Not enough variety in the answers for me to be honest. I did it anyway and came up with 32. Not sure what that means but it wouldn't change how I do anything.

44.

Practice what I'm lousy at typically means I'm doing a lot of drills...

After I'm way down, glad I play with guys who are more inconsistent than me...

Rain ... it happens... but probably not to me in 17 years, because Marshals chase you off the course if any chance of lightning ... and the weather over the years has changed so it is more violent in my area.

Tried it again, and received a a 34, what ever that means. Is there a chart some where?

I usually practice the the tougher shots when ever I can. I don't need any surprises on the course.

I don't see myself taking lessons ever again. Did not take that many to begin with.

I have been down in several matches and managed to come out on top. Those are fun. Even if I lose, the match was still fun. I like the competition.

I am pretty steady in my scoring, regardless of how well/poorly I am playing.  A high scoring round is a learning score for me. Gives me an idea on what part of my game I am weak in.

Bad weather happens. Bad weather for me is a 2 club wind.

A pre-shot routine is a must. For me it protects against slow play.

I enjoy pressure shots in tournaments. I always volunteer on the first hole to tee off first when our group can't make up our minds. If my partner is down and out, I look forward to the attempted save. Competitive value is a good thing in everything.

A 3' putt is a test of past practice, a mental toughness.

Seemed to me some of the questions, although worded differently, were too closely related.

28.  Some Qs were hard because the only 'tournaments' I play are scrambles.

3W: Snake Eyes

7W: Snake Eyes (IDK why i love this club)

Putter: Versa White #1

Ball: Pro V1x *used and cheap/free*

34. Fun little thing that doesn't mean much. I don't come back when I am way down because I am never way down. I also don't have playing partners so I just went with what I would think was neutral.

Well I got 36, which says I'm a 5 hc! I'm actually 16, So I'm either doing something good, or doing something bad! Or both'

      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).
