Dude, I post in mine almost daily. Post away.

I'll post like 4 videos in a week and they all look almost identical...but I can go back and see/read things and re-remember something I've forgotten or neglected. That's what this is for.

When you say that maintaining bent knees can cause lumbar issues, do you mean immediate problems or long term? Should I be concerned that I create this much of a shoulder turn without straightening my knee or do I just have an unusual amount of flexibility?

Does your back hurt now?

I think you're just a flexible dude, if it doesn't hurt now you should be fine. Also it looks like your knee still decreases in flex somewhat, we don't want it to lose all it's flex.

BTW your tailbone is too far behind you at address

Whoops i posted that in the wrong thread

I moved it from the Myth thread to this one

Ohhhh ok thanks I was really confused lol. Does my tailbone being too far behind me mean I'm squatting to much?

No, knee flex at address looks fine.

I was making some natural swings today like I'd do on the course and hit a lot of good shots right where I wanted them to go. I think I've made some progress keeping the club in front of me because I hit my first pull in years about a third of the way through the bucket lol

Check out this drill, will help you sequence the arms with the pivot.

So I should work on keeping my elbows as close as I can during my swing? Sorry I'm having trouble figuring out what i should take from that video. I get kinda lost when explanations are really technical lol

Your swing gets very long on the backswing, makes it hard to time things on the downswing. So rather than have the arms lift excessively, you'll keep the upper part of your right arm on your torso.

The tee or glove in your right arm pit will make sure that when your backswing stops, your arm swing will also stop. Things will be more in sync on the downswing instead of having the arms trail the pivot which leads to contact and path issues.

When you do it correctly it's going to feel like you're making a half backswing. Just wanted to warn you ;-)

I am finding a lot of similarities between our swings. You do a great job with your knee action. I'm pretty envious. I saw a couple things that you do with your right knee that I'm going to try myself.

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.

      Womens League .Golf Top Level Domain Name

      By iacas ·

      I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
