My name is Rebecca and I am 22 years old. I've just arrived back in Mariposa, Ca., in the Sierra foothills. I have been living in Girvan in Scotland for the last 15 years and have unfortunately picked up a few bad habits, the worst being my Scottish twang (accent). My dad was based over there and of course that pretty much meant I was.

I am really looking forward to getting into the golf scene here, once I get properly unpacked and my clubs arrive with the rest of our worldly goods. I was checking out this site yesterday and it really got me in the mood. Some great posts about Stack and Tilt, Bobby Jones swing, an so on.

I obviously have not yet played here but played plenty in Caledonia, with Turnberry and Royal Troon not far from my village. They love to talk about golf in Scotland and I spent many evenings in our clubhouse enjoying great old Scottish tales about ghosts and demons that haunt the game. It could get quite scary at times. I'm sure they were just picking on me because I was a female in their very male club.

Anyway I am glad to join this forum and hope to retell some of my experiences in that ancient golf land.

Thanks for having me.

Welcome to the Sand Trap.  As the father of a 14 year old daughter who I wish took more of an interest in golf, it's great to see women involved in the game.  I also voted 0-50... and I too look forward to stories about Scotland.

    • 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. 
    • 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).
    • Day 12 - 2025-12-31 Limited time today, and heavy rains here. 5-10 minutes of mirror work for full swing, working on trail side.
