Hey everyone!

Every time I do a Google search for anything related to golf, this forum has come up and I have already reaped many benefits from reading posts, so I decided it was finally time to join in on the fun. As the title says, I'm from Northern California, specifically from the South Bay Area. I've been around the game of golf since I was a kid, but it has only been in the past couple years that I have become more serious about the game and have been trying to improve. I don't have an official handicap as of now, but I am a bogey golfer who shoots in the 90s (trying really hard to dip into the 80s!!). Really looking forward to being a part of this community and hopefully meeting some people to help push my game to the next level. :-)

Are there many South Bay golfers on here? I'm not a great golfer, but I'd love to play with more people.

There are a few of us. I know that there is a Bay Area golfers group here. We were in the groups section. There was talk of a get together but someone would need to plan it, not sure if it was finalized.

      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. 🙂
