I used to play golf quite a bit, was really interested in improving my swing but a combination of things took me away from playing (work, an accident, study, relationship). I sold my clubs and all I have now is an old wedge and one of those tour striker 7 irons. I haven't used either in more than a year.

I'm in korea and I will be moving to Canada permanently next year. I want to practice in the range a little (I don't have tons of time and I don't like practicing) over the next year and remake my swing somewhat.

I don't want to be great.. I want serviceable with minimal upkeep. There is nothing more frustrating of having no idea if you'll even make solid contact. I want to golf mainly to meet people in Canada so it will be a social thing. If all else fails, I'll just get some lessons over there but I'd like to figure some out on my own first.

My main problem with golf is upper body/lower body connection and interplay. This also explains why I can't dance. I am very good at anything involving hand eye co-ordination ... but this falls apart when I have to combine that with my feet.

Any recommendations for a swing for an uncoordinated person? Maybe something with a set lower body?

Personally, I'd recommend the 5SK system. Second to that, try Stack & Tilt. Both are good.

Aren't they pretty much the same thing? Looking at the s&t; setup it's pretty much the same thing the guys at 5sk do, centered pivot taught by s&t; steady head by 5sk, weight forward @ impact s&t; and 5sk, etc..

A bit more discussion about that here: PureStrike 5SK, Stack and Tilt, Etc .

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
