She says it smells like metal and grass.

Funny, my wife says I make golf smell like bourbon and cheap cigars.

But the worst is the stink of your glove hand afterwards.

I assume from this post that before taking up golf, you had never played outside before?

The way you smell afterward.

Yeah I think it's good to have a hobby, I like golf, but that smell makes me sick. I'm taking up bowling once it gets too cold to golf here.

Sorry dude....I can't help but laugh here.

Try bowhunting in the early season of Georgia...making a kill and having to bloodtrail and drag out a deer in the mid-morning heat. Next you get to clean the kill. Compared to this, golf is nothing. Yep...maybe bowling will be more agreeable for you. Hope that lane wax doesn't offend you.

i know exactly what hes talking about. my skin smells different any time after being outside for more than 1/2 hour. i think the sun on my skin makes it smell different, and my wife can always tell, she tells me i smell like the outdoors.

Ha, this reminds me of one of the american pie movies.

Nope....this simply reminds me of a guy I golfed with recently....he whined and complained throughout the round about all manner of stuff. I was very glad to "loose" him at the turn.

I have no tolerance for complainers. I'd rather be stuck behind a slow fivesome than be around a whimpy whiner.

I'm gonna go with slow play - especially when people are trying to copy all the routines of the pros (e.g. Jim Furyk and Camillo Vagigass)

yeah, that's actually way true...... golf is like my first outdoor type of hobby, and I'm 21.

Drugs are bad. M'kay.
 
I change my swing every time I don't shoot par for the course.

I'm blessed with a poor sense of smell. And nothing in golf could possibly compare to a football locker room. Or the smell of my gym bag. I am a man, sometimes I smell bad.

    • 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! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • 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.
