24 here, played from ages 15 - 17 with a set of hand me downs. Pretty much stopped playing until last year when I got myself fitted for a set last year as a christmas gift to myself. Have been on fire for the game ever since. 3 - 5 rounds a week now.

am early 40's and started 11 years ago. wish i had picked this game up sooner. but am not complaining...i don't feel the need to "rip it" off the tee and like to think my way around a course. Mr. Watson showed us how such a strategy can even win majors for oldies. Let's face it, at the 2009 Open, over 4 very tough days, he beat the best players in the world and tied just 1 guy even after spotting him a good 20 years.

given the large numbers of younger players, it looks like TW's entry onto the scene has sparked a lot of interest in the game, and that's just fabulous for the game.

Took a lot of practice. I practice for about three hours every day from March-October and play a round every weekday because I can play unlimited golf for $100 if I tryout for the golf team. My hands have become immune to blisters.

Very nice. I've been playing golf since about the age of 14, but have only started getting serious about it over the past few months. The game is a lot more enjoyable when you can see and feel improvements isnt it? :)

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      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).
