Popular Post PapaGoose8 Posted March 18 Popular Post Share Posted March 18 (edited) Hello golf friends! My name is Greg and I'm new to the forums, though not new to MGS. I live in Northern VA surrounded by some very nice courses that I am lucky to play 3-4 times a month. I've been play casually for close to 20ish years, but this past winter I decided to really dedicate time to improving now that I work from home and do not travel for work any more. Finally got properly fitted for my driver and it has been a game changer so far.. irons are next on the list. I'm excited to be here and to learn as much as I can to improve my game.

Coulter Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I decided the same thing this winter.. started taking lessons on the Skillest app and shot the best 9 holes of my life. Unfortunately every single other round of golf has been a pretty big step back. It’s a bit discouraging to be honest but I haven’t had the chance to practice the last couple of weeks since my last lesson( I have played multiple times so I guess really I did have time to practice just didn’t utilize it) so that is probably the biggest reason why but hopefully you aren’t going through the same thing! PapaGoose8 and TJ Hall 2 Quote I have a cobra rad speed driver, cobra fly z 3 and 5 wood, taylormade m1 irons (5-PW), Top Flite Gamer wedges (52,56,60), and odyssey white ice putter. When I’m playing to keep score I typically play the Maxfli Tour X. When just getting a round in with friends or scrambling I play whatever I might find on the course or might find at the bottom of my bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
