From the blazing hot Panhandle of Florida, LOL
New to the boards and just wanted to jump in an introduce myself.
I've just started this wonderful game at the ripe age of 38. Never picked up a club until a couple months ago. Played about 10-12 rounds and I have managed to get under 100. I know that is pretty lousy, but if you had seen the first couple rounds, you would understand my joy.
It was reading this forum that convinced me to become Launchered, and I love the club! I went from about 260 ,with my old R7 knockoff, to 285-300 on a good swing.
I'm basically getting the fundamentals down now, not trying to rush it. I just got a copy of Hogans book, as it seems to be respected by most golfers I know.
I guess my first question is, what are your suggestions on what I need to concentrate on first? I have the grip pretty well down, but I have a huge slice. I think this is mostly from hitting the ball from the outside in, or across the ball instead of straight on. I am starting to hit the irons fairly consistent, but I still have the occasional top or chili dip.Any suggestions that may help while I'm reading Hogan?
Hope to enjoy some good discussions with you guys, from reading for a month or so, it seems like there are some real nice folks on the board.
