Welcome Jay from NE Ohio.   You've found the best place on the web to talk golf.   Erik is currently giving us daily lessons thru April to help endure the Covid-19 pandemic.   You'll find this place will challenge opinions and ask for facts (that's a good thing!)

Stay safe

Hello @BigHE. 

All of us are terrible to start with. Some of us eventually get better. Much as I could use the company, I'm sure you'll be in the later category.

Spent some time back in the day in Massillon. Now, like @CarlSpackler, I'm in the Dayton area.

Welcome to TST! Another Daytonian here. I'm sure you will find some great info on these forums. Poke around to all of the different sections, as there is loads to learn. Stay safe up there. I know that Cuyahoga was one of the hardest hit counties in the state when it comes to COVID, and I hope you stay clear of it.

Hi Jay, 
I'm in the middle of the state... ish… 

Just North of Columbus.

Welcome to the forum.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Thank you all for the welcome.  You all stay safe as well.  I think I started off too fast.  I was going 3 to 4 times a week for  3 weeks.  I have a terrible pain in my upper rib area ( I hear its common), so I'm gonna take it easy for a while and spend some time getting acquainted with the forum here.  There are so many techniques.  Thanks again!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Chris Brooks ·

      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.

      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.
