Well I finally broke 100, posted a 96 so I'm one happy camper for the year, started last year as a senior taking up golf for the first time in my life and am happy with the progress, dont get me wrong things could always be better but you have to enjoy yourself while your at it. the lessons I have been taking have helped me have an idea of what to expect and have begun to settle me in.

Congratulations. It always feels good when you see yourself progressing. Keep it up.

Thanks for the reply, I think a major lightbulb went off the week leading up to this round. inconsistency was of course my biggest problem and also of course my driver would develope the dreaded banana effect as a round would progress. I finally realized that what happens is I become focused on the green or the flag and do not follow through with rotation and weight shift. I made that a major effort on this day and it paid off, only lost it a few times. Its amazing how wanting to crush the ball towards the green can make you forget everything else. And by the way my international skeet shooting has benefited from playing golf,  funny how things work out.

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
