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.

46 here. Played off and on several times since I was 15. This go-round been playing steadily for two years and don't see anything getting in the way this time.

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? :)

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
