Hi All,

Im a newbie to any type of forum but I have been bitten with the golf bug & have come across this great looking place & want to be part of it.

I've been playing now each weekend for 6 months with my 3 sons & they are kicking my arse...

I had played 5 games before about 30 years ago then I broke my L4 & L5 vertebrae & my back hasn't been the same since.

Have a handicap of 34 at present as still trying to get some rhythm going, using regular flex for driver & senior flex for 3hybrid (waiting on a fitting test etc) & I hit the hybrid further than the driver...

anyway hello & hope to be able to contribute in the future

Welcome.  What's golf like in Queensland?  Fairly warm I'm thinking.

    • Day 16 - 45 minutes of range work. Diagnosed and worked on some 100 yd and in wedge direction issues; repeated slowly focusing on hands dropping behind me and feeling the release going to the right. Also worked on full swing weight transfer with good results.
    • TPC Sawgrass and WHOF courses first week of Feb and then back to Pinehurst in April.    Nice set! Grand Cypress is a favorite in the area.  +10...!
    • 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? 
    • 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.
