Hi my name is Ed , married and calls Ft. Lauderdale,Fl my hometown. I never really picked up the game of golf till Im in my late teens (17 to be exact)m My dad plays the game eversince I can remember , he taught me the basics as a young buck but I thought the game was boring because i remember standing most of the time when I played with my dad's group when they play. So I never really fell for it in the begining , but back in highschool I played many sports , I was varsity in basketball and football . One season I got injured and the doctors told me to not participate in any of the high impact sports while I recover from my injury , I thought it was going to be a boring year because I was really looking forward to that high you get from competing in a sports event. While walk around the weight training room I met the coach for my schools golf team and he suggested that I go and join his team at the range , I did and from then on I ve been hooked like a snooker chasing those colorful lure. Anyways if any of you guys ever get lost here in my parts of the woods , and you'll need a fourth for your foursome , just PM me Im very much willing. Good day to all of you and good hittin'.

    • Day 64 (13 May 26) - last practice of golf team for the school golf team….got to hit a few balls while working with the kids.  
    • Hi @RetiredOldMan!  I am glad to see you are still playing and having good scores.  I hope that when I am 79, I am not only able to play, but still able to produce as good scores as you have been doing.   I look forward to hearing more of your success and your opinion of the senior flex shafts.
    • Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.
