Welcome from Wisconsin I did a wind farm out in western Maryland years back. Brought the blades out there from Dundalk nice area.

Damm auto correct I meant honey do's

I'm a truck driver nothing fancy I work Wednesday thru Sunday so I get two days off i golf at least once a week maybe twice if my honey dies are all paid up

My golf goals are to find my tempo and employ it which will then help my other goal which is to get into the double digits. I played today and for once my putter was very warm but my drives were fubar. Will try again tomorrow and many many more times after that.

Some great stories lol. Just raving the driving range and my 7 iron was great. My Ben hogan 3 hybrid was good but not really much farther. Practice practice. Let's hope I can keep a few more balls on the fairway and out of the forests ?

52 years golfing. I bet you've seen a bit of change in club design and innovation. Has the advancements help your game? Or was there an older club that you felt was as good or better than some of the newer stuff? I'm 54 and just starting but very much in love with the game.

Sweet. Yea my 4 iron is my sweet spot club

Ok I found two apps for my iPhone. SwingxSwing and 18birdies. Both have scoring hole by hole and course layout along with position gps and distance to hole. SwingxSwing has my public par 3 but a lot of ads and errors with gps (works3 out of 5 times). 18Birdies works great with gps. Scoring on SwingxSwing has better break down of hole were as 18Birdies is basic in free version. Has anyone found another app or has anyone used these and had better luck I have the new I have the iPhone 7 plus FYI

Sorry for the confusion, but was more interested in the particular club or clubs than the brand. I heard an interview with Lee Trevino at Greenbrier and got me remembering a video I watched years ago call the one club challenge and they had to use just one club to play, it was interesting and humorous to watch. So I posted this thread. I have a mixed bag of clubs and not a one is new. Medium irons are my go to when I can't hit squat. FYI I got my irons at a garage sale 1-9 and sw,lw and pw all for $5.00. Had to get 1-3 regripped but all others had arthritic grips but I like them. Hope this clears up confusion. Or am I the confused one? Hummm? I from 1984

Awesome. Getting the hang of mine. The 1st hole of the par 3 I play sometimes is 104 yards and it's great to use my wedge. For closer shots I've been trying my 5 iron and giving a little boop and hopping it on the green and letting it roll up. I also have a mallet chipper that works great for just off the green. Thanks for the input. What brand of wedge you using?

Would like to know more about types and brands of clubs? I'm new to the lifestyle and well I can read reviews till I bleed from the eyes but actual users and reasons would be a great help. I personally like my irons (ping eye2's blue dot). I can hit them straight and each club up or down I can get about 10 yards plus or minus. 60-75% I hit them where I pray they go. I know there old as dirt but they hit nice and well just starting I figure I'll upgrade next season. Kinda why I'm looking for input. I have a tour edge bazooka QL 11 degree driver. Still trying to figure that monster out and a Ben Hogan 3 hybrid but have not hit it yet. I also have an older odyssey white hot putter with a fat grip.

In the Menomonie area looking for golf buddies around here. I usually golf Monday's and Tuesday's due to work. Give a shout will see what we can arrange.

Welcome from Wisconsin. I'm a Texas native now in wi and miss the area. I worked down in your area a lot. Find a nice 9 hole par 3 and get som practical application in. Reading and watching are great but you gotta see if you can put it all into motion. Or at least get to a driving range. Top golf is cool bar and driving range off of hwy 6 and I- 10. On the west side. I think super golf is over that way to. Otherwise you'll find the find great places south and north and a few inside the loop not much east. Well welcome and hope to hear more about your journey. Do miss the area

Hi all from menomonie on the west side. We have several courses in this area anyone free on a Monday or Tuesday I'm up to play. Those are my days off. Would love to meet new folks and play a round. I'm new and really have no handicap. Not sure he many rounds I have to play but just working on basics and enjoying the game. Contact me if your available Todd Aww sand valley is that the old arrowwwod country club?

Amen to that my only consistent shot is the wild ones. Welcome from Wisconsin hot and muggy here but greens fees are constant. Welcome to the forum

Do you think just in general it's worth anything not knowing if it works? And it rolls as nicely for having that fat front tire and all. Wonder what one in unknown condition would go for eBay wise

Sun mountain speed e cart Looking for your 2 cents. I got a Speed E Cart with a set of used clubs I got for my wife. It has no batteries, but rolls really nice, has all the accessories. Not sure if it works. Not sure I wanna drop 80ish buck to find out. Any thought on testing or should I just use it as a push cart? Or toss it with the clubs my wife said no she has no interest in playing. To bad thought they are a complete set of Jack Nicklaus aides clubs older but in great shape. So tell me your thoughts. I'm not overly techie so dumb down Igbo possible any testing tips lol. Thanks. Todd

Thank you for the link and the advise. Been doing some reading and checking out other videos. I can see my weight and stance are way off also I just bought golf shoes and that seems to help. Frustrating to keep hitting the same shots. My grip needs some work also I tried altering it and made my fade into a hook so I'll try to go the other direction. Never thought that thumb placement from center to the right thump moved left of center would make that big of a difference but Shazam it did

My 2017 goal is massive yet simple. I would love to straighten my drives out my driver, hybrid and long irons I am like a two year old on gummie worms I am all over the place. I can usually hit 4-9 straight but off the tee or long fairway shots I'm everywhere my theories might be wrong but I'm working the game from tee box to cup. Work on getting one part manageable then add the next component. Played on the 3rd. 7 penalty shots that day and 7 balls sacrificed to the golf gods. Don't want to not use my drivers and just short shot my irons but man I do get a bit flustered. I moved from my par 3 course up to the par 72 18 hole to push myself and to play with others and enjoy the game more now I wonder if I should have waited till next season to move up with the big boys. Also physically the 18 hole walking was to much. I could do 9 but second half was to much. So goal is to get shots straightened out and thus not chase the ball all over the place. Keep your fingers crossed. I have my first lesson with the club pro on the 10th.

Congratulations golf grouch hope you get lots of use out of it. ?

Noticed your trailing foot does not turn till shot is complete? Thinking it should be more fluid. You might look at a Ben hogan swing video. But if it's a straight shot and distance is good then don't fix what ain't broken. Have you had a lesson yet? Getting a pro to observe you is very helpful. I know at my club the pro will watch you hit a bucket of balls for 20 bucks. Just to see where to start with you. I'm having my session next week. ?

Hola to to you happy belated birthday and sounds like your game was great. I'm newish also but your scores spank my first few. So welcome to the sand trap. You'll find lots of helpful info and advice. Hope you'll post a swing video and add your fave course to the member map. I've gotten some good tips and nice to talk about that awesome round or whine about about the not so hot ones ( like mine today) but we keep playing and getting better. I can tell you today's round my best hole was the 19th. I aced the after play bud lite. So welcome glad to have you on board.

Can you do another swing video from behind so we can see your swing arch

Welcome from Wisconsin yes a bite from the golf bug brought me here also. Enjoy everyone here has been friendly helpful and great. You'll get tips and advice. All good. And again welcome

I've been Playing Golf for: 2 months My current handicap index or average score is: 29.5 My typical ball flight is: 175 yards The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: all shots fade right Any thoughts or comments are greatly appreciated I have my 1st lesson on the 7-10.
