Date: September 16th, 2024 10:22 PM Author: dha tux ( ) Great time. Rented clubs, bad putting, one blow up hole (11 on a par 5) where my drive landed one foot OOB, didn't lose my ball through nine while using driver 4-5 times.
Can't wait to do this shit again. |
Date: September 16th, 2024 10:24 PM Author: chill exurb dad How did you practice and prepare? I really want to golf but I’m already 40 and never so much as swung a golf club before. Love watching it on TV though |

Date: September 18th, 2024 8:43 PM Author: Sonic Jinner I started playing last year (older than you) and I'm better than almost everyone I see at the driving range.
Just start with super GI clubs (ai max fast, qi10, g430 HL) or super forgiving distance irons (p790), no irons longer than 6i and graphite shafts with Winn grips.
GI clubs make it so much easier to hit straight but downside is you learn slower imo
Drivers are lighter and more forgiving than ever.
Take golf lessons somewhere indoors that uses simulator and video camera for swing analysis. This will give you way faster progression than any outdoor or bullshit group lessons.
After 1-3 lessons you'll feel ok playing alone on a 9-hole course.
After a year you can upgrade to player's distance irons or blades and get a cool bag, fancy shoes etc |
