I can't tell is this was meant to be serious or sarcastically humorous. Either way, you failed.

You completely blew it. Just know you let your teammates, your coaches, your parents, your friends and your school down. Good luck sleeping at night with that on your conscience

That's not even funny...apologize.

I thought it was a clearly sarcastic joke.  Lighten up?

If so, it could have been made more clear that it was a joke and it could have been quite a bit funnier. When younger people come here asking for advice, adults should not be berating them or leaving them uncertain if they are being blasted or merely the participant in some good-natured, if poorly expressed, humor.

Guys, I don't need an apology. It was a joke... and even if it wasn't I don't need an apology, and I don't know why I would..  Oh, and yeah, our team is pretty bad, so I easily made the team.... but I played well, and It really doesn't bother me if people want to say stuff, (which wasn't the case here)..  I shot a 40 on the front, and I just got a little anxious, and ahead of myself and had a bad back.. But I played better than a 92..  btw, lighten up guys..  and thx to barbm12thtee for defending me/sticking up... I don't need to hear people say that I shot a good round or a bad round because I know what I shot, and I know what I can do to improve that....

Okay, no problem. I don't know your psyche and like Wiseguy, I didn't know if you needed ego stroking. I'm a mom with a 19yr. old son and that's what I do.

      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.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
