Neillindley:i have been playing for a few months now, looking for support and help on best equipment to buy, clubs to join and any support in bettering my game.
also what tournaments I should be looking to play
1) Ask the fellows in the CC you have chosen.
2) Try to get out of the "slow meter" trap - instead of that "7 meter" ball, try something like the Callaway ERC Soft Balls (Slow Meter) - only 3.5 meter.
3) Invest in two short wedges (50/75 or 60/80 yds) to replace the Starter wedges.
4) Be incredulous about the automatic shot proposal - it's wrong in about 80% of shots, in 95% of cases you can do better on the green!
5) Play 9 hole rounds or tournaments, play through all courses, and play them to the end.
Good scores are more likely in less holes, and you'll raise experience and skills on all holes.
