Now that putting is banned, I'll have to decide between adding another wedge or hybrid.

You made my day! :)

Okay, well... I'll not actually miss the putting, that's for sure!  This should definitely speed up play.  But I do hope they will come up with a simple way to determine closest to the pin for match play competitions.

Um...  You don't think they'll reduce "par" by 36 strokes now do you?

That is a bad reason to support such a ban.

I've only read the thread title, but man am I glad they've banned putting! Just get it on the green and we're good!

Putting is the strongest part of my game but this could still benefit me. I generally putt sub-30 (occasional much higher on a crap day) but if they drop par back by 36 strokes I think that is a net gain of +/- 6 stroke for me? Or maybe not, I've gone temporarily math dumb plus I'm cooking dinner so I can't really think about it. But hey, shit yeah, let's dump putting!

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
