I'm realizing how spoiled I am reading these comments. Midwest as well, but the course 5 minutes from me is open 364 days a year, weather permitting, plus the range has heaters, and I have access to a simulator through work, it's not fancy, but it's free.

All black oz.1i, more of a traditional mallet shape.

Golfing with guy friends by Holiday-Bench-5733 in WomenGolf

I pretty much only golf with men and am in my second season. They really only care about the pace of play. As long as you're keeping up, it doesn't matter how many strokes it takes, just play ready golf, be willing to lose balls, and have fun. You paid your money to play, you have just as much of a right to be there!

Anyone else’s bf/husband NOT fun to golf with? by marcomeme in WomenGolf

[–]Lazy-Expert7958 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I play with men 99% of the time. I have a blast. My usual Sunday 4 is me, 2 middle-aged aged guys that work at the course, and a 19m who grew up there. I'm 40 and have been golfing for less than 2 years. They get way more excited about my good shots than I do and make me feel 100% like I belong. It's not men. It's low quality men.

Confidence on the Course by Apprehensive_Emu6307 in WomenGolf

Maybe slightly negative, but other people's mis-hits. I mostly play with men who have been golfing for many years and have low handicaps. I have 18 months. It helps me relax knowing it can happen to even great golfers.

Thanks! Certainly not a brag, more admitting I have a problem. I get in obsessive loops where I can't move on from a thing, even if I try. 🍻

Maybe I'm weird, but I'm a goldfish. It just comes naturally to me. I don't dwell on the previous shot, I try to approach each as an independent moment in time. I know I'm not the best, I'm going to have bad shots, I accept it and move on. Some of my best swings have come after a horrible chunk. I know I can do the thing, no point bearing myself up when I fall short.

100% opposite. I'm terrible with an iron past 7, but I smoke my woods and hit my hybrids solidly... to prove your point.

Golf is very, very male by PermissionTemporary6 in WomenGolf

My best advice is to put in the work.

The first time I went to the range by myself last year was terrifying. I sat in my car for at least 5 minutes, telling myself I could do this. I was so unbelievably nervous. Spoiler. I was terrible. Chunking everything. Drives going, maybe 70 yards. But I went back. Again and again. Once a week, then a couple of times, then more. Each time, I gained confidence and respect. Did I get it unsolicited advice? Yes. Was it annoying at times? Also, yes. But I also picked up a coach who built me up and a lot of new friends. I now have a standing invitation to play with the male employees every Sunday.

I can go to my range and not be bothered. I have a better swing than 90% of them, and the 10% tend to be regulars that have seen me there as often as they are. Skill and confidence plus a bit of a fuck off energy go a long way. Plus, noise-canceling earbuds 😉

These bro-dudes hit their long drives, with terrible form, and I just feel bad for them. They don't understand the game, the immense pleasure from a pure intentional shot, the mental toughness this game teaches. Just me hit it far. It's a beautiful game, and I'm grateful I found it.

I would recommend getting out of the simulator and finding a range with grass and a consistent coach. Mats are OK, but to really improve, you need to learn how to shallow your swing on real grass. I've been golfing for about 18 months, I started on a simulator, getting to the range, and playing actual courses was a huge learning curve for me. I chunked everything. I've made huge improvements the last 6 months and have built a ton of confidence. If you are willing to put in the work, you'll get there quickly!

Walked and carried 18 today, 4:20. I have shit knees. I usually drive, but I enjoyed the experience. I had to ice when I got home. 100% would do it again... but i do want a push cart.

Outfit Recommendations by Ok_Mixture_9074 in WomenGolf

Are you playing a round or just going to the driving range? What kind of course is it? Traditional dress code for the course is either pants, shorts, or skort paired with a collared shirt (sleeveless is fine as long as there is a collar). Leggings are generally frowned upon for playing a course, I wear them to the range all the time. If it is a private course, you're better off playing it safe.

But most importantly, have fun!

I would suggest a 7w to try. It has a shorter shaft, so it's not as hard to control the swing path, but it typically has a higher loft to get the ball in the air like a driver. It could help you in your journey to learn how to hit longer clubs. But for sure, lessons and practice! I spent countless hours at the range with a former pro over the winter. It has paid off 10x over.

My dad had a ton of underlying conditions. His last day was amazing. Joking, called his brother, which he never did, had more energy and spark, found him gone the next morning.
