I was in my back yard working on my swing, when my neighbor started talking to me.  He was telling me that him and his father and started golfing recently and went on to tell me how one day recently he did great and then, later, it all went down hill.  I told him, ' Do you know what that is called?'....... 'golf'.... :)

What are we talking about? Practice ? We're talking about practice, man. We're talking about practice. We're talking about practice. We ain't talking about the game. We're talking about practice, man.

What on earth does this post mean? And from what I can see, the OP was talking about golf, in the "golf talk" forum.

Not a big crossover (no pun intended) of fans between what I was referring to and golf, it seems.

What the hell the race have to do with not liking basketball.  The lack of effort by NBA players in the regular season turns me off to pro. But college, it is 100% every game.  No wonder college basketball is so much more popular.

Apparently you don't understand the meaning of the word "jest". Here, let me look that up for you: "to speak in a playful, humorous, or facetious way; joke."

I'd like to see some hard evidence to back your claim that college basketball is "more popular."

I'm not looking this up but look at ratings for big conference games with top teir teams and NBA regular season games.  I really don't know anyone who watches pro basketball until play offs.

I'm 100% confident that more people follow/watch/enjoy college basketball.  Productivity doesn't go down in offices for the NBA play offs.

      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

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.
