Just wanted to say hi !!

Just a little background. Play golf in highschool and some college. Pretty much quit when I was about 23, call it burnout/fustration.

Picked it up again when I hit my mid-30's. Now I'm 40 and trying to get my new "old-man" swing in order. Can't just grip it and rip it any more

I love playing for a few reasons.

1) I love being outside
2) I really enjoy playing with my friends, it seems ti be the only time we can get together.
3) Nothing like sinking a putt on 18 and being able to talk smack on your co-workers/friends

Wow someone replied

I play alot at paradise point ( Smithville ), both courses are nice up there. Tiffany Greens is a great couse but get your green fee on Last Minute Golfer, its nice but not $80 nice. Sunflowers Hills is a fav, takes me back to my high school days plus they have stupid cheap green fees. Shoal Creek is one of the best in the city. My golf leage plays out you way at Falcon Ridge.

I really need to get down your way and hit Sycamore Ridge and Prairie Highlands. Never have played either.

I haven't played Paradise Pointe in a few years. I have Tiffany Greens on my list to play this year too and I probably will book the tee times through Last Minute Golfer.

I haven't played Sycamore Ridge yet but I want to this year. I've played Prairie Highlands several times -- it's a great course and I think you would probably like it.

I'm trying to play about 6-8 new courses (for me) this year. I am also trying to hit some of the courses I haven't played in a few years 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. 🙂

      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).
