When I'm having a horrible hole. Im off the green and chipping for bogey, so I'm expecting double or worse, and I chip in. Or When I have a long putt for bogey that I make and save the hole.

Getting all putts inside 6ft does it for me. I then know i didn't leave to many shots out there.

Driver shots. My favorite guilty pleasures are those wide open par 5 fairways where you can just slam the driver down.

Also, great approach shots. Getting the ball within 5 ft of the pin is such a great feeling.

i'm getting the itch just thinking about it.

hitting any iron the exact distance I wanted to. Sometimes it is a knock down wedge or a full 6-iron, I just want them to go the distance I planned for.

That's it for me. I've had times where I missed the green because I had the wrong yardage to the pin or didn't account for a wind gust, but I hit the iron about the exact distance I wanted/expected to. That usually results in a good day for me.

Hitting greens, I LOVE watching my iron shots sail towards the green, not off to the left or right.

LMAO.

Ohhh. This thread could go down so fast.... (like getting a hole-in-one or two???) But seriously, for me it's getting home in two on par 5's.

For me it's hitting a great pitch and watching it go straight for the hole, with no doubt that in will not go in.

Hitting a pure 9 iron or PW tight. It is the coolest feeling ever to me. I could sit 115 yards out and hit buckets of balls every day and it never get old.

Collecting money....

Along these lines, nothing like snaking in a 20 footer for 6 skins.

Hitting greens. To me there is no better feel in golf than hitting a pure iron shot, seeing it smack down on the green, and spin back a foot or two. Long irons don't have that same spin effect, but it is also nice because it is a harder shot.

The greatest satisfaction for me is putting well. I love when I am draining everything...

Doesn't happen often of course, but what's more frustrating then not being able to get the ball in the cup?! ;)

      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.

      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).
