I'm 33, been playing for the last 18 years and have sucked for the better part of those years. I can't say I understand all of you teenagers on here who just picked up a club and suddenly have a 12 handicap.

Practice, Practice, and more Practice.

Its not always how you drive the ball, but how it arrives.

They say it's not how much you practice, but how well. Takes a lot of thought.

Just turned 43, but often feel 63. Pretty bad when you start buying shoes based on whether or not you have to bend over and tie them.

I'm 18. I have been playing for just over two years. I feel good where I am but know there is a lot to learn. I started playing when I quit hockey. I quit that due to increased pain in my ankles and knees. I needed something to do but with a little less stress. I love it now and hope to never have to stop. I do have a little bit of a hockey swing but my high school coach was right. He could make a hockey swing into a good golf swing. baseball players seem to have trouble keeping the leading foot on the ground at takeaway but for me as a hockey player I lift my hind foot after a swing a little every now and then. It gives me something to work on though.

Welcome to the forum Todd, I would like to say a couple things, first, thanks for everything that you do over in Iraq, it is very much appreciated! Also, I don't live in the Augusta area but maybe you should stop on down by Tennesse sometime. LOL. How long has it been since you've hit a golfball anyways? Or do you have some clubs with you.

Its not always how you drive the ball, but how it arrives.

Thanks for the kind words. No matter how many times we hear someone tell us the appreciate our service, it never gets old. I was very fortunate to be on a post that had some donated clubs and an area to swing at, plus I went home on R&R; at the end of June, so I was able to get some playing time in between traveling with the family. I'll have even more time to play once I get back because I will be on leave for 30 days while my wife is teaching school and my kids are in school. Hooray!!! BTW, what part of TN? My mother in law lives in north MS, close to Memphis!

      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).
