Hey guys and gals,

Started playing golf again at the old age of 34 🙂

I played briefly in my teens, but that was mostly because I worked at a golf course and it was free.  I also took it way too seriously back then and got so flustered that it wasn't fun at all.

Fast forward to now, I have decided to give it another go, but with a whole new attitude.  Been to the range a few times, and played a round of 9 Saturday morning, and have a long way to go.  This time though, I refuse to get mad or angry, as this should be fun.  At any point, if it is no longer fun I will have to reevaluate the game.

Saturday I shot a 60 on the front 9 of my local golf course.  So needless to say I am horribly bad right now.  But the main thing is, I had a blast with the group I played with, and I think that is the take away.

Look forward to getting a little better and making friendships!

      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.
