I'm new to the forum, but not new to golf. I started when I was about 30, took lessons from a pro and got my handicap down to 12. Then I had kids and very rarely played. My kids are now adults, so I started back up. Current handicap is 22 after playing most weekends this summer.

The system says you're in Argentina. That's all.

Welcome to TST.   We're glad you've joined.   I was on the same path as yourself, having dropped the game for many years while raising children.

Welcome to the forum! This is a great place to learn and talk about golf, and I am glad you found it (I hope you end up feeling the same way). @iacas, maybe a VPN thing.

I guess I was lucky.  My parents decided to combine them and raised us while golfing and getting us interested in it as well.  I have been playing golf on and off since I was 12, when I got professional lessons and learnt properly I guess

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
