Me being 16, i'd say let the kid play what he wants, just don't be shy on encouraging golf and showing the best sides of it. He is only 13 his patience can grow within even just a year, so theres good chances, but if you force it and too much that'll backfire extremely. Give it some time and take him out, for me it's as much as my dad asking me lol.

Closest i've ever been was on 2 wheels, but otherwise just branch whipped many many many times.

That's not that bad at all for gloves, they usually last 15-20 rounds avg, but if your hands are slipping now then your grips are wearing down. I don't mind the Lamkin grips some of them are very nice i find. Pricing isn't half bad either.

Well as for the equipment, ebay seems to have the lefty's clubs which is good that's where i found my driver I wouldn't change being a lefty ever besides that would be stupid for me to do so now, dropping money on my current clubs and starting the game all over again... Yeesh lol!

Any other lefties on this site, i find the marketplace is a ghost town for us. Really gets me sometimes, i should switch to right

Mine would have to be about two weeks ago, where i shot my best score at the course i usually play at and from the tips. it's about 7,200 yards and a rating of 72.6 with a slope of 125. That day there was 35km winds out and went with and against us about the same amount in the eighteen holes. What was crazy was i shot my best game with those winds, and i have 3 driver that were over 300 yards (317,333,356) but the 333 one was with no help from wind as the wind died at hole 16 to 18, hole 17 it was a 370 yard par 4 with a massive water hazard taking away the direct route to the pin and the hole right side. Basically the fairway is on the left and taking the chance from the tips to clear water to a certain point is major risky. I had major decisions to make as i figured out that if i par'd out from hole 15 to finish that i would shoot my best score. So i decided to go for it, why not right? Well not only did i clear the water i carried over the 100 yard marker and almost made it to the very distant sand trap! I ended up to par the 15th, 17th, bogey'd the 16th, and birdied the 18th the long par five. Such a great round!!

Go with the adams unless you can get a steal on the cobras

A nice classic club for sure. There's a good chance that you always hit this club so nicely because you have great confidence in it, and you always feel you can hit a great shot with it. Something everyone wishes they could have with all there clubs for sure.

I'd have to say living in Canada is great as well, we just miss out on great things like half baked ice cream, and all the good flavours of pop tarts. But are iced tea does kick @$$ I wish i was in your situation lots, but of course i work a near full time summer job (64 hours every two weeks) and having 3 day weekends, so it could be much worse am i right? I only get to golf once a week thanks to it, but next year is membership time again.

Depends what's your price range?

The full swing for women can take a good while to find as they dont have the strength men have, though they have good power to strike the ball its hard for them to keep balance etc. This is all based on what i have seen with my mom, as she's a beginner to the sport. Her swing is looking much better simply time and coaching will take her a long way, as well as with your wife. Swinging in the back yard not hitting a ball is a great way to get the full swing feeling comfortable. Try it with your wife and help eachother out. I myself can be outside swinging and doing maintenence on my clubs for an hour and a half at a time some days. It's a perfect way to keep a good swing going between rounds and the range.

I have a few friends that i generally play with about once or twice in a year, they stayed at the Country Club i choose to leave, because i wasn't a fan of the people there, but that's a long story in itself. Anyways these two friends of mine they join up for every tournament possible and hang out with these really good golfers, and they call themselves great. Well they claim they shoot rounds of low 70's etc. and even do so in tournaments where as i've watched them as i play with them on the course and they cheat the whole time. Bad tee shot... throw up another one with no extra strokes what so ever. Bad lie.. try and make it look like they found a different ball when it is theres, and nudge it over a few feet and play it. Then by the end of the hole i count with there provisional shot and then however many strokes they took and ill count a double or a triple bogey. So we walk to the next tee box and everytime it is the same "that was a bad hole" so i say what did you get? "They go i got bogey" I can't believe it!!!! Then if they have a day where they shoot a 81 they say it's terrible! By the end of the round i have there two scores along with mine on my own score card and there shooting high eighties. Absolutley ridiculous! It makes me so mad to see them do that and yet think there so great, winning prizes in tournaments that they should have never got... etc. It's really sickening... but what im getting to is, How can you live with yourself if you do that??

I have a steel shaft on my 3 wood not my driver, but of course it's top flite and hte shaft is stock so it's not exactly what'd u say is high quality. When your swinging it though everything feels great i like the feel very much, but when i connect with the ball/make a divot the flex is greater then you would expect for a steel shaft. All in all i get great distance when i connect but the accuracy i'd have to say your better off with a graphite still. Maybe get a heavier shaft?

That is a great way to start things and build confidence back to your 3 wood. Sometimes for woods and your driver as well, it's good to almost pretend that your hitting a iron. I myself try'd it last year and it did some justice to get my confidence back then i went to try and develop the real deal. Now im sitting comfortably with a nice swing.

I'll give him maybe a top 10 finish, lets hope that his mental state of mind keeps him on the fairways this time.

That isn't exactly what one would call a great tip, because being new to the sport you may not understand that just twisting your hips could make you worse. There is tons more parts to the swing, and being still a novice to golf turning your hips can make things much worse and way off track from where you were. Best idea is to seak full information on swings and slowly at times on the range try to figure it out. Keep it up man!

Just last week i played my first round with my new wedge and my chipping was great, lots of confidence etc. My driving and irons were doing there job as well, playing right on target for a new best score... well my putting was a different story with 6 G.I.R's that day i bogey'd three of them and par'd the other three, i had 6, 3 putts for a final total of 38 putts. It was awful to say the least, and i was curious to how my putting just all of a sudden went south. It used to be my most confident part of my game. Just goes to show like Dent said (1 in 10) chance to have everything going right.

somewhere around 250ish, i hit a fair heighted ball with power.

I doubt it's permanent then, but permanent overhead marker works real well!

Just think the same way you do on the range really. Mats do make a big difference there completely different from grass, i hate them personnaly.

Drink lots of water, and shade your club grips

My best score there has been 87 from the tips, i usually now shoot a 87-89 and out of the what 10 rounds i've played there this year only once i hit out of that range and that was with a broken driver. Shot a 90 lol, i seem to be always around the same, yet my game will seem better other times than others. I just fall apart from holes 11-14 i don't know why

O right on glad to see that you tried and like'd it! I play a fairly competitive league currently last year AA, but high school ima go for next year i have a good chance i believe the coach likes me

No way! me and dent live in NK to and play Meadows once a week! I played larters early in the year it's a nice course i like'd it.

O god that town (Portage La Prarie) is only half an hour or so from are city, like jeez talk about messed up, it was a definate major shock to probably a good chunk of the news watchers. But don't worry are license plates say "Friendly Manitoba" lol if that helps
