I was reading through sean_miller's swing thread, when I came across this comment (specifically the second part, I'm not going to question s_m's age): [quote name="johnthejoiner" url="/t/53509/my-swing-sean-miller#post_650878"] For some strange reason i thought you would be older but its good to see a homemade golf swing [/quote] What, exactly, does this mean? Just from reading/remembering his comments over the last few years, sean_miller has been to more lessons that I have (I've only been to 1), but I'd be extremely surprised if anyone said my swing was "homemade."

Yeah, I took some lessons just before my 25th season of playing, because if you wait any longer those swing flaws are hard to shed.

I've seen enough of your swing to suggest (out loud even) that even though it's not "home made", it looks like you had some game before you knew why the ball tends to go where you aim it. It's your swing and you seem to sort of own it.

Basically, if someone suggests a change in your set up or swing, are you a guy who says "yeah, that's something I'll try to work on", or do you ask, "that's interesting, but what flaw in my current shot making is this modification attempting to address?"

So...if you've never taken lessons how would you describe your swing or got to how you swing today?

    • Its way past time both tours  have  major  penalties for  slow  play. I  hate  it when they say" This group is  on the  clock". Big damn deal. Issue  penalties. Maybe Hull is a  bit too harsh but  its time a slew  of  2 stroke  penalties start  being  issued.     Charley Hull is fed up with slow play on the LPGA, so she offered a ‘ruthless’ solution “I’m quite ruthless, but I said, ‘Listen, if you get three bad timings, every time it’s a tee shot penalty; if you have three of them, you lose your Tour card instantly.’ I’m sure that would hurry a lot of people up, and they won’t want to lose their Tour card. That would kill the slow play, but they would never do that.” Who knows if that will work. But if it does not, maybe the PGA Tour should adopt Hull’s idea. The LPGA should, too, or at least assess penalty strokes for slow play. Five-hour rounds for a final group on Sunday is unacceptable and a quick way to lose interest and engagement from fans.

    • A hair under 190. It was pretty downhill, though, so I think we were playing between 180-185 to the pin. My 6 iron went 187 according to shot scope and ended up 18 feet away.
    • That's a tough pin on 14 at TR, had to make the hole play much longer, how far was that shot? I've only played that hole with a front pin.
    • No, but I spent (marginally) less time in the trees at Southern Pines, so it definitely played wider for me 😆. It definitely felt wider.
