Well the weather has been taking a turn for the worse around here (Hampton Roads, VA) lately, and I have been planning on basically cutting back golf to almost completely zero for the year as the holidays approach. That being said, I went out yesterday to Deer Run and shot a 78 on the Cardinal course. Shot a very uncharacteristically even 38/40. Bogied the first 2 holes so I wasn't even really paying attention to my score until I got to the par 4 9th, and knocked my 8 iron to 2 feet behind the hole almost rolling it in for eagle. I have only shot under 42 once before in my life, and it was a 39 on a fairly easy Links course. But to make a long story short, ended up with 7 bogies, 10 pars and the one birdie for my 78. Was almost a 77 as I rolled a 45 footer uphill on #18 to within 2 inches for my par! Completely stoked, I love this game.

Nice work, I know how it feels having just recently broken 80 for the first time in the winter season.

It nice to end the year on a high note. In my case I will be playing winter golf, but I still can't wait for the summer season to start up again!

Thanks all, while it isn't technically the end of the season, it IS probably the end of "good weather" golf... so I won't be disappointed if I don't shoot below 80 again this year. Went out Thanksgiving morning and walked 9 with some cousins/uncle/brother in-law, and shot a 46, but we were just messing around and I wasn't really taking anything seriously. This is the first year i'll be able to play in the winter since every other season I've golfed I was in Upstate New York!

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
