I wondered about that 36 handicap thing. I assumed it was due to being a new poster.

Its an interesting explanation on your view of the sequence of events. I'm always interested to see how a player views what is supposed to happen. 3D golf analysis has really shed some light on what should happen from a muscular pattern perspective. The golfing machine has also been a valuable resource to the geometry and physics of the swing.

I have always found the best descriptions are the one's in which the instructor uses his own words and not those which are now cliche. All my coaches have done this while I was in my playing days and showing examples of elite athletes in a sports science environment shed light on what we think we know.

I have seen great ball strikers able to hit the ball with the same flight and distance standing only on their front leg. I think it was Ernest Jones who first understood this concept.

You can change the handicap in your profile under the "User CP". When I see a 36 handicap I tend to discount any swing tips because a true 36 cap can't have much of a swing himself. I may have done you an injustice, and if so I apologize.

    • Day 33 (20 Feb 26) - played the Friday men’s group shootout.  Solid day of working from some tough shot results - made for a good number of up and downs for par (8 of the 9 pars were such). Cart mate and I discussed the visual aspect of the game - and how much it plays into the individual’s mindset during the round.  Love when the discussion is focused on learning and taking positives away and not just how bad the miss may be.  
    • Day 507 - 2026-02-20 Got some backswing work in on GEARS Hybrid.
    • Still kinda working on the backswing stuff. I can turn < 45°, but I tend to tilt toward the target a little. I can tilt away from the target, but I tend to turn a bit more. Case in point. I can do it, though: This I can do all day (it's more lateral than I want, but it's very linear): Here's what 38° of turn looks like. Almost freaking nothing.
    • Good progress. I am finally feeling like I am settling my weight into my right foot earlier in the backswing. Right hip sinks back, right leg feels staying flexed. Feeling very stable and firm in the right leg. I feel like I could do a good squat with that right leg. Very balanced. 
    • oops, forgot Pebble Beach and Spyglass.  And two more of the original Open rota, Prestwick and Musselburgh (with hickory shafted rentals).  And Muirfield.  And maybe a few more, I'll check my list when I get home.
