I've often wondered why so many of you don't put your geographical location in your profiles.  Many times I read a comment and the poster says something like "We don't have that around here", but they never tell us where "here" is, so the statement is relatively meaningless.  I don't ask for a street address, just the general region for a point of reference.

Can any of you shed any light on this?  Why would you take the time to list every piece of equipment you use but not bother to let us know where you are posting from?

Good Point, I'm adding mine now.

I think some people simply don't want to give away too much information.

But to those people, look, if I wanted to I could figure out where you post from based on your IP address, and trust me, I've got better things to do. Give us the name of your nearest city and the state in which you live and we'll go from there. Okay? :-)

It's nice to know if someone's nearby. You might find a new golf buddy. So consider sharing a little info - not even your specific town name or zip code or anything.

Yep! I saw "Calgary, AB" and I said "Hey, I knows where that be! I can find this guy based on a city name and a username and stalk him!" :-)

Calgary has around 1.5 million people. I would say roughly 5000 are New Zealanders???. Of those 5000, maybe 200 play golf???, of those 200, I am probably the only Kieran that does golf.

Therefore, I will keep my blinds shut!

You could refine that even further. "Calgarians who can count to 3".

Yeah, see, if I'm being totally honest, I couldn't find you. I kept looking for that horse in your avatar, because clearly your avatar represents something very personal to you and not, say, a Nike commercial, and so I couldn't find your horse anywhere. I gave up and returned home.

I did have a good strawberry rhubarb pie at Patty's near downtown, though. Yum.

You've done your homework. Strawberry rhubarb (and raspberry rhubarb) pie is like kryptonite to Canadians.

Well I didn't mean to be obscure, but I spend summers in one town in AZ and Winters in another.  So here it is.  I spend Summers near Show Low, AZ and Winters in the Phoenix Metro area.  Both are in Arizona.   By the way FourPutt  at one time, in the 70s, I lived in Littleton, CO an worked for Martin Marietta.  Nice place and would have stayed there but the Company transferred me to Orlando, FL.

Thank you sir. Not sure why I left that part of the profile blank, but I did. When I went to edit my location I learned I needed to update the rest of the profile as well.

      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.

      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. 🙂
