I agree, it is fun but actually messes with my swing on the course. For example, it affects my divots and feel for distance.
About putting - in screen golf it is like in a videogame. I saw players adjusting the camera and following specific line rules to improve their putting results. I saw that there are screen golf championships in Korea.
Either way, fun to play with a group of friends and a good alternative for winter months.
Today I started using mine to practice on the carpet at home.
Primarily for chipping and checking impact and flight direction. That helps me adjust my grip/clubhead angle.
Their weight and material will obviously result in a different distance when hit in comparison to a regular golf ball. Therefore I would only use it for occasional practice at home.
1. "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge: Consistently practicing and posting my streak. Making it a habit to maintain my skills and level developed over the years.
2. Bogey Player: By end of 2019 play in Texas and score at least three games under 90.
Focus areas:
Develop better course management skills, game-strategy and focus on the long term development instead of thinking short term and how far I can hit today and how beautiful my swing does (not) look.
(Note to self for Jan. 2020: Relax and enjoy the journey with a vision; do not rush just to win)
Day 1 - 15 minutes putting, eye-to-ball alignment:
A bit late to this topic, but I dug out my old golf mat today and practiced 15 minutes of putting. Did short and long-distance puts with a focus on eye-to-ball alignment and not looking up to see where the ball rolls after impact.
Yeah, I agree. Pilates even helped me beyond core strenght. It improved my flexibility and that equated to a better swing - specifically a stable and controlled backswing.
Wow, thank you everyone. Yeah, Texas is number one on our list so far. I will start my job search and contact headhunters there, soon. Nevada is second on our list, but I find it difficult for my career there.
The other areas you listed (California, Florida) are amazing, but seem costly in comparison to TX.
Hello everyone
I am returning to this forum after years of absence from the game. It is still the best forum there is.
We are in the process of relocating to the US and choosing an area to live. (I am from Europe and in South Korea for work)
I would be grateful for your recommendations on where (state, city) to live for affordable and accessible golf under good weather
I break 100 and want to become a consistent bogey player after we move to the US this year.
Thank you,
Nave
