With time on my hands after being widowed (after years of being a carer) I’ve got time to enjoy(?) this beautiful frustrating game! I don’t recommend my method of getting here, but it’s been wonderful for my MH.

Picked up an old (like near-20 year old) set of clubs plus bag for £30, hit a bunch of balls on the range a few times and decided it was a thing I could get into. Been putting in the work since with a great teacher over the last year or so. Switched out the Magreggor irons for Taylor Made stealth irons middle of last year (which I love) and he recently did me a really good deal on a new (well, unused) 3-wood. Take away the high-handicapper duff shots and it’s proving to be a rather savvy purchase.

Right now I’m working on trying to flatten my swing path - I’m a *lot* less over-the-top than I was, but plenty of work to do.

Anyways….though I’d say hello

      Day 104 (10 Jun 23) - Worked on swing tempo today - used 9i and PW - took time between to simulate approach to shot from elsewhere.

      The Films and Movies Thread

      I love this YouTube channel. Specifically the VFX reactions. It is interesting what movie makers could get away with pre computer generation and also motion control cameras. Some crazy shots can be done by just manipulating perspective with the camera.

      Day 222, June 10, 2023 Worked downtown after lessons for about 35 minutes or so. That's only about… 27 golf balls. I recorded one on the Casio because it was already out.

      My Swing (iacas)

      By iacas ·

      Just going back to what I need to do. Rehearsing it slowly. Hands went out a little more than I want here, but otherwise… not bad. If you look you can see how my left wrist still palmar flexes after the little pump.

      PGA Tour Merges With LIV Golf

      Small audience, but high profile.   And I do not believe any part of this or other sports washing, such as the purchase of soccer teams, has anything to do with investment return.
