Finally got out this Friday. I declared a golf emergency and went out to my home course and played 18. Had in interesting round:

GIR = 5
Fairways = 11
Pars = 6
Birdies = 1 (and I hung two on the lip!!!)
3 putts = 2

Overall 87 (the bad news was 5 double bogeys

So there may be hope for this year yet. The putter felt really solid even though I had three putts. The greens were very uneven and bumpy.

Hope springs eternal!!!

I didn't hit the course over the weekend but I did venture out to the range. It felt good to get the dust off. I figured out some of my slice problem. Now there's still a little I need to take care of. Now instead of slicing from the beginning my shots are slicing more towards the end of their flight. Over all though it was good to get out and feel the sun warming my skin.

I am playing my first round this weekend. I hope for good results as well. I usually play better in the first rounds out because I don't try to do too much, however, I then think I magically turn into Tiger.

On a side note, I am able to get out this weekend because my wife allowed me a weekend trip, so I am flying down to S. Carolina where my parents have a house to take advantage of the warmer weather. My wife got sick of me complaining about the horrible weather and for my sanity, and quite frankly hers...I get a golf weekend. WOO HOO.

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
