If I had a time machine & went back to when I first started what would I tell myself ?
Ditch the hybrid & get 3 wedges
Learn the punch shot
Play as many tourneys as possible to build up credit bank for purchasing better clubs (or get an android emulator for double credit offers)
Learn all the shots to ensure a good all round game before advancing through the tiers
Join The Founders Club (or any other good cc) to help improve your game a lot quicker & have some great fun doing it
Map your club & ball combo
Have fun as after all is said & done it's just a game.
