Hello, everyone! I feel like I am forced to start this thread although I have had no desire to do so at all. There are two reasons for this. First, I would like to warn everyone that the way halpennygolf (Ireland) do their business is extremely unfair and you should refrain from having any business with them. Secondly, I would like to kindly ask for your advice on what to do next. Here is the story in brief: On April 4th 2014 I have ordered a set of irons from their internet store. The irons were a present for a friend of mine who lives in Ireland. I paid everyt

Hi, Groomyd! I am a very frequent visitor to Turkey and particularly to the Belek area. It is the major golfing destination for the Russian golfers. There is about a dozen courses there and some of the turkish pros are my good golfing friends. Let me know what exactly you want to know about the place and I will try to help you out. PS: I have to disappoint you but The Gloria courses are far from the best in the area both conditioning and design wise. TAT is also a somewhat "lesser" place. There is no course called Catalya. But there is Carya ( which is what you meant I bel

Why dont we see more russians in pro golf?
AspiringGolfPro replied to Blitz28179's topic in Tour Talk
As a Russian golf pro, I feel like I may chime in. In no particular order the reasons are: - no history of game, no traditions and a bad perception of golf in the masses. As others have said, golf was considered a bourgeois sport during the USSR and this hasn't changed yet. - very few golf courses (around 10 in the whole country now) which are also very upscale and expensive, actually closed to public - as a result very few people play golf, especially youngsters, who prefer more aggressive and dynamic sports in general - climate is also part of the reason, but it ain't -

The latest update re: my improvement. This past week was spent in Russia where I couldn't refrain from playing golf. I have played 9 holes on my local GC with a CR of 70 and SR of 128 and shot 37 (+1). By far the best round of my life - 100% fairway hit, 70% GIR and decent short game and putting. THE conclusion: go to the Golf Evolution Academy, spend some time and money and get better, way better. Period. -

How Does Your Backswing Feel?

So, dear ladies and gentlemen, here comes the stuff to prove what was said above. Of course, I do realize that I am not close to perfect or even good by any means, but who is!? My point is that in 10 days I changed my swing from craptastic to nice and now I need to further improve it and then groove it/make consistent and learn how to apply it on the course. There is a lot of work to be done yet but I feel like like I am on the right track. 1. How did I look like on the first day?

quoted for truth!

Today seems like no wind it all, am I right?

Many good answers here but what really draws my attention is how your shaft look like at impact - isn't it way too soft for you?

I finally realized that the most important thing for me to work on - is hitting the ball from in to out. I believe 99% of guys who can't break 90 on a moderately difficult golf course are those who swing over the top. Let's be honest it is soooo difficult to compensate the out-to-in path!

Not yet, of course, you can't drop it down to 4 in like 10 days. But I'm sooooo close! Seriously, though, I am improving greatly and will soon kick my own ass. Remember, golf is a sport where you need to fight with yourself all the time.
