Hey there. Thanks for having me on The Sand Trap.

My Avatar is a pic of me and Hank Haney from 1987. I won a Golf Illustrated contest that sent me to PGA West for a week of lessons with Hank. He made a big point out of helping me understand why the ball does what it does, and goes where it goes. I didn't know it then, but he was giving me more than a week of mere lessons. He was giving me an education that would last for the next 20 years.

I play out of Scotch Plains, NJ, some decent county courses. I play a lot in Maryland with my son. Just got a set of TM LT2's off eBay and love them!

See you around this place. :)

Welcome to the board. My other residence besides Korea is Watchung. I haven't been to enough courses in the area but plan on going to Warrenbrook in a week with my father.

Your avatar is awesome and some people would have killed for that opportunity.

Welcome to the board. That picture is just too cool. If I had spent a week with Hank Haney in 1987, I wonder where I'd be now It's cool that you play with your son. I wish my dad played.

I am new to this fourm and looking for some quality golfers to play with in Northern Jersey. I mostly play at Fladners due to its convenience and good fees, but am always looking for new challenges!

Hey, EGS.

Welcome! I grew up in Flanders and used to play Flanders Valley as they were building it. Cost $5 for the only 9 holes they had at that time. I raised my son on those courses. Love 'em!

I live about 1-1/2 hours away now, but my son and I were just talking about going up for a reunion round. If we do, I'll shout out to ya.

I used to spend a lot of time in Chester, too. (Grew up in Succasunna) Had a girl there once, and I acted at the theatre there. Love that Turkey Farm, too. Can you still go up to the kitchen door, give a knock, and buy a rack from the chef for $2? (Gawd...I sound like Grampa Simpson!)

Cya,

TS

TS,


Not too good on the local knowledge as I am a Westcoast transplant (I know, I am crazy). Let me know when you are up this way.

      Too Old ?

      By Shindig · Posted

      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.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      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)

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.
