😃 the transition is really difficult because you're handsy in tennis. in golf, you use your big muscles...

Wow, single handicapper. Congrats sir! I've been playing much longer than you but i'm still way too far from your handicap. I guess after all the long uears of playing, i've never been serious in the game, as in laro na nilalaro pa. I keep on experimenting shots/swings clubs and what ever i can think of and never go to driving range to practice, fairway is where i practice kaya always an experiment. I love the game, i love going places just for the game and the perks that goes along with the game.

Tried it before with my father in law. I went back to tennis the next day.

Baliktad tayo sir, i used to play tennis before i switch to golf. The problem with tennis for me, dapat ka-match ko lagi kalaro. Pag bano, mabwibwisit ka lang, pag magaling naman, nakakapagod. Sa bwisit ko, i broke 3 graphite rackets then after which i immediately bought 4 brand new only to hang them up in lieu of golf.

Sayang! Akin na lang...

When I tried golf medyo nakukuha ko na yung tamang swing, yung power from the legs to the hips then to the arms.
That was when I realized na di biro mag golf nakakatakot din pala at pwede ka talaga ma-injured. When the time comes siguro I'll give it a shot again.

kailangan seryosohin...hehehehe.
actually, ganyan ako nung naguumpisa ako.... i flood my mind with theories, with techniques... lalong gumugulo.
what i did is to apply my own, kung saan ako comfortable....
like for example, the tendency at the tee is to hit it as hard as you can for distance, but i do the opposite, i hit my shots on a relaxed mode but with closed clubface (ala ernie els style)..... while most of my colleagues hit at around 230 yards at the drive, i only hit around 210 yards using the driver.... however, my strongest part of the game would be my short game (100 yards and below).... na perfect ko na yung accuracy using the wedges (kaya nga may lob wedge ako eh....) so that the ball should lie within 8 feet or less.

my rule in using clubs? no rules.....hehehehehe..... depende sa course.... i dont always use the woods to tee off.... sometimes, i use a 2 iron, a 3 iron, or even a hybrid..... basta ang important sa akin is yung preparation for the next shots.....

i agree. if you don't take it seriously, you'll miss the fun, but if you take too seriously, it will break your heart too.
i could hit my driver before at 250 to 270 yards, but not now. Maybe 230 yards at most. i still can hit my 7 iron around 150 though. I hate the short game. I'm in crisis if mga 50 to 80 yards na lang left to the pin. my pro was a former local tour player. his principle is to have a sound swing mechanics, kahit na di mo tatamaan yung bola sa umpisa kailangan maporma swing- from the takeaway to the back swing then start the swing from the ground up. pero mahirap talaga. it's more mental than physical I think.

mas hard hitter ka bro.... hehehehe.... my max 7 iron is 140 yards.
my pro is carito villaroman.... a churchmate too. he does not focus on the porma, but focuses more on course management and accuracy.

I go to Kagitingan or Villamor driving range as both are near my office. I might drop by Las Pinas range one of these days and chance upon you, bro. What I need now is more practice. I used to play a lot but the past year, my work schedule has not been friendly to my golf hubby.

First time in my playing golf, made an eagle from 89 yards. 5 holes later, followed it up by a birdie from 88 yards last Saturday. Bought lotto tickets after, baka patuloy ang swerte, naubos na pala sa golf pa lang.
