Kissmyputt1:I'm new to this and would like to join a club. Since I've not yet done so in real life, I'm not sure exactly what to expect or to do. Please advise. I tried to join 3 other clubs but am not entirely sure that I went about it the proper way, as I never heard back either way from any of them?!
I'm glad you finally decided to post here because joining a country club (cc) is a very good move for new players because it allows you to make friends easily, and friends can give you advice you need to know. Friends also add a big 'fun' dimension to the game. It's easy to join most cc's just by requesting membership on their page, which you'll find a listing of under "WGT Community", "Country Clubs". Most clubs are looking for new members because the more the merrier! The club I belong to is constantly having tournaments of all kinds including inter-club matches and many free and small amount for credit matches, and has an active forum for discussions among members. It's name is Masters and Disasters, easily looked up under the Community link above, and a link is given to request membership.
I can see from your profile page that you really want to be good at this game, so I'll give you my best advice: after joining a club, if not sooner, ditch the level 8 3wood and the ez-swing hybrid, neither of which will do anything but cause you problems, and replace them and your starter wedge with a set of Ping Tour wedges(52, 60 and 64) for 200 credits each, and your game will improve tremendously and quickly. Don't be afraid of the fast meter speeds, you'll soon get used to them. All the wedges have fast meter speeds except the new ATV's which are good, but spendy!
Now get out their and hit 'em straight and make some friends!
