Well hello there friends, just figured I'd throw my hands up and say hi. My name's Brad and I currently reside down in the Bayou State in a small town outside Baton Rouge. I work at a Kia dealership as an Assistant Service Manager and play golf on the weekend or my off days. I'm one of those lucky ones that has a wife who loves to play and enjoys coming with me.

I've been playing since I was about 8 years old with a long break from when I was about 15/16. We just started playing again a month or so ago and have fallen in love with the game all over again. I used my father's clubs for a little bit, but they were a little too long for me. Since I didn't really know what clubs to get etc etc, I just bought a cheap-o ebay set with a bag for like $70.

I know, I know, the clubs are embarassing. Although, for my current skill level/accuracy, I think they're an alright fit until I find a decent used set. I'm finishing in the upper 90s/low 100s for 18 holes and I usually put a little left to right midair spin on my drives so I figure until I master my swing, beginner's clubs are fine... :)

Nice to meet you all and I hope I can learn something!

Hello,

This is my first post and I'm excited to join everyone. My name is Rob and I'm from Michigan, which is a beautiful golf state. I'm a lefty with a handicap around 15. Golf is the greatest game in the world and I can't wait to share our experiences!

    • 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.
