kinda thinking of maybe going to golf smith and look around the used rack to find a cheap set maybe till next year just not sure yet winter is getting close and it is a really busy time of year for me so might just wait till next spring to try and do anything

well came into some money issues and regretfully I had to sell my really nice set of callaways. so I'm goin to have to take a break for a while....hated to have to do it but didnt have a lot of choices. so hopefully next year about spring time ill be able to get back on the course again

was at Dicks Sporting goods today and bought a 15' ball retreiver

the clubs I bought used from a guy that had only played 9 holes with them. they are callaway diablo edge irons the wood is a diablo wood razr hybrid and diablo octane driver I do need to post a video of my swing I know just haven't got it done yet. I know I have some major problems with my swing which is normal for a new player I know but I'm trying to work on it as I go. I do plan on getting some lessons here soon from the local pro at our country club and hopefully cure some of my problems.

a question I was wondering today. when I bought the set of clubs I have I got 4-pw irons driver 3 wood and a 3hybrid also what I was wondering is would there be any huge benifits for me to try and pick up a 5 wood? the hybrid I really don't seem to hit well at all I slice it worse than about any club in the bag so I was thinking that Iight try and pick up a 5 wood but thought I might get some opinions from you all on it. the 3 wood I have I hit pretty decent much better than the hybrid which I think is odd concedering I always heard that the hybrids were supposed to be easier to hit. so what is your alls opinions

biggest goal I have this year with what little season I have starting out is to play some full rounds of 18 so I can start to see where my game needs the most ammount of work. might seem like an odd goal for some but with a family of 5 with 2 of those kids 5 years and younger as well as working nights it makes it really hard to play more than 9 holes at a time

went to lowes today and you all that said check there for the fiberglass driveway marker rods were right I got them for less than $2 each so I got 4 to use for alignment rods and also found a site other than the tour sticks rods website to find drills to use the rods for. this will hopefully help me a lot in a lot of diffrent areas of my game.....at least I hope so

I ought my entire setup minus the sand wedge off of Craigslist for $500 and is a really nice set of callaway clubs and stand bag that only been used for 9 holes. check on Craigslist lots of good deals on there

bag...callaway extra lite 4.0 driver...callaway diablo octane 10.5* woods..callaway big Bertha 3w hybrid...3h callaway razr irons...4-pw callaway diablo edge wedge...54* sw callaway forged putter....odyssey white ice 2 ball

I did just actually do that yesterday. nice young guy so I'm going to look at doing a few lessons with him here very soon

I am going to be in Louisville KY for school for work Monday- Thursday of next week. planning on bringing my clubs as our classes get out at 4pm and thought some of you might be able to suggest a nice course to play? I have heard from a little digging that Seneca is a really nice course. ill probably only be able to get 9 holes in but if I can swing it I'm gonna try and get 18 if I can but I do have another guy comming with me so 9 might be all I can play any of you all have some opinions by chance

my wife and I are thinking of joining our local country club so we have more access to the golf course as well as some of the other benifits they offer like pool and so on. I was in there today and when I asked about the membership the club pro was the one to come out and talk to me. seemed like a really nice guy young guy at that. and I also asked him about lessons and prices on them as I would like to start taking some lessons to improve my game. and there are a few PGA instructors around but they are quite some distance from me. what I was wondering is there some questions that one should ask when searching for an instructor?

I don't have much to offer other than just some advise since I am by no means a great golfer let alone a good one. if your game is what you say it is that's great man I wish I could accomplish that also. but you also have to see where the rest of these guys are comming from here as far as you "boasting". when you come to a forum like this to try and learn and see if you can improve your game some of your message was really off such as how you say your putting is and your short game also. I am by no means saying it isn't at all because it might be but when you put them in the way you did it does look like boasting to me also. it's not what you say.....it's how you say it that is key hope this helps and you can find the awnser your looking for

well I did buy myself another wedge. I bought a 54degree from the callaway pre owned website. I should get it Monday. so next week ill take it out and see how it works for me

thanks for the info but thats a long way from home about 4 hours or so

guess ill find out soon how it is to play golf with the wife just bought her a set of cheap clubs today so ill see how that's goes

buy the majority of mine at Wal mart but the wife works there so we get a discount.....which is good for as many as I loose LOL I normally buy the reconditioned balls as well to at least get a decent brand

got to hit on something cause I can't hit the ball for sh!t. LOL

i live in Sullivan about an hour outside of St Louis

been looking at Bags the last day or so because the one i have is pretty cramped with what i have club wise. for some reason i really like the looks of white bags but it seems to me that it would get very dirty quickly. just thought i might ask you all your opinions on white bags.

this is jsut me being new but do you use the same grip on your putter than you do on your irons or driver? i use the interlocking grip but to me it seems to feel more comfortable to use more of a baseball style grip on my putter. what are your alls opinions on this?

with me getting back into golf I have been hinting around at my wife starting to play and she has shown a little interest. we were on a 1 day trip this last Saturday to Branson where I was headed to pick my clubs I bought upwind we stopped at bass pro in Springfeild. and they have a really good selection of golf stuff and I was looking at some of the bags and my wife said to me " if I start playing ill have to have a nice pair of shoes" leave it to my wife to go for the shoes first lol

there is a Golf Smith store not to far from me that i was planning on going to sometime soon to take a look at the used rack and see what i can find for a Sand Wedge. its a little bit of a drive but there is some other things i would like to look at as well there and see also if they can give me some info on an instructor so i can take some lessons some time soon.

i always did it the wrong way also. wont from now on that i know the right way. thanks for the video.
