yes i would play the greens wont be in tip top shape but you can still have fun playing

Probably not too severe of an aeration.

Check out the Tobacco Road Golf Club near the Pinehurst area. We went years ago and had an absolute blast. It is a freakish layout that yeilded a ton of fun.

Wow, what a course. I just played it from the Ross tees (6500 yds) and it was fun. Now I know what they mean by Donald Ross domed greens. Some of the greens were off, but most were playable, probably 1 or 2 less than the normal stimp. I guess without the aeration, the greens are pretty fast. Fifty dollars for a replay, but decided to relax instead.

I fail to understand why aeration is so bad. Just check your line. The aerated greens that I've seen were never completely ripped up.. Just holes in them - they don't affect my putt any more than a wayward blade of grass does.

Ahh man I hate aeration. I think it really screws with the line and in the end is a waste of greens fee. Can't stand it.

      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. 🙂
