Another issue I think is that I need to get extended irons. At 6'1" most irons feel too short, could be my gut in the way though haha. I'm gonna PM you my contact info so we can schedule something. I live and work in the SB and schedule is M-F 6am-3pm.
I think I'm going to start a NC Golf thread if we get enough interest. Seriously I am a beginner, think of me like Billy Madison.  |
At 6'1", most clubs should be "normal". As a beginner, you need to adjust to the clubs because it's much easier than adjusting the clubs (customs) to you. Besides, a beginner will have 100+ swings before they find the one that works. Most people I knew/know at that height (and taller) have achieved low handicaps with standard clubs. Anything custom may actually hurt your starting game because a custom set is for someone who has typically developed their own swing plane and a swing speed.
Slice: google how to 'fix' it. Otherwise, you can try turning over/close your grip. Smooth and even rotation thru a swing plane is key.
Shortgame: dedicate a day(s) with just the short clubs. Leave the long irons at home, seriously. Having a driver and long irons is extremely hard to ignore especially when the guy next to you is hitting long bombs. Play a short 9-hole with just the short irons. Challenging yet very rewarding.
Confidence: practice!!! Play as many 9-holes as you can get. Don't even count your score to speed things up. If you feel you played a nice 9-hole, your score will reflect it as well. Counting the score or not.
