I have never played a pro level golf ball before so was a little hesitant about teeing one up. My son had these on his Christmas list so I picked up a dozen each for me and him. My game has gotten to the low 80s so I'm not really worried anymore about blowing through a pack of balls in one round. My goodness is this ball amazing. My distance didn't suffer at all but the spin I was able to generate was next level. I've never had to play past a poj before but had to with this ball.

I do want to clarify that I understand that being this new to golf, it probably doesn't matter what ball I use because I am not consistent enough but my philosophy is that when I do hit that perfect drive/chip I would prefer the ball I am using makes it the best possible outcome. I am also aware that it heavily depends on what type of golfer you are and what type of feel you are looking for. I get tons of balls for free from a friend who lives on a golf course and doesn't golf and I just don't even know where to start in ranking them. Basically I was thinking of a ranking system of like 1-5:\n\n1. First tier ball would be the type you would use when you are playing a round for money and want the best possible outcome\n2. Second tier would still be very good balls but just a tad below the first tier. Maybe you pull one out if your having a worse than average day and you have a par 3 with water in front of you\n3.

Nicklaus during the 1970s played all 40 Majors contested and he finished in the top-10 in 35 of them.

As I have learned to really focus on alignment, I have observed that almost no one that I play with is aimed well. I observe that most people aim well off their target, and often hit a solid shot with minimal curve, 70 yards off target, because they were aimed that poorly. Develop aim and alignment as the central part of your pre-shot routine.\n\n2. Trust your shape and real distances. If you fade (or slice) 80% of the time, pick a target that is ok if you hit straight (20%) and good if you hit your fade (80%).

Gotterup is 25 and still building his resume. The model respects him but doesn't trust him yet.

This is more for TV so they can say Team Thomas or Team Garcia, whatever. Each team is also allowed a non-playing vice-captain. The idea behind this is that tournament will allow the non-playing vice-captain to relay information to his team throughout the tournament.\n\nThe field will consist of 32 teams (160 golfers, slightly above the average of 156 golfers in a regular tournament from what I could find). The tournament will be four days so it fits into the PGA Tour schedule nicely. On Thursday and Friday (Day 1 and 2), each member of the team will play stroke play and their own ball. Team scores will get added together for the Team Leaderboard.

Came across [this](https://golfingisbest.com/best-golf-balls-for-slow-swing-speed/) article suggesting a few golf balls for the same. Just wanted feedback from the community, about which one they would recommend. Currently using Callaway Supersoft. Also, what's your take on Wilson Duos?

This expands on a thread I made the other day and I hope we can get some quality discussion because it can’t hurt. \n\nI’ve swung clubs off and on since I was a kid but never regular. Used to go with my grandfather while he would play, but I didn’t get to play. I still enjoyed the outings with him. \n\nWhen he would take me to the range he would of course not be able to sit and coach me the whole time, just the odd pointers here and there. I built some bad habits. Never really touched clubs other than these few times. \n\nFast forward to me being and adult and on my own. Some friends took up golf and I joined in with them. I only did it for about 6 months and never took lessons. I had to quit because it was so time consuming and I had little children. Plus the expense was eating away at me. I was basically dog shit. 105-115 all the time. A lucky strike here and there to give me elation but it was all for nothing the next shot. \n\nKids are now mostly grown and I have more income and time so I decided to take it back up. I need to stay more active in middle age. \n\nI scour YT for a year before picking a club back up seriously. Consuming all kinds of content.

With your feet open then use a club or alignment stick to align your shoulders to the target.  Hit about ten balls at a time and incrementally work your way to a square stance.
