Don’t care too much, but the defending champion should be featured. I think he’s got a right to be upset.

I'll start: Rickie.

Darkhorse winner: Yannik Paul

First birdie ever after (embarrassingly enough) 6 months of playing. It was on the first hole too so it was all downhill from there but I’m still over the moon about it :)

New to golf and practicing at the range. I hit my first 15 balls exactly how I wanted to and then on the 16th I clipped the ball and hit the barrier separating the stalls.

I got nervous and it was all down hill from there.

I thought about changing stalls because I was face to face (lefty) to people. But there was a little girl practicing on the left edges and that even made me more nervous. Lol

Anyways, I’ll be back at it tomorrow.

Has anyone used these guys? I’ve seen them promoted on some YouTube channels. I’m a big fan of lessons but they are obviously expensive and the teaching pros at my club kinda are geared towards getting you to single digit HCP whereas I’m around a 17.

Thoughts?

Today, after 3 months of golf, I hit my first Birdie on our local par 3 course!

What a feeling!

I've recently gotten back into golf after taking about a decade off. I've taken some lessons, but still feel like I need some time out on the course alone to do some fine tuning and gain some confidence being out there. I've never gone out alone before, but definitely think it would be helpful before meeting up with friends and family for a round. Does anyone on here golf alone? I've been hesitant to book a tee time, because I really don't want to be paired up with a group and negatively impact their game. Any tips or words of encouragement would be appreciated! Although I did golf in the past, I would definitely consider myself a beginner, especially after my lessons revealed a lifetime of bad habits I'm working against.

I've attached a picture that hopefully illustrates the situation I often find myself in. I'm still quite a beginner at golf.

I'm in the rough outside of the bunker, but I have to chip over the bunker to a nearside pin. Bonus jank if the green runs downhill.

I feel essentially incapable of getting the ball close to the pin. I just have to settle for ending up on the far side of the green, 30-50 feet away or whatever. Then I have at least two putts to get it down, so this shot feels super score-inflating.

In a perfect world I wouldn't be in this situation, but I'm not good enough to avoid it.

Ideally I would like to get more loft and just barely plop it on the other side of the bunker and roll to the pin. Is that essentially the ideal play? Any general tips on achieving this?

So today, I felt like I was going to play lights out and started off with a birdie. That’s when it all fell apart until hole 16 where I finally discovered what I was doing that felt so different and proceeded to finish birdie, birdie, birdie…

47 on the front and 40 on the back with a quadruple bogey…

Ever have rounds like that and tips to avoid it?
