I am retired in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  I took up golf a quarter century ago, have been away from the game for the last six years or so, and am six weeks back into a resumption.  Lots of range time and practice rounds so far.  Years ago there was a Taylormade commercial with this guy in plus-fours with a Scots accent (I think the golfnow people may have recycled him), and he proclaims 'find your swing.'  Right now I can't even find my game, my less my swing.

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 guest house owner in a small tourist town in South Africa. Which gives me time to practice and play my golf.

I retired too...so I could spend more time writing and painting.  And now maybe I'll have more time to practice and improve my golf game, although my martial arts practice can get the way of my golf practice.  I spent 40 years in the planning and design profession, the last 20 years was spend helping Mike Keiser bring Bandon Dunes into reality.  Now when I go down there I have time to play golf rather than simply work, work, work.  The last time I was at the resort I spent some time on the Punchbowl--the resort's putting course--and it improved my putting game.  Plus playing with a golf buddy, we turned it into an interesting game...check it out if you find yourself on the West Coast.

I'm a recruiter for an online ecommerce store similar to Amazon in the Chicago area.  Love what I do, but wish I had more time to golf!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
