Hello,

I have been a lurker on TST for over two years. About a year ago I joined as a member and I have now decided I would like to engage in the community more. I am a college student living alone for the first time this summer. I have played golf nearly everyday the last two summers with my buddies in a very casual fashion, and thus have not had a real focus on improvement in quite sometime. I am looking to take advantage of all the alone time this summer to work on my game.

I started playing 5 years ago and improved at a decent rate for the first three years and then stalled quite a bit because I stopped practicing regularly outside of just playing casual rounds with my friends. When I get the chance, I will be filming my swing and posting in the member swings forum. I plan on using that thread to track my progress throughout the summer. My goal is to establish an official handicap at a club (I have previously been calculating it on my computer just for fun) and get it below 6 by the end of the summer. In order to do this, I need to focus on my ball striking to hit more greens in regulation.

I look forward to interacting with everyone on the site and I am excited to commit the summer to improving my golf game.

    • 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.
