I played less than a handful of times when I was a kid(dad was the parks and rec supervisor so he took me along a few times) and then I didn't really play again until I was 24. I was looking for a release after a nasty relationship ended and a friend just invited me to come along with him and his dad. Ever since then its been golf, golf, golf for me. Played baseball up until I was 18..tried doing competitive softball but the injuries I've had over the years just made it too rough to do for nothing more than bragging rights.

My philosophy on golf "We're not doing rocket science, here."

I just started this year, so 31 years old. I really do wish I had started sooner, but golfing wasn't in my family.

It seems like golf is something that has to be passed down to you in order for you to start at a young age. There doesn't seem to be many kids out there that have the perseverance to stick with golf unless it's something their parents already do.

Just started this summer. Took a few lessons and continuing with them, as well as hitting the range whenever I can. Will probably try my luck on a 9-hole this weekend :) I'm 23.

Cheers,

    • Imma throw a dart in the dark as no one can tell what is happening once every fourth iron shot per your OP. This might sound counterintuitive but if ball position is too far back in the stance folks are known to throw down clubhead steeply. Could be happening. And yes, @billchaois not wrong; clubhead tends to bottom out wherever your pressure is. So slide forward (not sway), then hit.
    • Day 300 (!): did a stack session. 
    • Day 24: Missed my weekly round due to a last minute little league makeup game this morning. Managed to get in some backswing rehearsals while grilling sausages for dinner, and then putted around the office/laundry room after dinner.
    • but I don't understand how that's possible you still want your head to stay back you don't want the upper body coming forward and plus I've tried feeling that and it made my fat shots worse and I then tend to pull and sky all my shots especially with driver because I get in front of it dont need force plates to see i finish on my left side
