Hello everyone It's a while already that I am crowling in this Forum, a lot of helpfull threads and tips in it. Just a question of time I'd subscribe to and here I am now. Started playing Golf last september (2012) with a friend of mine, got addicted and worked on my swing the whole winter long. Played some tournaments this year and went to HC 15. Going to a pro once per month. I was reading a lot about golf this year, specially about mentel things, I am really interested with the question how to improve this side of the game. Books like "Golf is not a game of perfect", "The little red book", "My short game", some Zacharias (not a fan of it), and nowadays "Zen-Golf" are part of my Golf-collections. So I hope that sometime I'll be able to contribute with some tips too. So, engoy your day and we'll see us on the greens. If there are some swiss guys out there PM me :-) Cu, C.

Welcome!!

Where in Switzerland?  I used to live in Yverdon, about 50 years ago, when I was a child.

Thx! Actually I live near to bern. I went to Yverdon / Chamblon for my Military-Service. I do know the GC Payerne and the GC Vuissens, both of them are nice places. Have a nice day.

My grandparents lived in Yverdon (grandfather from Oulens-sous-Echallens and grandmother from Avenches), that is where we went after we got out of Cuba in 1959.  My mother was Swiss, my sister and I received our citizenship in 1988 when the laws were changed.  Used to spend summer there in the late 1960s and early 1970s.  Once in a while I get over there with work, either in Geneva or Basel as we use Jet Aviation extensively.  Have not been back to Yverdon since 2009, will get back within the next year.

Have a great day!!

Best regards,  Frank

    • Context:  I am on vacation, so I don't have access to my indoor practice room, and I won't for about a month. Day 12 (August 22).  Today's weather was not one where even I was going to be outside.  For whatever reason, I didn't do the putting drill today.  There was a drill I remembered from this site (the article was something akin to "five things you can do to improve that don't require talent") that involved having an iron along the back from stance, moving to backswing and holding, then moving to forward swing and holding.  So I did that for five minutes today. I also spent 90 minutes at the gym;  my main motivation for getting stronger is golf related (and I really should get back to Fit For Golf  specific workouts;  I'm not sure when I lost that habit, a poor choice on my part that I did).  Funny story, I spent 20 minutes on the Stairmaster today at the gym (the rest was weights and rests), a device I started with shortly after I took up golf because I read something about it in a Butch Harmon book.  I should be following FFG Mike's fitness advice though, not some memory of someone else.  
    • Day 8 8-22 Worked on backswing length and getting some speed in backswing. Recorded swings. Was happy with practice session tonight. 
    • Day 325 - 2025-08-22 Practiced for almost an hour after cleaning my cabinets to account for the new GEARS cameras and helping @OBlum for a bit. Exaggerating the same old things.
    • Yea, faster greens = shorter putting stroke. You can be more accurate.  Really, I think people who struggle with distance control struggle just as much on slow greens as fast greens. I've seen people blast putts 10-FT past the hole on 8 or 9 STIMP as much as 11-12 STIMP.  I prefer faster greens. Usually means the putting surface is better and again, shorter putting stroke.
