Id be over the moon with results like that.
My typical results off the tee are-
30% complete shank that goes 30m in the air (hit a bird in flight once with one)
50% massive slice that goes who knows where
20% absolutely crushed straight down the middle

Fyi the first ball i hit off the tee got lost in the bushes das it



See bushes are bad.. balls only get lost in them

I dont blame you its bloody hard.

Like i said am gonna look into getting a few proper lessons and practising

If you are serious, the first thing you should do is see a decent pro and get fitted out for a set of clubs. Its no dearer.

Most flogs just go to a golf shop and buy or get sold a brand that is giving the shop is giving the shop the most love. A decent pro will work out club lengths, grips, club pitch to suit your style

And yes, get some lessons before you develop bad habits

Where i live there are 3 golf courses within 5kms of me.

Went to play a round a few years back with a mate.

Couldn't play on weekends.

Weekday only Memberships well over $1k

Walked out. Didnt wanna know what the weekend memberships were

Drove to a public course near airport for a hack. Had a LOT more fun at drivimg range

 

[peternorth]

Where did you play pn?

Did you like the course? I played there recently, found the back 9 were more enjoyable than the front. Got a par on the 18th which I was stoked with

I've heard this.

I liked it I guess- got nothing to compare it to, as was the first gc ive ever set foot on.

Did the first seven holes, until we had to leave to go to a BBQ.

Missed out on the 19th hole too

When you walk into a room and suddenly can't remember what you were doing it's because you stumbled across an alien in there and they had to wipe your memory.

I wish i had a golf cart instead of a car

So should you get lessons before you get fitted for clubs? Could they size clubs based on your bad habits?

Kyle are you kidding me- Bob Hope could jump this thing in a golf cart!

 

[Shell]

FWIW my bad habit is not keeping my head down.


Funnily enough...


I'll look into it say next school holidays in April. I've been spending so much money lately (house stuff) golf lessons will have to be the last priority. So maybe a bit later on..

Talk to the pro, its their job to size you for clubs. They'll probably give a lesson and size you for clubs the same day. You'll probably only use a 7 iron on the first couple of lessons. Clubs should only take 1-2 weeks to arrive.

Doubt they'd size you for clubs based on your bad habits

Go 1 on 1. Don't do the group thing

I will accept no one less than Tiger Woods as my teacher.

Agree with the saltier version of me. Best thing IMO is to speak to a pro first. Coincide that with a lesson because he/she will help you based on your goals/frequency/$$ etc. Social play only? Great, let's look at that.

Sizing clubs is based on your body size, height, arm length.

A pro will also help determine more specific aspects such as launch angle, lie of the club, shaft etc. That influences the clubs to be fitted.

FWIW my bad habit is not keeping my head down.

Head is one factor important. Although Im guessing when it comes to getting it (ball) up its not your head that's influencing, rather your whole body. Like many things in life, technique in association with using your body accentuates what we believe to be bad, not just head

People who respond to an email in the subject part where the title is meat to go. Or type an entire email there.

A couple of people at my work do this. Seriously, what excuse is there in 2019, especially if you work on a computer, to not know how to use an email properly?

Yeah there's someone at work who does this too. They also type all emails in capitals
I'm a fan of informative titles, but having an entire email in the title is worse than having no title.

Well what I meant is would lessons change the way you swing and play and thus your club sizing? So if you get clubs fitted and get lessons and change your swing could your requirements change and the clubs be a waste of money?

Whilst paying attention to the shaft is important, it can't be done at the expense of ignoring the balls.
