I guess I did things backward. I'll try to start over.

Typically, I jumped in with both feet after I signed up, and didn't give due regard to familiarizing myself with the site first. It's just that I saw something which stirred passion...I couldn't help it :blink: . I should have given the owner the courtesy of reading his intro material though, so shame on me. It's pretty neat for someone to go through all the headaches involved in running such a site, and the least courtesy newcomers can offer is to read the guidelines. I apologize for being rude.

So hello everyone. This appears to be a great site for discussing the golf swing, which is my passion. I'm a swing junkie. I do have views which will be controversial, and which will challenge the accepted norms. I don't shy away from that. If that is a problem, I will not be accepted here. We'll see how it goes. I would hope that I can make some friends along the way. If at any time the owners would rather I not post here, I would appreciate the courtesy of being told straight up, and I'll leave. I'm trying to learn tact when expressing my views. I'm sure to fail on occasion, but I am trying.

I'm on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay, on the Gulf coast of Alabama; born and grew up in Pensacola Fl. I'm 65 yrs of age. I have been developing a particular swing for many years which I call "Pure and Simple Golf Swing". The results I have been getting lately tell me I am on the right track. "My Swing" was posted prematurely, I think as an attempt to keep me out of a train wreck on another thread. :~( I'm fine that it is posted however. It's already created quite a lively discussion. I'm here in part to test my theories and findings against your critique. So bring it on!

I'm not trying to sell anything. I have no plans but to continue developing this swing, and record the whats and whys on youtube. Will I ever try to sell something? If a book is feasible one day, I'll sell it. On the web, I plan to freely give it all. That's my thinking at present. I primarily want to get it organized in legible fashion before I die. If I continue to get similar results (and document them for proof), I will know that I have something of value to contribute to this alluring game of golf.

    • after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....
    • this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.
    • day 57. Technique practice in the net. Really trying to slow down. 
    • It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.
    • As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
