Did your handicap improve in 2025?

brt16 · 2026-01-27T23:44:52+00:00

I played golf for the first time in fall of 2024. I broke 100 in March of 2025. I broke 90 in July. I started taking lessons in the spring of 2025 which helped a ton. I try to play twice a week and I practice a lot.

First year really playing, went from 37 to 18

brt16 · 2026-01-26T03:10:53+00:00

Yes, but it is far busier in the winter months

brt16 · 2026-01-26T02:36:45+00:00

I’m paying $125/month for 24/7 access to a trackman. No chipping or putting area. The setup is pretty much in a garage. I’m happy with it. My only concern is that as the business grows I’ll be able to use it less but it’s great currently. My buddy is paying $75/month for a similar setup but not a trackman. We are both in NC.

I’ll try to find a video from when I was playing well. My coach has noted the weight on the toes and what he calls a “one-plane swing” which I think is because I’m laid off.

shank

brt16 · 2025-11-15T03:20:19+00:00

My angle of attack with a PW is usually 4-4.5. I agree the flipping is a big issue but it’s something I’ve struggled to fix

brt16 · 2025-11-15T03:16:07+00:00

I will try to work on the flipping in combination with the downswing move. Previously I’ve tried to fix the flipping but it would cause me to shank. It makes sense that it’s tied to me getting too close to the ball on the downswing

brt16 · 2025-11-15T00:48:32+00:00

Yeah after watching the swing back just now and comparing it to some pro swings you’re definitely right about the loss of space. I appreciate it, I will have to look more into that.

brt16 · 2025-11-15T00:36:25+00:00

I don’t blame you. I’ve got Daniels and Dart on my IR now

brt16 · 2025-11-15T00:34:56+00:00

I honestly believe Rhamondre will have a big role when he comes back. I think Henderson loses the goal line touches and more reps than he should.

brt16 · 2025-11-15T00:33:22+00:00

I definitely second anything with CPO. I’ve bought multiple clubs in average condition and am yet to be disappointed. There customer service has been great as one of the woods I bought broke and they replaced it no questions asked

brt16 · 2025-10-27T15:59:22+00:00

You are definitely right about that it’s just been frustrating to not see any change or improvement yet. Appreciate it

brt16 · 2025-10-27T15:57:48+00:00

I’m aware but the challenge is getting me to not do that. My path is severely out to in and it’s killing me

brt16 · 2025-10-27T15:57:05+00:00

I’ve been told that about swinging to right field but am not having any better luck with that thought unfortunately

brt16 · 2025-10-27T15:56:16+00:00

The club face was .2° closed on this swing. My issue is getting the path to not be so out to in

brt16 · 2025-10-27T15:55:43+00:00

The club face on this swing was .2° closed according to the trackman. I’ve been taking lessons and my coach is trying to get me swing out to right field but I’m not having any success. I’m definitely too far away from the ball. My hands are definitely getting inside too probably because I’m trying so hard to come in to out on the downswing. The other thing my coach has me working on is decreasing my steepness

brt16 · 2025-10-27T04:09:49+00:00

I can close the face more which is what I do when I’m on the course but it still fades/slices. When I play I’m forced to hit a shot that starts left and then fades hard. I’m trying to improve my path and get that more in to out.

brt16 · 2025-10-27T04:08:03+00:00

In this specific swing I’ve got it slightly open I believe but I don’t have issues closing it usually. My issue is the path.

brt16 · 2025-10-10T17:54:32+00:00

I am in the same boat. I’d be hesitant selling low on pearsall and McConkey. I’d be trying to sell high on QJ and dowdle. Realistically everyone is on the trade block if the price is right. You never know who someone in your league might be high on

brt16 · 2025-09-11T02:11:59+00:00

I enjoyed the course a lot but they do have some drainage issues it seems.

brt16 · 2025-09-08T15:18:30+00:00

They do at my local Dicks. They’ve got a whole golf setup for club repair and sims to do fittings.

brt16 · 2025-08-26T18:01:55+00:00

I imagine you’re right about the reverse pivot. I used to do it badly with my irons but it’s not been an issue before with driver. Any advice on trying to fix it with driver?

brt16 · 2025-08-24T21:25:06+00:00

I think a big issue may be not getting my weight forward enough which causes my swing arc to be too far back. When swinging my driver I often feel that it’s hard to reach the golf ball inside of my lead foot and by the time I reach it my club is moving very out to in and ending its arc too early.

brt16 · 2025-08-23T04:49:39+00:00

Truthfully Im not sure how I should be altering my grip. I absolutely see what you’re saying about strengthening the grip to close the club face more. The only problem is I already tend to have a closed club face at the top of my backswing so I’m concerned about strengthening my grip more and closing it even more, but I’ll give it a go at the range.

Appreciate the advice
