OnePutt

I'm also in your situation. Learned how to play golf righty because that's what was around the house when I was younger. I don't see any problems although I still putt better left handed because of the dominant eye. IDK my base of hitting around the back yard for probably 5 years was right handed, maybe I'd be better left handed but I'm pretty satisfied with progress at this point. I also bat right handed in baseball. Same everything for me, exactly except I've never snowboarded. I believe you meant ambidextrous.

Haha I was just joking, I had a round like that friday. Shot in the 90s I think, but just really enjoyed myself out with a friend and brother. Great day, great course, felt great. Didn't play so well but still some of the most fun ive had this summer.

You been puffin ganj broski?

cool story bro

I lift 5x a week, not really for golf more for myself to let off steam, improve body, etc. I probably lift "too heavy" for golf but like I said I lift for myself and have been doing it much longer than playing golf. Lately I've been focusing on squats as well as abs to improve core and add driving distance. I have a 4 day split - chest/triceps, back/biceps, quads/hamstrings, and shoulders/abs. After every workout I run 3-4 miles, sometimes I'll mix it up do bike or elliptical or something. With this and a solid diet I've dropped 25lbs over the last two and a half months.

try driving yhe green on a short 4 and four putting!

I haven't done it yet, just didn't want to spend the money. The shaft is too whippy and I've had some inconsistency... I plan to go with a pulled nv65 though because I know it works for me. I've used my brothers driver like I mentioned earlier, and I don't have the funds to try out several so I'm picking one that will at least provide an improvement.

Probably average 27 holes a week, plus at least one trip to the driving range. About 1 hour putting/chipping, 1 hour irons, 1 hour woods per week. I play twilight, walk because its cheaper, and play wherever I can get the best price.

Something is needed to draw the 20+ men's crowd, which obviously drives the popularity of men's sports. Some sort of pga/lpga interaction (big names only of course), sex appeal, rivalries, personalities (think TO/Chad Johnson in the NFL). These could all be seen as good or bad for the sport, but all will increase popularity, which in turn increases money, and cycle continues. On a side note, I absolutely HATED watching golf on TV until this year. When you've played it, it gains so much more interest. Of course I watched the occasional Tiger victory and the ESPN segments, but that's it.

Step back all the way. Take 2 weeks off, hit the range saturday and sunday, stick with the league, and just look at things from another perspective. It is EXTREMELY easy to get caught up with the game and just lose your hold on it, believe me I've gone through it pitching in baseball the same way. Make sure practice time stays structured and you're always working to get better. Good luck!

1) Well kept landscaping, overall just not in "bad" condition 2) Elevation changes, water, sand, trees 3) Natural setting - not just jammed into a square plain.

These are irons you're talking about, correct? They don't have graphite shafts, do they? You are correct most likely about over compensation, perhaps putting in some time to correct the ball flight is necessary, if these clubs were fitted properly. I'd say that's more than likely the solution, but if you aren't confident the next step is have a lesson and let a pro who knows what he is doing take a look at your swing.

Putter yes, hybrid yes, I see an improvement in both areas. The hybrid will bring a new dimension to your game and the putter is a definite upgrade. As far as the wood, I'd say hold off. That wood isn't really an upgrade from what you've got, and you may as well hold on to your money for now. Wedges, the set is nice because it gives you a nice 4 degree step from pw to lw, but you might want to save money for nicer wedges such as older clevelands, vokeys, or x-tours. Just my opinion of course, if you don't see yourself upgrading again then go for that package.

I only used the driver on holes where I was comfortable today, for example open fairways used the driver, then the other four I used the 5 wood, which I can easily hit straight.

I would be extremely surprised if they didn't ship today, don't sweat it. Often the shipping info is delayed, sometimes up to a day.

Are you following through the ball? I sometimes find myself trying to feel my way around the green, sliding the wedge under the ball and finishing with the club moving horizontally. This almost always ends in shanks.

Yeah go for it, you can upgrade your clubs over time as you break 100 and move closer towards 70s. Start out with a 3 wood, 5 wood, or maybe even 3 iron from the tee. Learn to drive last, you'll thank me later.

GP Tour Wraps for me. Just what were on mine when I bought them, clubs were used but grips were new.

I think the only reason it would hurt your score is if you're out of shape or whatever. It definitely clears my head, sometimes in the cart I'll get caught up in the moment/not remember my focuses during the swing and not commit to it.

Try to find a 07 or possibly 08 model, look for a shaft that fits you perfectly and make that the priority.

60 Degree wedge is extremely versatile. I move the ball back in my stance (delofting the club a little) for greenside bump and run. All my chipping around the green is with the 60, and any shot from probably 40 yards and in. 75 yards or so is sand wedge, anything farther PW or irons. I completely agree with the first statement, this is the same reason I'm comfortable with my LW. However, walking is the opposite for me. I have more time to think about my shots, and I almost never lose balls because I don't have to ride to the other player's first.

You could shave a 10 foot square in your yard, then have the surrounding area a little higher and chip towards a bucket or something in the middle. Pretty straightforward, obviously you'll have less roll in your yard though.

Wow man, hope you can get back on the course soon. Definitely puts things in perspective, we all take too much for granted. That said, will there be permanent disfigurement?

I play the same driver ^ but my irons are probably the oldest in the bag. Great condition though.

Great round man, it feels awesome when everything comes together. Definitely keep lowering your score by getting rid of the disaster holes, its harder to start birdieing a hole your normally par, etc. when you could just lay back a little and pick up a single instead of double/triple.
