Thanks for the responses! Anybody else think the Nickent driver is any good? $50 is a ridiculously good price. Thanks again!

Where are they on sale for $99? Thanks for the reply

My friend recently got married, and I'd like to buy him a new driver. He is a total beginner, and his driver is absolutely terrible. What do you guys suggest for a 6'3 beginner? His swing is very slow but I think it will get faster as he learns the game. I'd like to get him something nice without spending a ridiculous amount of money. Any help would be appreciated..

I have had 2 or 3 lessons in the past and I learned a lot. The only problem is I can't afford to take consistent lessons. It is free and easy to post videos on here, so why not? Most of the responses so far have been extremely helpful. There are a few obvious problems with my swing that I didn't notice until they were pointed out. I really don't care if anyone on here is "certified," I'm happy with the responses so far and I encourage more. Thanks!

Thank you to everyone who responded. I haven't really had any lessons so I am trying to pick things up as I go along. No that wasn't a Yuengling unfortunately... haha Here is a video from behind, hopefully I can get some more tips. Thanks again for the help.

yea it is armsy i need to work on that... im actually not that short, i wonder if i can hit further with proper hip movement... how can I work on that?

I can't seem to keep my head still on the downswing. Is there anything I can do to stop this? I know I will be able to hit it more consistently if my head stays in place. Other than that, are there any more problems you can see? thanks for any help.

unfortunately that isn't an option, but thank you for all of the responses so far

This is a video of my friend's swing at the range. He has only played once or twice and is a true beginner. He has been frequenting the range and would love any tips you guys might have. Please respond with any suggestions in relation to the video. Thanks!

Thank you! very helpful.. in response to number 2: I have been using my friends clubs, and he is a big guy... my clubs fit me better and I don't need to choke down on them, but for now thats all I have access to

thank you jetsfan for that incredible amount of information... any specific tips on my swing would be much appreciated tho

is it working now? first timer, sorry about that

So I have had a couple lessons but haven't played on the course too much. I am essentially a beginner, but I can get away with making contact most of the time. I was hoping to get some tips from you guys on here so here is a low quality video of my swing. Please give feedback if possible, thanks!

thanks for your help, looks like I have some exploring to do

anyone else? could really use some help

I am currently living in the city of Boston and was just wondering if someone could point me in the direction of a good driving range and or cheap public golf course. I am trying to get my friend into the game and some place close to the city would be ideal. Living in Beacon Hill if it helps... thanks

Arrowhead Public golf course in Colorado. Absolutely mind blowing.

Uber I'm not in Colorado anymore, that is probably throwing you off.. I'm in Nantucket, MA getting hit by hurricanes and tropical storms!

yea i am considering one of those grassy mats as well... are those nets the best option out there?

I am going to be stuck inside for a while because of bad weather. I was just wondering if anybody has an indoor setup for just practicing their swing... nothing fancy, just somewhere to hit some balls without worrying about hurting a passerby. What do you guys recommend? I have heard a simple canvas tarp will do the trick, but figured I'd post this and hope for some good suggestions. I have a fairly large basement where I am planning on doing this. Thanks!

I just play whatever I find or buy for cheap, but as a joke I got my Stepdad a dozen balls each with a picture of his face. He thought they were hilarious.

interesting. good to know im not alone out there, and may even have some advantages...

Awesome! congrats to your pops

I'm sorry but, who gives a shit. The guy is a legend, I don't care if he's purple, call him what you will.

50% chance of rain? you can't be that angry.
