My wife and I spent 3 months on the range before we hit the course for the 1st time - it drove the membership saleswoman crazy and she kept threatening to drag us out herself. All I can say is just get out there - we played afternoons until we felt we could keep up with the pace of play of the morning crew.

Thanks :) We've gone to one local course (9-hole) so far. We're going there again this weekend if the weather is good. Most people there are beginners and people are patient, so it works out well. I shot a 49 (par 30). Hopefully I'll do better this time. I hit a fairway from every tee. This time I'm hoping to hit my OWN fairway each time.

Big goals...

This is going to be a great track when it matures. Unfortunatly it will probably be lined with houses by the time that happens.

This course just began a major renovation within the last few weeks with one of Jack Nicklaus's leading architects.

Pretty nice course. My 'home' course for lunch practice. Driving range is so-so and chipping area is rock hard unfortunately.

Closer to my home and my Saturday course. Driving range has excellent distance markers and mats. Chipping area varies from soft, long grass to harder ground. Very busy though. Oddly enough the putting green is huge, but only has six holes.

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
