Hey All!

I'm an approaching-middle-age newbie golfer. I took golf as a PE credit back in my college days and I've been known to take part in company-sponsored golf scrambles (very pathetic, but free beer convinced me to try). I took a single lesson last year from a friend who is a pro instructor, but then she moved to another state and I was forced to find another. This year I convinced my wife that it would be fun if we learned together (she'd never swung a club). She was dubious, but agreed to a lesson with a pro. She was hooked immediately and so now, both of us are taking lessons. We had a local pro shop make us a fitted set of inexpensive clubs and we've been swinging ever since.

That's my story - now I'm off to read some of the old posts

      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.
