Good evening, ya’all.  Just found the forum and I’d like to hang out and pick up some tips.  I’m not a big “poster”, but I read a LOT.  A bit about me, 67 yrs old, just retired, Registered Nurse for a major telecommunications company.  Played a LOT of golf in my 20 - 30;s then life got in the way.  Now that I have TIME, I’m anxious to get back into the game.  I’ve taken a couple of lessons and I’m becoming a certified “Range Rat.”. I know I have to get out on the course and play and I’m beginning to do more of that.  Also realizing that my 67 year old body is as flexible as it was 40 years ago, lol.

 

I’ve got lots of bad habits to unlearn, but I’m willing to try.  I just don’t want to totally embarrass myself and get through 18 holes without having to buy more sleeves of balls at the turn.

Thanks for letting me in!

Welcome to TST..

My non golfing brother was a life long Texan, except when he traveled for work. While visiting him, I think I golfed most of the courses around the Ft Worth area. 

Lots of good info on this forum. You will have fun here. 

"Another Retired Texan" funny stuff.

Yup! I'm 73 and probably exercise more now than age 40, though the exercises are different. Good golfers will welcome you just as they did me, with patience, tolerance and hope. Best, -Marv

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
