Did I not say that this was a complete troll from start to finish?

FWIW, this user is the same person: http://thesandtrap.com/u/38774/coloradogolfer . Which is why I gave them both the same avatar.

There is nothing unbelievable about that.  I was 5-4 at age 11.  I will try and go tonight and check my baby book, but I am pretty sure at age 14 I was already 5-10 or 5-11.  (Am 6-3 now)

The only thing unbelievable about the guy is his attitude.

It's pretty easy for a forum admin to track IP addresses.

Yes you are. If you want to keep denying it I can just ban the both of you.

Go for it then, he probably just works for the school district I'm at too, or is a student there, and has a laptop set up to its proxy. If you believe me to be the same as hat troll, then please ban me, by all means. It's not going to be nice around here anyways If you are seen as the same as a troll...

The evidence against you goes WAY beyond that.

Okay.

I don`t think this is that much of a stretch and there are a couple of ways it could work out-

1.  A guy who averages 4 to 6 over par on par 70-72 courses with a course ratings around 66 to 68.

2.  A guy who "averages" 4 to 6 over par on his good days with course ratings a stroke or so less than par.

The lad maybe having a gentle brag, and maybe isn't the best of company out on the course but he's only a 14 yr old lad, not a beer swilling belching and farting redneck. Some of you need to go and have a good look at yourselves in the mirror...

Flame away guys, its about all some of you are good at.

If my young son came on an internet board lying, boasting and trolling, I'd hope he was run off by the membership.  I wouldn't want people patronizing him and encouraging that behavior.

On another note, I'd love to play golf at altitude someday.  I'd like to see how much distance it truly adds to my drive.

    • 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.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • 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. 
    • 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.
