I think I rush too much. How many seconds do you prepare before you make your swing? Right now, I only do about 7 seconds. I suppose it might make a difference what stage you're at, so I'll point out I'm a beginner.

What's the best way to warm up before a game? What muscles are the most important? I see people placing the club behind their neck, resting on their shoulders and turning - I try it but it doesn't seem to do anything for me at all. Is that supposed to stretch any muscles? I don't get it.

Just got back from a one-on-one session. My shots were filmed, and then we watched and analyzed them on a computer, to see where my posture/stance, windup, transition, etc, needed to be improved. After that I started playing again. I feel like I've gone from a beginner to a pro in just half an hour (Obviously I exaggerate). But shot after shot, it actually made it into the air, getting roughly 150 meters each time. I recommend that beginners do this, because it really helped me a lot. I'm guessing most courses/driving ranges have the technology. Damn, I'm happy.

18, turning 19.

Awesome. I hope to get a hole in one some day (don't we all?). Pretty cool you got to witness one though!

Good work, man.

I have a blister from golf as well. And I have a golf lesson tomorrow morning. I hope it doesn't cause a problem during the session or anything. Anyway, I'm guessing our hands just need to toughen up over time. At least I'm sure mine do.
