Im going out but its supposed to be around 14 degrees today

I didnt think it was that big of an issue. I just wanted an answer to the question and didnt know why it had been deleted. My computer is messed up and i thought it could have been the computer not posting the question.

This is the only way i feel comfortable gripping the club.. everything else feels so unnatural and has the ball going everywhere. My club face is closed at the start of the swing, it also doesn't feel right not having the face closed. But i never feel comfortable during my golf swing, i had a lesson from a pro a few months back and the grip he showed me/club position just doesnt work. I have been golfing for about 4 months and when im concertrating and trying to do my best my score for 9 holes will be in the high 40's, and if im fooling around and kinda just hitting the ball. high 50's. Am i eventually going to feel comfortable with my golf swing?

played 11 holes. 45 on front 9 and parred the 10th and 11th

47 yesterday at presidents golf course http://www.oobgolf.com/golfers/score.php?id=2753473

So i have been golfing for about 4 months and went to see a pro, and he corrected my grip, and told me to stand straighter. I just dont feel at all comfortable with the grip he showed me and i stand straighter now but still not as straight as he said to. If i hit the ball better with the swing i have now, is it bad to keep doing what i am doing? i shoot in the high 40's to early 50's for 9 holes. I saw a commercial today on the golf channel that said "swing your swing" dont try to have the exact swing as a pro, make your swing work... then Arnold Palmer said "i know i did" (cause his swing wasnt like the others). iron swing Driver swing:

A. Plays the ball that is supposed to be designed for your handicap/swing-speed. B. Only plays a Pro V1.. will not touch any other ball. C. Plays any ball found on the course/hunts for lost golf balls all the time. D. Buys any ball that is on sale. E. Buys recycled golf balls.

48 for 9 holes (good for me) took the driver out of the bag and am happy with the results

I only carry 12 clubs so it doesn't really make sense for me to answer this, but probably another hybrid or 5 wood

Ever wonder?

A recommended ball for a slow swing speed is the Bridgestone e6.. but how much of a difference would playing a lets say pro v have on a score. Do these anti slice or low compression balls really make a difference? I feel better when playing a name brand ball rather than a top flite or pinnace, so it seems i would be doing better hitting a ball i like. (btw i dont go out and buy brand new expensive golf balls, i find them or buy used ones)

9 hole par 32 - shot a 48; Had 3 pars.

Tryouts for the my school start a few weeks before school, but we dont have any matches and stuff until the first week.

Still have 4 more days left actually

All i really meant was it would be better for some people to start off with cheaper equipment and golf balls that are right for their game. I think people think i am taking it way more seriously than i am haha.

I dont know, ive always thought that if you can afford something, and you want it, but dont really need it, go for it, do whatever you want. I still believe in this, but whenever i see people who are walking on the course for the first time playing golf and are playing lets say some rbz irons a brand new callaway diablo driver and odyssey putter and insist on playing the Pro V1, it irks me a little. So many people play the wrong equipment, or what the pros use. I dont know i guess it is just an ego thing, or people just want the best. I have only been playing golf for about 3-4 months now and i play pinemeadow/wilson/top flite clubs, cause i dont need any brand new z - Star irons or anything like that. Im even thinking about playing a pink ladies ball for my match tomorrow. i dont know, i guess what im just trying to say is, improve your game before you are buying a $4 dollar golf ball and you dont have to start worrying about those expensive taylormade clubs unless your are a lower handicap haha.

Shot a 54 (9 holes) at Furnace brook Golf Club.. It was the second round for high school tryouts. The first round i shot a 55. I was kinda satisfied with my playing but its fusterating knowing i can play better than that and have gotten in the high 40's a few times. Also i had this one kid in my group who really struggled to hit the ball and we took so long the coach just left.. so i have to give him the score card tomorrow. Its not my fault, or the kids fault, we were not goofing around. It looks bad for me making the team now because the coach is just going to assume that we were goofing around probably.

Thats the same thing i started to think.

Thank you everyone, tryouts are tomorrow!

So i just started playing golf really about 3-4 months ago. I pick up on stuff rather quickly (hand eye coordination wise.) Ill have some days when my drives completely suck, but im doing well (for my standards with my irons) or days when my irons are just not working for me but the driver is, and vice versa. i havent had any lessons yet (my first lesson will be the day after tryouts) So far i have had about 10 pars and i birdied once, and i have recently been golfing an average of 4 times a week for the past 2 months. ive had some drives that were a lot better than my friend who has been golfing from when he was a little kid (im 16 starting) I have anxiety and crap like that so i dont want to completely suck in front of the team (full of high school jocks i would say) thats the main reason why i am questioning tryouts so much. i dont want these tryouts to take the fun out of golf though, but i dont wanna find out that i could have made the team. Should i wait until next year to try out when i have been golfing for longer) I normally get double bogeys, triple bogeys, bogeys and i have been getting like a par a round recently. Heres a video of my swing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGUR_kRhGTY

Shot a 104 (par 72) Braintree municipal golf course in Ma. (It helps to know that ive golfed for only 3 months without lessons so im satisfied with the score)
