I'm a software/web consultant. I like looking through the server logs mid-day to see who's browsing the main site (we don't keep statistics on forum usage). It's always a bunch of people using thei

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'm a lead aircraft mechanic for a major US airline.  I work in what's called "line maintenance,"  When you have a pilot say that the mechanics are working on the plane at the gate, that's my guys out there bending the wrenches.  As I lead, I handle administrative functions such as schedules, payroll, and training, along with ordering parts, being a point of contact for pilots, and other divisions within the airline.  Sometimes, they let me out to work on airplanes too.

I’m responsible for cyber security at a video game company.

Sounds interesting & hard given the constant hacking attempts.

the thing that amazes me is how many steps I need to go through to  access the corporate system I have access to yet hackers can defeat safeguards of major companies & governments that should have top notch security,

I think it's more making it a 1 in 1 million type of event versus a 1 in 100 type of event.

So I’m new here and I’m a LTL truck driver. I’ve been playing since I was 4 and my dad (professional) has taught me since then. I’m not scratch and probably never will be since I have 4 kids, 2 grandkids and 5… yes 5 nieces and nephews. Time doesn’t allow me to play as much as I need to to be better and I’m ok with it. I hope to meet a lot of you and if you’re in arky, holler at me.

I worked in finance for 20 years in Switzerland, now I run a luxury tour operator in Colombia and I actually offer custom-made golf trips throughout the country. I've always been close to golf (my dad and some close friends play) but I just started to learn. This week I played my first 9-hole course and I'm excited to get better!

Welcome! 

You're WAY too young!  You should have to wait until you can only hit your driver 280.

This reminds me, I'm not a retired geotechnical engineer.  My new career as volunteer golf rules official typically pays me a ham sandwich and a soft drink, but its more fun.

      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.
