I know the biggest key is practice practice practice! ha. I am going to play golf with some friends Friday and will probably get there an hour before them just to hit a bucket or two of balls and practice chipping. I did find that I was lifting my head too early and wanting to see where the ball went instead of seeing the club and ball meet. At the end of 18 holes I was getting more accurate but I was still over shooting my intended target. I try not to decelerate through the swing but I am a big guy, muscular throughout the shoulders, chest and back so I am always a little worried I am going to crush the ball, which again has a lot to do with how far I am going on my back swing. It is definitely what I have to fix in my game though. Would of have decent score had I not had that issue. Andrew

I have started to actually take golf up seriously in the last few weeks. I have not purchased a set of clubs( been testing out brands with friends clubs). This past Friday I went golfing with a good friend of mine who gave me a lot of good advice and was able to help me reduce my slice, practically eliminate it. However when it came to chipping onto the green, whether off the fairway or a bunker I was horrible! He told me I am coming back to far on my back swing on some shots and overpowering the swing he also said that I fail to follow through with my swing which is why I cant place the ball where I want. He told me to go to the driving range to practice my chipping. I was just wondering if anyone had any other advice for me to try on top of this. Thanks, Andrew

Well I went and played golf at Hickory Hills friday with a friend. I returned his clubs( Callaway Big Bertha Fusions) he brought some clubs along his father in law let us borrow. In the bag was a Taylormade burner driver, Taylormade r7qaud driver, futura putter, white hot putter, a couple r7 irons. He threw them in there so I could play with some different clubs and get a feel. I love the r7 quad driver, so much in fact I bought it from his father in law( he threw in two zevo hybrids). The r7 irons were very sweet, I was very accurate with them on my drives. The futura putter....well I like it...a lot, haha. Now looking for a set of irons. Andrew

I have just started actually playing golf seriously the last couple of weeks. I used to just play everynow and then a couple years ago. I currently do not own a set of clubs, I am borrowing my friends club ( callaway big bertha fusion irons, KZG 9* driver, a taylor made driver 10* and maxfli 3i &4i hybrids) I have hit decent with them. Currently I am a mid to high handicapper, spent some time at the driving range working on my hitting technique, i.e. slicing! lol I have also played with a set of Nike Ignite irons/ Nike sumo driver. I did better with the Callaway's ( played with them more) I have been looking at getting my own set and I want a good set that is forgiving and I will be able to improve with but as i improve that I will still be able to play with. Right now I am trying to decide what clubs would be best. Here is what I am looking at so far. 1. Callaway x-14 irons steel shaft/ Callaway ERC Fusion driver/ 3 wood X tour/ 5 wood Big Bertha 2.Nickent 3dx hybrid iron set 3.Callaway Big Bertha Fusion iron set 4.Titleist DCI 962 iron set/ taylor made bubble 2 woods/taylor made burner 9.5* driver. All above sets listed are used and I can get a good deal on. I have researched them and I am leaning more towards the first 3. Which one would you recommend to improve with or would you recommend another set of irons not listed? Thanks in advance Andrew

Not bad for first time out. Far better than me haha. I have played 4 times in the last 3 weeks and I am getting hooked. Andrew
