Have not seen a golf thread in a while and I thought I'd restart it with my tale...
It's been a while since I last played (70's) so I paid a local pro for 3 lessons and he helped enormously. But after a few times on the range, I realized my driver and I were not communicating. I wanted to go straight, the driver wanted to go right. Went to Dick's and found a Taylor Superfast Burner Driver that now goes straight for about 200 yards off the tee if I do everything right (oops correct).
I live in suburban MD and we have a bunch of county (well) run courses (www.mcggolf.com). Prices are reasonable. So I went out and played two 9 hole rounds this past week. Shot a 53 and an 50. That 50 could have been a lot lower if my putting was any good. I had 3 birdie opportunities that I 3 putted to bogies.
Bolstered with (false?) confidence, on Wednesday I will try the 18 hole course nearby. Wish me luck. It's long and hilly and requires carts all the way. My goal is to keep it under 100. If I fail, I want to keep it under my weight, which is a lot more than 100. Here's the scorecard. I'm playing the green tees.
Any hints on how to hit a long iron or fairway wood/metal? They're my problem children right now.
