I had no idea my first weekend at the heritage golf course would have sparked this lust for the sport.
I figured I would just enjoy the views and kangaroos around the grounds, which I did, but those golf carts looked mighty inviting.
later that week I felt my body longing to be out in the fresh air walking around the course again.
With the assistance of a golf sponsor ( findom sub that thoroughly enjoys spending money on me) I invested in the appropriate shoes and of course got myself a little pair of skorts to play in.
Going to the driving range for the first time was so exciting, the guy at the desk wished me good luck, told me how to place my hands and keep my head down and off I went.
He was so surprised I was hitting the balls, obviously not too far - I started with a 5 or 6 iron and was hitting them about 50-75metres which felt pretty good for my first swings.
Soon each time I visited the range the guys would encourage me and tell me I was doing great which was just so wonderful especially after I picked up a half set of used ladies clubs - they were much shorter than I was used to practicing with so it was a bit of an adjustment but their tips really helped me master them.
I said I want to go further, but they said it's more about a straight game than a long drive. so I've been working keeping my swing hitting up the center.
I used to love playing softball & pool, so I felt like golf combines them both, with need for an accurate swing, strategy to get around the course & plenty of geometry to get the ball into its little hole.
Combining both skills I already had made it easy for me to take to the sport so fast, I think.
Played a few different courses, but have a few more kangaroo saturated ones I have on my dream game list. Heritage course is absolutely beautiful to walk but to play I'm told its quite the challenge and to expect to lose a few balls lol
Recommended to try the Morack driving range, because they have trackman technology and oh my god it was so much fun. Perfect for swing feedback.
using two different drivers - a ladies and a longer mens one I was getting a very similar distance.
Now I'm hitting over 100m which doesn't feel like the improvement I want but I am after distance and straightness, so a lot more room for improvement, which just means I need more practice and that makes me really happy.
Practice is fun, tweaking my swing, learning what works.
I am just so excited to get a golf fitting done and invest in a nice big driver. Even though I am visually attracted to all the pink clubs - they're quite flexi and I think I prefer a stiffer shaft (smirk) to play with.
a lady I met during a game had the prettiest white taylor made driver... it was gorgeous.
I hope to be able to spend much of spring and summer on the course, its fast becoming one of my favorite places to be.
