..after working like a mule this morning hand spreading 25 yds of mulch, I collected my co-worker and we hit the course...took off early to do so.

thought one: don't work like a mule before hitting the course... yer wore out by hole 10 when it's hot and humid.

meet a 3rd golfer there who was by far the best goilfer I've had the priveledge to play with. shot a -2 70 on a course he hasn't played "for years"..and the course had changed. to those of you who are at this level in your game, I applaud you. after seeing for the 1st time, 300+ yd drives... tight approach shots..and deadly putting... I was humbled. my co-worker is good friends with this guy, and is a 6 handicap. I was the..well... they had to gracioulsy wait for me, but did so with great attitudes...

thought 2: regardless of ones' level,true sportsmanship and tolerance for partners is a true blessing....

your eyes are always a good teacher, if you know what you're looking at, and to see a pure-striker at work, tends to lead to many visual "tips". I noticed that his drivers' face was slightly 'lofted" at address..ever so slightly..and that "click" is the sound you're supposed to hear from an irons on a par 3s, as well as with hybrids and mid-irons.....click... a sound thats' unforgettable...

thought 3: only tyhing that makes each shot sound like it's supposed to, is practice. period.... must hit range....

to all those that have this opportunity..the chance to play with MUCH..another world better, player, I say it can only make you a better player and a better golfer...over time. I know I'm gonna play with these guys as much as they'll have me....

hit 'em straight(er than me).....

Today I saw a guy on the range who is right handed, used a left handed club, addressed it backwards, spun around, and knocked it 300 yards. And man, the acoustics were flawless .

    • 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.
    • 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).
