The past few years I really started taking golf seriously.  Only problem is that I need some help with my game.  It's frustrating golfing with my friends every weekend and getting beat (by 20 strokes) consistently.

At night I try finding fixes to my game by Googling terms such as "how to fix my swing plane, drills to stop hooking the ball, stop swinging from outside in, etc" and the answers were always coming from TST.  So I decided it's time to pull the trigger and join this awesome blog.

I look forward to posting more and receiving good feedback!

Cheers Everyone!

If you're in NE OH, then visiting us in Erie is the next logical step after getting your answers from TST! :D

I should come see you again for some tweaking.  My driver game is shaky again and my bunker play is atrocious!!!!

Your like an hour from Erie man, take a trip over and get a lesson. Its absolutely worth it, the insight into the golf swing is second to none. The business they have there is amazing. Really, you wont be disappointed. After years of following on this blog, i finally took my trip up north (i'm about 4-4.5 hours away from Erie), it was the best lesson i ever had. Couple that with the forum here, you really got a good support system to enhance any aspect of the golf game.

Hmm...I might just have to do that myself...

The Internet Adjustment Formula:
IAD = ( [ADD] * .96 + [EPS] * [1/.12] ) / (1.15)
 
IAD = Internet Adjusted Distance (in yards)
ADD = Actual Driver Distance (in yards)
EPS = E-Penis Size (in inches)

    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
