Go to Golfsmith or Golf Galaxy and see if you can find a used Titleist 904F (should be between $50-$70)...I have a 19 degree with a steel shaft and a 13 degree with a graphite shaft. Both can bomb it.Originally Posted by Juicy J 32
thats what I'm expecting. Average temp in May is like 95 degrees.
I ended up copping a used 49 degree Cleveland 588. This should fill my need for a club around 100 yds. Next up is a 5 and maybe 3 wood. Does anybody pkay play tour edge exotics? I've heard they play very long.

After being persistent they offered me the membership at $100/month w/$100 initiation for the first year. After that I qualify for the junior executive (under 35) at $129/month.
I played Sat/Sun...88 and 95...88 with a couple mulligans and 95 playing completely legit.
I think the course gives you better feedback on your game than hitting at the range...if you have the time and no one else waiting behind you, take the same shot repeatedly. Learning how to make shots on the course is a lot better than taking shots at the range.Originally Posted by TrueBlue Magic
My dad put together a set of his old clubs so that I can start learning the game. Here's what I'm using at the moment:
Driver: TaylorMade r5 dual
Woods: TaylorMade r580 3 wood
TaylorMade Burner Rescue 6 wood
Irons: Callaway Steelhead X-14 irons
Putter: Ping Anser 4
I've went to the range 7 days in a row, just practicing with the irons. I've had some good days (consistently hitting straight up to 170 yds) followed by bad days (spraying the ball all over, not making good contact, etc.). Golf is a very humbling game, but so much fun.
Any tips or advice for a beginner like myself?
I won't disagree with that. A good professional should help you work out the flaws in your swing. Just remember that as long as a swing works for you and produces consistent results, it doesn't matter if it's ugly or not fundamentally sound. If you shoot scratch playing with Barkley's swing, good for you - don't change a thing.Originally Posted by Newbs24
As a beginner, I would try to stay away from the Golf mag tips. They give you soooooo much to think about. I would splurge and get a few lessons from a GOOD pro. I went 2 years trying to figure out my own swing and it was a mess.
I know different people start at different levels and I am still trying to work a consistent swing with all clubs, but getting lessons helped shane damn near 20 strokes in 18 months.

Spent 2 hours at the range yesterday trying to fix it and thought I had, then I get out on the course and blow up. Might have to get a lesson here in the next week or 2

Scotty Cameron putters are great btw
I don't know if there's a swing coach in the world that can fix his swing, Hank Haney tried, obviously it didn't workOriginally Posted by baik
