I just wanted to introduce myself and hopefully find some other golfer in my area(s). I live in work in Atlanta, GA, but I go home to Smiths, AL (near Auburn) sometimes on the weekends. I just picked up the game a few months ago. I do take lessons with Mark Immelman in Columbus, GA, which is cool since his bro won the Masters. Really nice guy. My best score happened last weekend. I hit an 89 at Alfred "Tup" Holmes here in Atlanta, GA. If anybody in the area wants to play, I game. Thanks for looking and I look forward to learning a lot from you guys/gals.

Welcome! I'm in central Alabama right now. I'm envious that you just picked up the game a few months ago and managed to shoot a score it took me about 15 years of golf to achieve. :)

What part of Atlanta? I'm not there right now but was born and raised south of Atlanta in Fayetteville. I get back every now and then and if I can take my clubs I do. There are lots of good courses to be played all around the area.

Good luck.

I am in Atlanta myself. Been playing golf sporadically for 15 years, but only seriously in the last two. Working my way from a 36+ handicap down to an unofficial 18-or-so now. Been lurking here on the Trap for months and finally decided to register and post.

Jess,

What part of Bama? I know you said central, but what are you close to? Don't feel too bad. It was a one time deal. Haven't been able to touch it again.

Cool. We should get together and play. Lots of courses in Atlanta I haven't tried yet.

Jess,

I'm in Prattville, which is about 15 minutes north of Montgomery. We're fortunate to have some good golf around here, most of it on the cheap. I'm about 5 minutes from RTJ Capitol Hill, where the Navistar LPGA was this week, and I've got Emerald Mountain (Wetumpka) and Lagoon Park (Montgomery) within 30 minutes of my house.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
