  • Participated in My First Tournament

    Hello All,

    I have been golfing for about 8 years now. Just last week, I applied for a GHIN so that I could enter a tournament and well... I paid my $55 and entered the Open at a local club here in Omaha. I would have liked to have done better. I shot a 103 on day one and a 100 on day two.

    I normally shoot in the high 80's/low 90's. Good news is that I put my 5 buck in on the two days of the event for the side Skins play. I won two skins and got back $50. All was not lost.

    My tee shots were all over the place except for the fairway. I hit a total of 7 fairways the entire weekend. That seems to be the standard for me lately. I joined this forum to get a few tips on how to improve my game specifically with the driver and other tee shots. I am slicing everything pretty bad. When I try to compensate I hook it pretty badly. I look forward to the information I can get from this site. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Rob and welcome.

    The first club comp is always a slightly stressful event and it is difficult to play well. Keep at it though and things will get better.

    Maybe you should give your driver a rest for now and make use of your 3 wood or longer hybrid off the tee, this may keep you more in the fairway with some reasonable distance. You can come back to the driver later when you are a little more confident.
