To change things up we decided to play a course in the next town over Sunday, had the 7:30 tee. Perfect day.

Anyway, so I pitch up on to #4, walk up mark my ball and go to tend the flag.

After my buddie putts, it's my turn, I walk back over to where my ball should be a can't find my mark. I'm using one of those standard small-sized plastic marks, cause I left my normal on at home. (Doh!)

Anyway I'm looking, and the other guys come over. The greens haven't been mowed yet so you can see the tracks of the ball rolling in the dew, so I traced my pitch roll and think it should be in spot "A". There is no mark anybody in our fore some can see, so they agree to let me putt from spot "A".

I put my ball down, step back and look at the line. Then I step up to putt and what do I see 18" from my ball? You guessed it, my mark. Now I'm kinda freaked out, because I SWEAR it wasn't there :30 seconds before that, and so do all the guys in my group.

One of the guys in the group things the green must be haunted. I'm starting to think he may be right!

FWIW - I holed the putt (about 16') for par.
I've spent most of my life golfing - the rest I've just wasted.

I'm guessing you either stepped on it and it was stuck to your shoe, or it was stuck to the bottom of your putter, then came off as you were getting lined up. With those little plastic marks, they can stick to stuff very easily when wet because they have so little weight to them.

Nope, checked both. AND if it just dropped down there is no way it would have been stuck all the way in, you have to push down on it to make it sit flush.

      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).
