  1. Equipment Check-Up at KH

    Hey all, Anyone ever done the equipment check at Keven Haime's? I am just looking to get an overall assessment of my equipment and what not and this looked like it would be a good all round review. http://kevinhaime.com/shoponline/search.asp?cid=6&sid=18 Thoughts?

  2. Idea on when to get a coach

    I just start golf the summer and would like to improve my skills. Just for fun and not as pro. I've been going to the driving range like once a week.

  6. My Swing - I'm Self Taught - Driver & 6i

    My swing with a driver and a 6 iron. I've included slow motion on each shot from both angles. My typical shot is a fade with 6i to my driver, I play a straight ball with my 7i-60*. A bad shot is usually a pull or I hit it fat. I usually pull it if I can't miss right. What do you think?
