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.

Do you wear the bobby hat and not allowed to carry a gun? These are serious questions btw. Read the post after it was gone and looked kinda jokey or snarky. I truly am curious on both fronts. ;)

Yep they occasionally make us actually wear the hats and instead of a gun we get a little can of CS spray!! I prefer it this way though. The more police carry guns the more the criminals will...

Hey my name is John, I have just signed up and thought I would introduce myself. I live on the Gold Coast QLD, Australia. I am an app developer. I mainly make games for IOS. This past 5 months I have also been working toward a goal of playing professional golf. I was playing off 27 in February this year and now 5 months later I'm down to 10. I have read so many posts about guys trying to achieve the same thing as me and I think it's fantastic that there are so many more people that love golf as much as I do. I recently started a blog about my ambitious goal of turning pro. If anyone is interesting in having a read and leave some comments feel free to check it out here. http://amateur-to-pro-golfer.weebly.com I'll try to update it as often as I can and would love to see some comments from those of you trying to achieve the same thing. I think having a support network would be helpful. So anyway it's great to be here and I hope I can be of some use. Cheers John

      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.
