Im an expat Brit & recent new US citizen residing in San Francisco. Living the dream of 365 days a year golfing weather - no more winter mats or snow to worry about. Take my golf seriously, some would say to seriously (the wife) but Its a hobby/addiction/compulsion and I love it. With so many courses in Northern California I do not belong to a club and prefer spending my time flitting from course to course. TPC Harding Park is just around the corner from me, and with a residents card the $62 is a steal. Look forward to meeting people in threads and so far I'm enjoying the conversations.

You live out in the Avenues and fogged in? I'm in Dogpatch / Protrero Hill and the sun is out and it has been glorious all day.

No, Noe Valley.  It is gorgeous out.  I went to high school right next to Harding and some days the weather would be completely different from my house to my high school.  I guess you are closer to the courses in the Sunset but Protrero Hill / Mission has the best weather in the city.  I must say that between Harding the two Olympic courses and Cal club this has to be the best collection of quality courses in one area of a small city.

Did you go to Lincoln or SI?

Nice all the way from Pacifica to Santa Clara today. I love all the courses around here even the ones that are not always in good shape such as sharp park.

Sat at my desk trying to figure out how I can get out in the 80's plus temp without alerting people to my lack of availability.

Im thinking a pm round at Metropolitan / Monarch bay or I may even venture up to San Geronimo.

Do you work in the East Bay? If so, you can't really go wrong with Metro or Monarch, especially if there's not much wind out there. I do prefer Monarch though. Haven't played San Geronimo so I can't really comment on that.

Best Regards,
Ryan

I prefer Monarch, but I'm trying to like Metro more. San Geronimo is a nice little course and it's quite a mean little track too. You should try it.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
