If there is a golf galaxy near you I would hit them up. The one here has a very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff.

You'll get there. Keep chugging away at it.

Thanks Sky. I doubt it (I'll probably spend the rest of my life topping shots at a 9 hole), but thanks for the confidence. I may suck, but I do enjoy a nice day of golf (between the profanity, of course).

Just when I thought it was winding down, Old Man Winter is getting cranky again. Blizzard watch with a possible foot of snow.

I'm hoping it doesn't materialize like they're saying it might. This would be a setback to the start of the season.

Check out the Adams hybrids. They are the #1 hybrid on tour for a reason. I have the A7 and its awesome. They can also be had pretty cheap now that some of their newer stuff is out.

Re: 2011 Golfer's Thread

My swing is great right now. i have only played one round. Its raining a ton here and i hate rain golf. So im thinking mid april i'll be able to get out and play. But on the range im stroking it. Last year I had the best year in golf in my life. I broke 80 three times (79 all three) and the consistency to my game is getting good My goal this year is to shoot a 75

Re: 2011 Golfer's Thread

First off, Hybrids are awesome. I only started really using them last year and they really improved my game. I just have a lot more confidence in hitting solid shots with them than I do with my long irons. I have a 4 & 5 Cleveland and a 3hybrid Bobby Jones.

I played 3 times in the last 5 days. Not playing great but I hope that is just knocking off some of the winter rust. I shot in the mid to upper 80's every day. That's not awful for me, but once I get back in the swing I should be consistently in the upper 70's.

Gonna buy a new Driver in a couple weeks, just need to figure out which one I want and which one I hit the best.

Got signed up for my 1st benefit tourney this year on April 29th. All proceeds go to Hospice.
Hopefully the weather pans out.
Saturday I'mm be hitting the course for my first full round. So far I'm hitting great at the range so hopefully that will translate well to the course.

Re: 2011 Golfer's Thread

hit hybrids tonight. Not sure if they're for me. I don't mind hitting long irons and actually hit them very well.

Think I'll hang on to my money and spend it on something else I need, like a 60 degree wedge.

Im the same way. I hit my 3 iron 240, yet i hit a 3 hyrbrid 210. I hate hybrids personally.
But i do love my 60 degree wedge, probably my favorite club in my bag.

Re: 2011 Golfer's Thread

Great Thread!
I just purchased an R11. I love it. I hit a drive this past weekend 348 yards (measured with my skycaddie)!!! Granted it got a ton of roll because it was extremely downhill.
My average drive was about 290, but it was really wet, so I was getting 0 roll.

Short game was pathetic though. Chipping was terrible. I hate the first rounds after winter...short game is always so bad. Absolutely no feel.

Yep. I went with the hybrids back when I was struggling with long irons. Since then I've gotten really good hitting them and feel I have better control.
