Hi all,

Getting back into the game after years away. I used to be really active on golf forums under the same username (I think it was TGC's forum?). 

A little about me...

-I played competitive High School and College Golf.

-Taught professionally for Golf Digest at the Truckee Resort in Lake Tahoe (not sure if it even exists anymore)

-Burnt out and have since been an active duty Marine Corps Officer for the past 10 years. 

-Don't get to play much but now enjoy watching and playing when I can. 

-I recently ditched my Mizuno Blades I've had since 2003/4, and got a set of Callaway Rogue X irons and simply enjoying turning my brain off and launching the ball in a somewhat directional fashion.

-It's fun still having the ability to break par or shoot 100 and no one cares and it doesn't matter.

-Just trying to get back and involved in the game...I still like teaching and maybe can help a few in that area. I was active in the instruction forums when I was teaching. The game has evolved so much...I played recently and it was weird not pulling the flagstick out, or nearly whiffing my Callaway Epic Driver and it still ending up in the fairway, but that's why it's fun. 

Cheers!

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      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.
