could not get anything going on the front nine. Pared hole 1 but it was all down hill from there.
  18. I've used golf now once. When I took it to the clubhouse for the course I usually go to you'd think the document came straight off of a space ship. They had no idea they were on golf now. Thankfully they let me and my friends play after some negotiating. They are no longer on golf now.
  19. If you like the athletic shoe look I would check out Nike's. I have a pair I only paid 45 for them and they look great and are comfortable.
  20. European tour has several ads that are really cool. This is one of the better ones. I wonder why PGA in the states don't do anything interesting like this.
  21. My group usually does breakfast ball but if it's all decent tee shots then we play it. (Which is rare)
