Hey everyone.

My name is Ian, and I've recently returned to golf after a 6-month hiatus.
I played on my high school team, and then in college, but stopped playing very often after I graduated. I'm a couple of years out of college, and I'm really starting to feel the itch to play a lot. I stumbled accross this forum and decided to sign up. Part of golf to me is the conversations that go on around the sport, whether on the course, the practice tee, or over a beer. I think it'll be fun to have a group like all of you to talk shop with.

I started up a golf blog aimed at helping golfers with swing problems. The idea is that people will write in with swing problems they are having, and post any videos or pictures of the issue on a YouTube or Flickr account. The rest of the community would then post comments about possible fixes, drills, or tips. I truly believe that a lot of golfers don't see professionals because they lack the time or the money to do so. Furthermore, many instructors don't bother to figure out how their students learn. As much as getting instruction from multiple people can be detrimental, I believe it would be benefitial to look through tips that people send in, and find the one that makes sense to you. Its free. I have a day job, and I'm not doing this to make any money. I just thought it'd be a fun way to participate in the online golfing community.

Back to the point. I'm excited to be on these forums and to talk about golf.
Thanks for letting me be a part of this.

Welcome to the forum.

Little tidbit that I wish someone would have told me when I first started...
Be nice with the reputation. if someone answers your questions, writes a great post, or submits cool topics, hit the little blue box at the top right hand of their post and add to their reputation. They will probably return the favor when you submit something meaningful.

Take care!

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.
