one of my goals in life is to learn how to play golf. effing tough and frustrating sport

i figure if i go to a driving range more and properly learn how to drive with direction and all, that would be a good start? i know how to use proper form on the drive, but thats about it

**pedobearu_aware** · 03-02-2010, 05:03 PM

I'm was a 12.1 last time I checked. Haven't picked up a club in 3 months. Feels bad man.

Edit: Member here

I'll probably play next week, when I'm on Spring Break. My little bro is a 7 now, so I'm probably gonna get worked. I'm hoping I get a chance to go to the Masters again this year.

**ATownDRock** · 03-02-2010, 05:39 PM

My dad's been the pro at the best public golf course in NE Wisconsin for 20 years. Has the biggest Men's club in all of Wisconsin. It's a county owned course, so he's pretty much an independent contract, and the website blows ass as well because it's county owned. Funding is obviously lacking too because it's the only thing in the county that makes money.

http://www.co.brown.wi.us/department...g=562550b85971

I haven't played seriously in a couple years, but I've been playing since I could walk, so I picked up the sticks last year for the first time in over a year and shot a 75 up in the UP @ a 6900 yard course.

Sold all of my sticks the last couple years except my putter lol. I use my brothers **** or just take stuff from the pro shop when I want to play.

Scotty Cameron Futura Phantom Mallet 2, straight & center shafted.

edit: Course had the same terrible douchebag Superintendent for like 20 years. He took horrible care of the course and sucked up to the county board, making cuts all the time instead of improving the condition of the course. New Superintendent last year making some awesome progress. Pictures are ****ty on the website, it's a beautiful course.

**OdIN_** · 03-02-2010, 05:53 PM

in b4 tiger woods

btw ya i think im gonna start playing sometime june/july after i graduate.

**horriblecreation** · 03-02-2010, 06:29 PM

bros, any input on those new callaway diablo irons ive started to see? If im behind the curve, tell me I'm dumb. Parents said they'll buy me a custom fitted set for graduation, any ideas?

**mchomertime** · 03-02-2010, 06:39 PM

Haven't golfed in about 2 years or so, will usually just go randomly with my dad. I'm terrible but its pretty fun.

**Philip81193** · 03-02-2010, 06:40 PM

I only play once or twice a year. I'd like to become at least profficient in the sport so it can become a social outing for me.

**VegasPumped** · 03-02-2010, 07:03 PM

It's not golf season yet...
brb raining all day

**camdls1** · 03-02-2010, 07:13 PM

just played golf this weekend, i tried a whole new approach, dont hit the ball hard just focus on my form and i went decent, i only hit the ball about 150m off the tee but all my shots were straight down the middle.

also gonna buy a new driver, whats the best cheap driver you can buy.

**jafomofo** · 03-02-2010, 07:18 PM

I played golf at eagle crest in Oregon a couple times. I suck though, can only drive the ball 260 yards or so.

**Purostaff** · 03-02-2010, 07:26 PM

Always wanted to learn golf but never really got into it. Any good forums out there for beginners to ask for advice, shop, etc..?

**jafomofo** · 03-02-2010, 07:27 PM

get a lesson. start off on the right foot. Should be able to pick up 3-5 intro lessons for around 100-150.

**hindes204** · 03-02-2010, 07:37 PM

I try to get out every weekend...in the Air Force so I have played mostly on base courses. I got stationed here in northern California last year and there is a plethora of nice courses around here...here is one of my favorites around here that I have played

www.hiddenbrookegolf.com

My handicap isn't what I would like it to be, it's about a 16, but I really enjoy the sport.

In the bag

taylor made R580 driver (I know, time for a new one)

Ping Rapture irons (first generation) w/graphite shafts
ping wedges
ping putter

**HELIX35** · 03-02-2010, 07:40 PM

Hola

When I first started playing my uncle crafted an entire set of clubs for me, still use them to this day.

**HELIX35** · 03-02-2010, 07:44 PM

Here are some pics from the British Country Club I played at in Kenya

And yes those little bastards will steal your ball

**Kevintensity** · 03-02-2010, 08:05 PM

i started playing last march thru august. played my first round this year a week ago (went to range 3 or 4 times beforehand), shot a 92, with 40 putts. hit 5 GIR, put one 6-8 feet from the cup on a par 3. (yes bad stats, but I'm proud of em hahaha)

I'm hoping to play a lot this sumemr

and to other beginners, what helped/helps me is watch Shawn Clement's videos on youtube. good stuff.

**jafomofo** · 03-02-2010, 09:47 PM

slowest...moving...sticky...ever.

anyone get a GPS app for their phone? I have a droid and was hoping something might come out equivalent to at least a simple GPS app with loadable maps. I think the iphone has one and I saw a handheld unit about a year ago made my I think callaway that was awesome.

**Kiddi** · 03-03-2010, 12:16 AM

Can't wait to play this summer. Too bad I can't start until a month into the season in June since I'm doing a student exchange in Denmark. That's really bad since the golfseason in Iceland isn't that long

I'm 18 in handicap and the plan is to get to around 10 this summer. By improving my shortgame especially and of course everything else as well.

In the bag.

Taylor Made R7 irons
Taylor Made 3 hybrid/rescue
Titleist 60? wedge
Ping Zing putter
Nike Sumo SQ (the square headed)
