I am a police officer in a city south of Boston, 6 years so far. I work the midnight shift to give myself more time for golfing, although it doesn’t always work out as planned haha.

I am a senior college student working the the automotive industry as a coop mechanical engineer. I have just started getting into the sport about 2 years ago and joined a league this year. I am very excited to start focusing on a new game that I am not so good at. I played 3 sports pretty well in high school so it is nice to find another challenge out there. I know I will be on here asking questions all of the time cause this sport is like none other and can be very difficult to figure out when things aren't going right. I look forward to discussing golf on here.

I am a freashman full-time student at the University of Oklahoma
I am majoring in Economics and Finance with a minor in Poli-Sci and Spanish
I used to play a fair amount in the early years of highschool (9th and 10th grade)
Unforeseen events caused me to quit playing but I am trying to get back into this beautiful sport
I currently purchased a Wilson set of clubs and Have been putting them to work.
They are not too bad however my dad promised me if I can get my scores back to the 80's (high or low) he will pay for me to get fitted, so I am going to be working at it all summer.
I just recently played the University course, Jimmie Austin, and hit in the high 90's..its been too long but hopefully I can improve some more and get back to hitting in the 80's but we'll see

I'm the Technology Director for our small rural school district in Central Kansas. I've coached about every sport there is over the past 30+ years in education but golf is and always was my first love. I am still bitter about having my job take me away from coaching HS golfers. I've had two individual state champions and a team runner-up plus tons of kids who have gone on to enjoy golf their entire lives and sometimes I'm not sure which makes me happier!

I've been looking for a good golf forum for some time and stumbled upon this one recently and look forward to perhaps helping others with their swings or equipment, of which I am an admitted wedge junkie! I currently have about 20 wedges in my golf shop and am always looking for that new idea that will help me chip and pitch more consistently. I'm currently about a 2 handicap but that's because I'm waiting to get a new right knee and then I'm planning on getting it back down to a plus handicap again!

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      I'm not sure who said it first but I've seen it a lot. There's this "think box" vs "play box" theory. I've also seen it with a planning vs doing line on the ground. The idea is basically you stand away from the ball (a couple feet) and do your "think box". This is where you do your planning, your swing cues, your practice swings (if you believe in practice swings.) All of that is done in the "Think Box". Then you step into your "play box" address the ball and hit it. Sometimes it's done with a imaginary line on the ground. You do all of the think box stuff behind the line. Then once you cross the line you step up and hit it.  Here's Annika Sorenstam demonstrating the "Think box" and "Play box": So, Annika's time over the ball is really short. Because she did all of that other stuff not over the ball, but in her "Think box".  There are lots of variations on this theme. But I think you get the idea.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By GolfLug ·

      I speak for myself. If I inventory my swing thoughts, swing tempo, optimum muscle tension and rehearse a swing before I take my address, then I pull the trigger reasonably quickly with usually acceptable results. Like a proper program download before deploying it. If I don't bother to by forgetting or just not caring, I am inclined to look for my cues while hovering over the ball after taking the address, while tension builds up and then I fire with a half ass program that is still buffering. I guess that's no better than rolling a dice. In other words, a good pre-shot routine does wonders. I am not advising folks to take 13 practice swings while the flowers wilt waiting for something to happen, but one or maybe two are reasonable and good for you. I am certain hitting half ass shitty shots and making double bogey takes longer than making a par.  My desire this year is to just that as I have not developed a habit taking a practice swing and as a result have tendency to freeze over the ball after address, that is counter productive for both time and result. I think that is what @saevel25 is talking about in the OP.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By gbogey ·

      I think there's a difference between taking time over the ball and taking time to play a shot, at least IMO. One thing I've noticed in a few guys I play with who take a long time over the ball to pull the trigger, is that their backswing is really fast and I think it makes it harder to have a smooth rhythmic down swing. It's almost like they take so long to swing that when they do they speed to catch up. Doesn't lead to good golf IMO.
