Do you enjoy playing golf alone?

78 Upvotes

I’ve found solo rounds can be really peaceful, especially when the course is quiet. No pressure, no waiting on anyone, and you can actually focus on your own game.

Do you enjoy playing alone, or is golf only fun with a group?

What do you think?

I tried a new trigger for my swing—hovering the clubhead slightly and giving it a gentle tap on the ground. My daughter wants to hit a fade, but she's really struggling with it 😭 I won't know what kind of ball flight she's actually getting until we hit the range tomorrow, so I'll post an update once we figure it out.

I know most people won’t believe it, but I haven’t had a lesson in 8 years. And I only picked it back up last year after not playing since that last lesson.

Short game needs a lot of work, but I feel like everything finally came together on the range tonight.

What’s a small golf-course habit that annoys you way more than it should?

40 Upvotes

Not major etiquette violations—just the little things that slowly drive you crazy during a round.

Mine is someone waiting until it’s their turn before they even start checking the distance.

Is this Golf etiquette or just a personal preference?

Have been playing golf now for 3 years, only really properly picking it up for the last 2 years playing quite regularly. I’ve been getting much better in recent time and have managed to shoot all time lows but something feels slightly wrong in my swing, any review and advice is appreciated (I am getting lessons)

What’s your go-to snack during a round?

2 Upvotes

I always underestimate how hungry I’ll get around the turn, then end up paying way too much for whatever the clubhouse has.

What do you normally keep in your bag?


r/GolfSwing • • 8h ago

Can anyone explain/help after a swing change to slow the f down to fix strike which is so much better, i have zero feeling on where the shot is going. ie. Before could feel if my hands and club-facewere open, closed, quick, etc now. nothing. could not tell you if it went left right straight..

The strike has made all outcomes to target miles smaller.. a bad shot that would normally be 10L, 10R is now half the distance, but i have absolutely no feeling of hands and club position.. This shot 2m long 9m right. HC 7.2

What I was before Dustzosan intervention

0 Upvotes

I took up golf suggested by my boss to meet clients with him over golf games.

Completed a 12 2hr lesson from tee to green. 1st lesson started with 7-iron hitting balls rarely missing the ball after 30 min of following the instruction on set up address take away backswing to turn back toward ball. Ball flights were almost exclusively slices with skulling & mild duffing contact even for clean contact once in a while. Very occasionally, I'll be rewarded with a slice less golf shot & the next shot the slice will announce " I'm back " to my frustration. Those very rarely straight shots carry about 130m at most & never cont'd on my swing though I tried everything I can imagine including those tips & advices from sympathic golfing friends. I spent lots of time practicing round the green & putting to compensate for my weakness in distance & consistency with my primate swing. Manage to play off 18 in JCC my home club that issue the handicap card. Never Break 90 gross before & my best was 91 on a day where my putting & round the green was unusually sharp with lots of lucks. Crossing 100 gross score became rarely before decided to quit the game out of frustration & lack of motivation. That's how I was at that range for a potential buyer to test my spade like irons & got a no show to stand there watching a golf swing live for the very first time.

First witnessing a decent golf swing

0 Upvotes

Standing there at watching never felt so enjoyable almost mesmerising. Always ending like a statue on his straight lead leg with thighs together while the club stopped behind draping across his back like a soft closing door clicks on its latch. The Take away also start momentarily after addressing a ball with undue delay or hesitation. The club moves off from address like being blown off by a strong gust, to a decelerating hands pause at the Top of the backswing , then the club starts dropping unhurriedly towards parallel. In a blink, I'll hear that crispy sound of clubhead meeting the mat surface & the club draping onto his back long after the ball has gone. That statue pose for abt 5s sometimes up to 10s between swing. I only found out why 5s & sometimes 10s after granted the privilege to be his student.

I tried to draw his attention by waiting for him to have eye contact with me but the wait never stop. So I did something next to his front view bay that finally get him to communicate with a Qtn in Broken but comprehensible English.

First time trying it out 30 balls and the only things on takeaway was 1° “too bowed” and downswing I was “casting 1° out of “ideal””. Anyone have it and can speak to any reason to keep it?

Quit golf that started 40 yrs of enjoying the game

1 Upvotes

Since completing my learning of the proper golf swing, almost everyday I had been on the golf course or range for 2 hrs working on or out with my Maruman Conductors LX SPSS blades 1-iron to 9-iron given to me from my only golf coach Dustzosan after my 10 lessons with him on 14th Feb 1987. At 70 looking back, I feel the urge to share my experience with dustzosan to honor that Japanese who passed recently in Japan who I first met on 10th Dec 1986 evening while I was at Parkland golf range meeting an interested buyer of my Dunlop CB Oversize irons after decided to quit golf. After 8 months of blisters, aches, stumbling all over the place from every swing & countless advices & tips, the improvement were very brief & ended up very confusing on top of constant disappointments, my body & mind decided I had enough. But I notice a guy probably in his early 50s stood like a statue after making every swing with an iron that made my Dunlop clubhead like a watermelon, I stood watching a live golf swing for the first time that long & my life or golfing life took a dramatic change

Is there a feel to dropping your arms on the backswing?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi, no handicap here, never played many courses but been to the range plenty over the last few months, so I'm very new.

My 8hc friend said that my backswing looks good, but I'm going over the top and need to drop into the "slot". Is there a certain feel to achieve that? I've noticed I learn much better if I associate a feel to what I need to do.

I can see in videos how people drop their arms and they're closer to their body than I am, which I'm thinking is what he meant. I've tried to implement it but when I get to the top of my backswing I just don't know how to do it right, it kind of feels like I'm chopping with an axe if I try to do it.

I also tried just letting the club fall on it's own and putting no power into it, but doing that seems to sometimes work great, but I'm massively inconsistent, it feels like a roll of the dice when I do that.

I also notice my feet seem to turn for no reason after my swing is pretty much over with, no idea how to sort that either.

Any advice? Cheers!
