Rep Power: 0  | im new, i dont know what to do! Hello everyone, I am the new guy.I am 25 and I have just started playing golf with my own set ( I have played a few times but did not know what I was doing), and have enjoyed myself thus far having my own clubs. I am trying to learn as much about golf as I can to better myself, which is why im here... seeking knowledge from the vetsn or anyone that is willing to help me . A little info on my game...... I suck at chipping, putting is come and go( i usually 2-3 putt). Can not drive with a driver (horrible slice and no aim) so I use myirons off the teebox. My form is COMPLETELY off, and im going to do something about it. My ball striking is what im most concerned about, im sick of making a fool of myself.I need to learn how to swing the club properly. I usually shoot around 110-120 and im getting upset because I know I can shoot under 100 if I can fix my form and so on. So any and all help is appreciated, im begging |

Rep Power: 0 | Stop. Calm Down. Right now go out an buy a copy of Ben Hogan's Five Lessons. Small, well illustrated journal that will change the way you act, think and execute. It's not about playing the game to score. It's about developing a quality routine that gives you the best opportunity to strike the ball well. I'm a 9 handicap. I re-read this journal 3 times a year and have been doing so for years. It gets me back on track and constantly reminds me of the importance of going back to fundamentals. I promise you that this short read and trip to the range afterwards will be worth its weight in gold. |
