My golf story. TL; DR - I started playing golf 3 years ago. YOU CAN DO IT GUYS. You don't have to suck at golf.
Year 1 -finished year 22.6 HCP
Joined a men's club (sorry no pics) and broke 100 a few times over the course of the first year. Why did I start playing golf? Because my daughter's (sorry no pics) boyfriend is a pro golfer - He's on the Canadian PGA tour right now playing well. Kind of the double-A of golf. So basically I wanted to be able to at least play golf with him.
Year 2 -Finished Year 15.6 HCP
So I built an indoor golf simulator in the garage and watched a shit ton of videos on youtube. I've never had a lesson in my life from a real person. I didn't spend a ton of this. $2000 or so. Using a garmin R10 launch monitor which can be had for about $600.00. Broke 80 for the first time at Allenmore in Tacoma.
Year 3 - currently a 9.1 HCP
I'm in year 3 now. Obsessed with golf. Bought a vacation home down in Arizona on a golf course. Bought a golf cart before I bought a bed for the house. Joined the private club. Play golf every day that I'm down in Arizona and play a couple times per week up in the south sound. Come down to Arizona every 2-3 weeks or so for a week at a time. Mrs. Doogerson (sorry, no pics) is even playing golf now. She has clubs up north and down in Arizona. She's taking lessons. She just broke 50 on 9 holes while pretty much going through heat exhaustion as water is for sissies and multiple vodka crans while playing golf make it much more fun.
Stuff you need to know:
- Learn what an inside-out swing path is. Golf Ball Flight Laws (https://hackmotion.com/golf-ball-flight-laws/)
- How to compress your irons
- Get fitted for a putter, learn how to fucking putt. Practice this a fuck-ton.
- There are lots of ways to chip. Figure out a way that works for you and work on it. Phil Michelson's hinge and hold technique is impossible to master. Don't even try it.
- Learn how to generate enough clubhead speed to get the ball down the fairway 250+ The game is so much easier when you can hit 300 yard drives and 265 with your 3W.
- Fuck hybrids. If you're old like me, go with D, 3W, 5W, 7W, and then 5i-LW. Hybrids are impossible to hit straight I'm convinced.
So yeah, I am living proof if you work hard, you can get good at this game.
Caveats
If you are old and fat like me (sorry, no pics) and are 6' 265lbs, shit will break down. My ailments I've been through plantar fasciitis - bad golf shoes, sports hernia - played through it, what a bitch, golf elbow, and right SI-joint compression in the back. Chiro fixed that one and taught me how to stretch. I hit the shit out of the ball and drive the ball frequently 300 yards. I suppose if you don't swing hard you will not get injured but you will likely suck at golf.

Butt, seriously, your story inspired me to try and get good at golf in my early 60's when all of the kids are grown and out of the house and my wallet has recovered from feeding them.

Careful, Yella. I may just move into that 250 sq ft tiny home I checked out in Madras and be within striking distance of your hi-fi gear.

Anyone remember on doogman the handle @plushandicap (or something)? And then fleenor freaking out and claiming that guy wasn’t actually a plus handicap. And thus Fleenor was still the best golfer on the site.

Proud of the progress that he's made and feel like he's gradually getting to the point where he needs a full bag
Pisser's home course is mighty difficult if you don't regularly play it ... you can get in some bad spots and it makes you look stupid quickly
The way I'm playing right now I feel like I could actually shoot a good number there in relation to my handicap -

We had a great, great time. Often it felt like we had the course to ourselves. The greens were fucking brutal.
I’m right on this one. Take as much tim as you need.
Also, me and my 100+ scorecard are in for the 2nd annual tourney.
Golf is a hand / eye coordination sport. You can be fat and smoke cigs doing it and still be elite.
Row boat is VO2 max / brute power sport with some repetitive motion involved and “feel” for the boat.
Baseball players make better golfers than row Peter puffers. -
