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!

      Swing or Hit?

      By Sclaffer ·

      Thank you for the replies.  On reflection, I need to go away and work on proprioception. For example, I have never had any idea where the club head is. I go for a lesson, the pro identifies a fault and we fix it. Because I do not feel  the difference between the fixed swing and the old swing, I write down what we worked on. However, without any feel or muscle memory of what constitutes a good swing, it is a lottery whether my next round will be good or bad. I contrast myself with my brother in law; who’s swing is truly ugly. He was a cricketer and has great  proprioception, so he is consistent and straight. I just found Andrew Emery video on golf proprioception. Any views on his teaching? Regards

      Certain psychedelics help with curbing bad habits, so maybe?

      2025 TST Outing Preliminary Blabber

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      I'm interested. I always enjoy playing in these events, sometimes I've even played well. ... sometimes not so much.  I do have an event I've been playing for more than a decade and a half that happens the first weekend in May in Las Vegas.  BTW - if any of you are interested in joining me in that event let me know, and I'll get you details.  Here's the thread for that event.

      Anywhere within reasonable driving distance works for me. Open to assist, too.
