Hey all,

thought id sign up and get some tips and try to learn how to play properly!

i only recently picked up a club for the 1st time, my inlaws have organised a tournement for charity in september and i foolishly said i would play! turns out i quite enjoy it, ive only been to the driving range a few times so far ( 4 times in 3 weeks ) so i could practice my swing. ive got a few sets of clubs already which have been given to me by my father in law, just got to find out which ones i prefere then sell the rest on!

i do have a few questions etc but i shall try and find the correct area of the forum to post them in.

thans for reading and f you have any pointers etc feel free to chuck them at me! in the meantime i will have a look around!

Dave

No its in you it'll never leave. My advice would be get a few lessons and learn the basics properly and then practice both on the range and the course. The range is great for working on the swing but the course is where it counts.

thanks for the welcomes

im going to keep practising it cant help after all! actually spent my 1st lot of money on golf early and treated myself to 30 balls (pinnacle gold) for £20, makes a nchange i normally spend money on the car!

just looked at the bag and realised i havnt got a putter yet! might be useful!

Welcome Carbon.
I have found that on the odd occassion a putter has come in handy. It's either that or chip in on every hole!!

 

[Carbon]

Found my putter it was in the garage for some strange reason!

also found i have nearly 3 sets of irons and 3 bags so maybe time for a clear out.

currently i have a TOUR golf bag with:

TaylorMade R580 9.5 Driver
Wilson Ultra45 15.5 3 wood
Challenge 3-5 Irons
Mizuno TourXP? 6-9 Irons
Donnay 27degree recovery?
RAM 24degree recovery?
Mizuno TourXP? S
GO Classic II P
unknown putter.
Pinnacle gold balls.

i think thats all in there can anyone suggest which clubs may be worth changing? i was hoping to have a full set of mizunos eventually but whats peoples opinions of the clubs i currently have? i cant complain to much mind as i got them all for free!

thanks.
