My name is Wendell. I've played golf off and on, mostly off unfortunately for almost 30 years. I finally bought my first set of "real" irons (Titleist AP1's) just before Christmas last year. I seem to be hitting them pretty good...well, better than the old set I had. Looking forward to getting to know as many folks here as possible and hope to get in a round or two with some of you in my neck of the woods.

God Bless,

Wendell

Hey welcome! I'm new myself. I live out in Cathedral City - which being so close you probably know. I normally just say "Palm Springs" because 99.9% of the people I speak to have no clue where Cat City is. Welcome to Titleist irons - they are my personal favorite.

Welcome to The Sand Trap, Dubya D!

Thanks for the welcome guys!

hey dub i live in hemet right now for a little while we should get together to play hemet landmark

I usually play there or Diamond Valley. The greens at Landmark (FYI-they changed the name to Hemet Golf Club) look really good after the new management took over. I'll give you a weeks notice next time I head out there.

I've lived out here a long time so, yeah, I know where you are at. I like it a little better on this side of Mt San Jacinto during the summer...gets freaking hot your way!

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • 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).
