So, as you can see from my profile, I was a somewhat active member of this forum in late 2008 and early 2009.  At that time I was finishing up college at James Madison university and only had 9 credits (3 classes) my last semester.  Needless to say I had a lot of time to pursue golf.  It also helped that the local course at the time offered a $250 semester pass for students!  I took a few lessons and would play 2-3 times a week.  I was making progress and was on my way to breaking 100 in a round, but failed due to an on course injury - I had a 47 on the front nine, but on the 12th hole I hit a ball off the hosel and it somehow tore up the ring a pinky finger on my left hand...I finished the round with a 6-7 finger grip and shot a 104.

Shortly after that incident I graduated and got a full time job and just didnt have the time (or $) to dedicate to golf.  I am able to play with a buddy about 4 times a year, but my swing keeps getting worse.  I have decided that I need to focus a little more time and efforts onto my swing if I want to enjoy my quarterly golf outings...and if I do maybe I will want to get out there more.  I have been reacclimating myself to the swing and watching a lot of Shawn Clement's youtube stuff.  I am a big fan of his teaching methods as I feel like I can swing a little more naturally using his guidelines.  I took it out to the range and was instantly striking the ball better with my  6 iron, but the 4 still gave me fits.  Gotta keep practicing.

Anyways, just wanted to reintroduce myself!  I am currently living in Maryland and working in D.C.

      I have nothing to add other than I freaking love her swing and I think she's hot as hell and some of my golfing buddies disagree so I fought them

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.

      Hence your Avatar!😜 I drink a lot of water during the day if I’m playing or exercising. I get cramps otherwise.

      If you walk up to a food/drink kiosk at Magic Kingdom and ask the person for a cup of "magic water" they will give you a small cup of Sprite for free. About 3 fingers worth. They don't sell alcohol at MK anymore so I go over to one of the courses while she hangs out there.
