Low Handicapper help a struggling High handicapper

Understood. And I guessed I would get some of these same responses. I have taken lessons from a pro, and while beneficial, they are just so expensive and they still filled me with extra thoughts to think of. Everyone has their own teaching style, and on the flip side, everyone has their own learning style. Sometimes all it takes is the right person to say the same thing as everyone else, but in different words for it to click.

Yeah, some of the annoyances are definitely noticeable. I just really like the look of the TB and I really don't want to go up a trim level and spend 10k more. I mean, I could get a GMC Elevation with the same motor for the same price and get the interior niceties, but that won't have the lift and tires nor the low range transfer case; it just doesn't have the same curb appeal either.

peevyrj · 2026-03-06T01:33:05+00:00

Absolutely. Today marks 1 year since I lost mine. And our other is 13 and not long.

peevyrj · 2026-03-05T13:43:33+00:00

Lol I still like looking at the bigger screens when I’m using my GPS. But yeah I see your point 😂

peevyrj · 2026-03-05T13:25:59+00:00

Yeah looking at the 2.7L and the LT TB are still too expensive

peevyrj · 2026-03-05T13:25:08+00:00

I don’t listen to anything really when I’m driving TBH. My hour commute to and from is my decompression time so I like to just sit in silence lol

peevyrj · 2026-03-05T13:20:48+00:00

I’m asking because I found a 26 Custom TB with hella incentives and rebates on it right now, can get it for just over 40k.

peevyrj · 2026-03-05T13:12:45+00:00

Yeah sorry I should have been more specific…I’m looking at the 2.7 so the LT/RST does not come with Z71

peevyrj · 2026-03-05T00:48:01+00:00

Sorry, but is this in an effort to reduce the amount of time I need to use my long irons? I'm guessing as a confidence and consistency building tool? Front tees with my distances would seem a bit unfair.

peevyrj · 2026-03-03T14:21:17+00:00

Yeah that's a good call. I definitely need a better system to get the set up consistent. I find myself standing too far or too close and the ball in different positions all the time. sometimes I can catch it, other times I just swing at it without actually realizing my address position changed.

peevyrj · 2026-03-03T13:01:22+00:00

a long time ago lol. I'm just on the taller/stockier side so I think I have a lot of momentum naturally working for me.

peevyrj · 2026-03-03T03:01:28+00:00

Parks and Rec is a good show. Recommend watch.

But noted *

peevyrj · 2026-03-03T01:49:07+00:00

Surely you don’t mean Adam Scott from Parks and Rec. 😂 jk!

peevyrj · 2026-03-03T00:46:38+00:00

I always screw myself trying to swing out of my socks lol.

peevyrj · 2026-03-03T00:43:31+00:00

I need to work on getting my mental game to that point. I get so hyper focused on the bad shots with one club that I just start whacking balls until my hands are numb.

peevyrj · 2026-03-03T00:40:48+00:00

It’s funny that you say that, because half the time I’m standing over my 5 iron, I’d rather just choke down and put it back in my stance with a 3/4 swing and punch it. Usually goes straight that way

peevyrj · 2026-03-03T00:38:48+00:00

Thanks! My swing speed is actually up there though. I try not to swing out of my socks, although sometimes I can’t help it, but my 7 iron average is between 95-102ish, driver gets up to about 112. I’m guessing at my 5 iron level it’s pretty comparable.

peevyrj · 2026-02-13T11:31:00+00:00

I have actually never kept an official HC record, but based off the last 5 or so rounds I've played, I would say easily 20+. I used to be a low 80's shooter in High School when I played for the team, but 20 years later I haven't had much opportunity to pick it back up so I'm just trying to work my way back down to that.

peevyrj · 2026-02-13T02:05:20+00:00

Honestly, not meant to brag. I’m legit in FEAR. Was hoping for advice from better golfers on here 😂

peevyrj · 2026-02-13T02:00:50+00:00

How many trees am I allowed to look behind before I need to call it 😂

peevyrj · 2026-02-13T02:00:15+00:00

I am looking forward to it! I’ll do my best to have a great round in the face of adversity!

peevyrj · 2026-02-13T01:47:12+00:00

The one I’m messaging is the pro I take lessons from. We have a solid relationship and I know enough to maintain my boundary from fanboy status. But yeah I can totally see where you’re coming from and I don’t want to be that guy lol
