I want to thank Erik for puttin' up with me the 1st couple years I was here. It took me a bit to "get it", but I think I do now, for the most part anyway. ;-) Just glad to be a small part of the place. Thanks!

Same here.

I think that just goes to further illustrate the important role Forum Leaders play, it's our task to help other new guys "get it".

Here's an example of how we can help: http://thesandtrap.com/t/72905/create-a-golfer-peh-welcome-new-members

Honestly, I don't even remember that kind of stuff. I have no idea what you mean. There have been a lot of users over the last nine years (the tenth anniversary of the forum and the site is in August/September this year).

My only recollection of you is that you've been around for a long time, you like some of the second-tier (in name, not quality) brands, and you have a lot of clubs. You may or may not have been a fitter or worked closely with one in the past. And I could be wrong about most of that stuff. :)

It appears the first iteration of this was shortly after I disappeared the first time. Sorry for letting you all down.

Thanks guys, this is pretty darn cool. I showed my wife my forum leader badge she just looked at me and walked away. She's hard to impress and she hates anything that I do that does not include her.

I had one of those. I got rid of her 8 years ago after 10 years of abuse.... :dance: Mine hated anything that made me happy unless it was her doing it...

She's married to a LEADER!

That's good for her too, right?

    • Day 51: Another long day, so another mirror work day. Again, focused on cleaning up set up and then not straightening the trail leg as much in the backswing. Need to feel like my knees stay a little more bent.
    • Day 595 - 2026-05-19 Got some short game work in today during some lessons. Made a lot of putts too. Without trying. Golfer kept chuckling.
    • Day 15, May 19.  Today, after work (in stages), I hit two dozen practice balls at home.  Slow swings, focusing on the lifting of the arms as per my latest lesson.  
    • Day 259 5-19 Slow work on arms getting more in front. Lots of pause at the top, then rehearsals, then swing. 
    • Day 70 (19 May 26) - weekly 9 hole session with my good friend this morning, however the better session was this afternoon with my grandson.  He put in for nine holes of match style play (we did stroke count as well).  The rules - I had to play from my regular tees but with irons only (no metal woods or hybrids (nothing with head covers)) while he played from the most fwd tees with his full bag.  Was a fun match and watching his competitive juices flowing.  He won the match 1/0 holding the lead as we tied the ninth.  Stroke wise it was a messy nine for me and he beat me by one stroke - not bad for a 10yr old.  Best of all - it was a dream session come true.
