Hello,

I am an avid golfer from southern california, member at Sierre La Verne CC a narrow track with very fast and subtle greens that usually run around 12.5. I have shot in the 70's over 100 times but have yet to do it at my course ( 5 80's and 7 81's ) .

I was researching something when I came across this site and decided to sign up, I think it will be fun to discuss golf topics with other golfers from around the country.

I chose Babyfade because I am 6-7 and hit a slight fade with my driver.

Nice, not many people know where Fallbrook is. We are fortunate to have many great courses very close. One of my personal favorites is Cross Creek; out in the De Luz area. If you are ever in the area look me up and we will go play.

Hello Ms Bee,

I am going to be in San Diego for a recruiting trip at the Bishops School Friday & Saturday 7/1 & 2 and I might hang around for a few days and play some golf, if you are available on such short notice let's try and play. I can get out Saturday afternoon after 1:30 or so and all day Sunday if I stay in the area. Here is my email in case I don't look here again jim@baahealth.com and if this time does not work out lets try and play soon. My coaching schedule opens up the first part of August ( after Junior Olympics and before the men's season at Pomona Pitzer Colleges 8/28 ) and I plan on playing a lot during that break because once the college season begins I don't have time to breathe!!

Take Care, Jim

      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.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      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).
