I played baseball in college, so I had the typical baseball swing.. yet I could hit the ball decent. He transformed my swing and I struggled with it at first because it was brand new to me. Thats what I was referring to. A month and a half is a little long to still not showing signs of improvement.

Some of the first words my instructor told me... "You will get worse before you get better." It is like anything, you are doing it your way and making ends meet... however, when someone shows you the "correct" way, it is hard to adjust to it.

Walks up to the ball after my drive on a par 5. Hit it about 280... looks over at my playing partner and say... "Man, I think I can make it to the flag with this next shot." He says, "Nah... play it safe and leave yourself a simple chip shot." I look back and say, "forget playing safe... Im gonna crush it." SWING... CRACK!! Hello tree (tried to hit the ball 800 yards and sliced it bad) Look over and say, "toss me another ball" as he just chuckles and throws me a ball. I then, switch clubs and hit a beauty down the middle of the fairway. Look at him and say, "HA... thanks alot".

I seriously busted out laughing when I read this.

I think they should just make it easy. Your handicap should be how many strokes over par you are. Average it out and you have your 'cap.

The best advice I have always heard... "You can control the ball better on the ground." From then on, I have tried to get it on the ground as quick as possible. I tend to take my 8 iron and bump and run. I often get full of myself and try and shoot for the flag and end up rolling way past. Bump and run is the easiest shot for me to control.

I dont see why everyone is up in arms about this. Alot of beginners are intimidating by the game enough. Let alone shelling out big cash for something they might even hate. I think it is stupid to have never swung a golf club seriously, to go out and pay the local pro an arm and leg for lessons. What happens if his boss ends up hating the game??? Kennay... go for it. Show her the ropes and if she loves the game, then recommend a local pro to her!

Quick question... opinions are greatly appreciated. I am currently gaming the Slingshot 4D's and I enjoy them... but I kind of feel they arent exactly for me. I have stumbled across a great deal on some Ping G5 irons... brand new standard black dot. I have a couple of questions... Which would be the better irons for game improvement? Is it worth the upgrade? Should I spend the extra cash on the G10s or G15s? Can I take them to Golf Galaxy or a golf store of some sort to get them fit (bent to my specs) for me after purchasing them?

I used to get ticked off, however, I have came to the understanding that it only makes me worse. Slow play really ticks me off too. Everyone plays at a different pace, but if you are the start of a back up... please dont hit 3 balls on every shot.

$50 cash money... and I would be interested in purchasing it right now!

Another fan of the Wilson Profiles. I think they are great balls for the price.

Thread is WORTHLESS without pics!

I would have made the idiot feel like a jerk. I would have said something along the lines of my friend being homesless and not having the money to pay for lessons!

Yea, its always tougher for righties to score. Even if I have 3 lefties on my pair, I still dont have to make many adjustments.. for the simple fact that I throw a complete different line.

Exactly... with me throwing the ball two handed and being left handed, it makes a huge different. There isnt another lefty who plays the same line as me, therefore, my oil never really changes!

Its a big difference... I bowl on house oil patters... if I bowled on what the pro's bowl on... id average 190. The pro's can miss by one board... they have to hit a target consistently. On a house shot, you can aim at an area! You dont have to hit your mark EXACTLY to shoot big in a casual league. Here is my bowling profile directly from www.bowl.com http://membership.bowl.com/USBCsearc...826&suffix;=297 And here is my to date achievements! http://membership.bowl.com/USBCsearc...826&suffix;=297 I tore my achilles in 2007.. so notice the amount of games declining.

I have bowled my entire life... I currently average 230 and 228 in two different leagues. Well, they both just ended... Golf is by far the harder sport... I am a "two-hander" (for the bowlers who know... alot like PBA pro Jason Belmonte)... I have shot 5 300's (perfect games) and I believe 6 800's sets. With the highest being a 857 without a 300. 299, 259, 299. I think if you can pick up a regular ball and you can throw it fairly straight... you can score a 150. However, not everyone can pick up a golf club and hit the ball and score a 100. Accuracy, timing and power are in both sports, but I think its in a different aspect. The 12th strike is very hard, but a hole in one is alot harder. I dont think the 12th strike is the hardest one. I believe the 2nd one in the 10th frame is alot harder than the last ball. Adreneline carries you on #12... nerves carry you on ball #11.

Just a weird nickname that has stuck of the years for me!

Color me JEALOUS!

ahhhh... Terre Haute - Home of the Indianapolis Colts training camp!!

Greetings to both!! Richmond, VA here.

Sims was BAD last year, however, in previous years... he was the Lions best defensive player!

I had the exact same club Kennay... loved it. Scored a crazy good deal on a Machspeed... I like the Machspeed alot better than the Dymo, but thats not short changing the Dymo. Great purchase. Let us know how you hit it.

Ahhhh... I am the same way! Top Flite Gamer V2 Noodle Long and Soft Precept Laddie
