Returning to golf after a 20 year hiatus, so much information out there now, it seems you can find an answer ( or 10) for everything.

Ex 4H’cap , struggling a bit especially short game.

Welcome back!  We all struggle with pieces.  Hopefully we'll get better together.

Been there done that.  Coming back to the game, after a long hiatus, is the only situation I am familiar with.  One wonders how it might be had there not been so much time away.  The great thing...the very great thing...is how much game there is before you.  And how could it be otherwise?

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By saevel25 · Posted

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
