Hello and welcome in 👋 I’m really glad you decided to join Mark Rippy Golf. Mark is a certified Golf Digest Teaching Professional. It’s nice to meet you! First things first, I want you to know this is a safe place to work on your golf game. You don’t need a perfect swing, you don’t need the right words, and you definitely don’t need to have it all figured out before you post here. One of the biggest things I focus on as a coach is helping golfers learn how to help themselves. That starts by slowing things down, asking better questions, and being willing to look at your swing honestly—without beating yourself up over it. Here’s the first thing I want you to do: 👉 Introduce yourself in a post and tell us one thing you’re currently working on. 👉 If you’re comfortable, upload a swing video (face-on or down-the-line is perfect). 👉 If you’re into golf travel, share your favorite golf destinations. You do not need to explain it perfectly—just show us where you’re at. That’s more than enough to get started. Jump in when you’re ready. I’ll be in here with you, along with a group of my golf students who are working through the same things you are. Glad you’re here. Let’s make some real progress.
