Greetings to all! My name is Alan and I am the Community Director for The Sand Trap. I've played golf for about 30 years and enjoy reading about golf history and instruction. When I do the chance to get out (which is rare lately with two kiddos under four), you can usually find me at Elk River Golf Club .

As the Community Director, I'll be working on a variety of ways to promote the site, which includes bringing attention to interesting threads, promoting contests, and providing support to our supporters and sponsors. I've learned a lot about golf and made some great friends while being a member and staff writer at The Sand Trap and it's my hope that the time you spend here is worth it, whether it's reading one of the many reviews, having a friendly debate about all things golf, or maybe meeting up with some fellow forum members and new friends and enjoying a round at your favorite course.

I'd like to be the first to publicly welcome Alan in this new role with the site.

Alan is a great guy, a great friend, and a not-so-great golfer. He'll be an asset to the site and, more importantly, to you (the members). He'll be instrumental in helping to set up contests, to shed light on new features, to make sure everyone's using everything this site has to offer, and to funnel feedback to me on how we can improve anything we do here.

Welcome aboard once again, Alan.

Well, it got me to read every word very carefully and wonder what kind of contests we would be having!

Good luck Alan!

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
