I’d wait to get fitted for clubs until the spring. You should start with lessons so the instructor can give you drills to fix some common mistakes in your swing. Then it just takes practice. Once you feel you’re hitting the ball decent, then you can fitted for some basic clubs. All in maybe $1600-$1800 for an entire bag (putter through driver)

Definitely agree with this^^ I’d get a used set of irons for less than $600 and then a used driver/wedges separate from that. If you wanted to get something new right away you could splurge on the putter because getting better at your full swing won’t change your putting stroke. Then if you get the itch later down the line once you’ve had some lessons and gotten some rounds/practice on the range in, you can sell your first set and ball out for a club fitting. eBay and 2nd swing are great for used clubs if you know your approximate needs based on your height

Off season. Any other suggestions on how to get started? I also need to get some clubs and gear. Any thoughts on how much to spend to fit in (I don’t need to be the most outfitted, just want to be in the neighborhood of style)

Do not get fitted right now

Taking some golf lessons, got a women’s starter set I got to make sure I liked golf first. Instructor mentioned that the driver is like swinging a wet noodle for me lol and I should look into a men’s or one with stiffer flex. I have no idea what to look for. Are the people at Dicks Sporting Goods knowledgeable or worth driving the 40 min to PGA store?

High school special class (self-contained) teachers: What do you use for planning? I’ve always been an inclusive teacher, so I followed the plan book of my co-teacher. I can’t even decide if I should go digital or paper-based let alone make a final decision! I’ll be teaching 9-11th grade math and 11th grade science. The 11th grade classes I can very much do whatever I (or the student) want/need…there isn’t a set curriculum

Today, I showed a TED Talk about the Guatemalan genocide. We were discussing the role of forensic anthropologists. It made such an impact on my students.

I tied their plight to my mom’s post-WWII and asked them why she was welcomed by our current immigrants are not. It was so powerful. One of my LatinoX students told me thank you for today’s lesson.

Hey fellow Disney Lovers,

I generally have a few lessons in which I can use Pixar shorts to teach students how to identify and discuss literary signposts, how to identify and explain the development of theme, character traits, and other narrative elements. What are some of your favorite shorts? I am trying to incorporate activities where my students get to choose their own clips for independent practice with these skills and need a variety to draw from.

I want to read Esperanza Rising to 5th grade mayb 4th. I might use the theme Equality not sure, but do you have resources, lessons, idea, etc? We do not service a large population of immigrants, but thought our kids could use a lesson about another perspective.
