Hi everyone. My name is Don and I’m a chili-dippin, skull-hittin hacker. If I’m not hitting banana balls I’m hitting worm burning duck hooks. My swing has been compared to an old woman chasing a mouse out of the house with a broom. I can’t count the number of times I’ve sworn I will never pick up a club again and then…

Then I hit the shot. You know the one; it feels good all the way to your heels. It flies pure, just like you envisioned it would before you swung. You watch it draw gently around the fairway bunker to give you a nice easy 7 iron to the green. Or the bunker shot that comes out high, lands soft and trickles down to the hole for an easy tap in. That one shot just sucks you right back in and you realize you’re hooked.

So after hitting that one shot last Memorial Day weekend I’ve decided to stop goofing off and learn to play the game the right way. My goal is to break 90 by next summer and be consistently in the 80s by fall, but first I need to break 100! I intend to reward myself with a driver when I break 100 and a set of irons when I break 90 3 times.

I look forward to swapping lies with all of you.

BTW, I typed this very slowly just in case the foursome in front of me last Sunday is reading this.

      Too Old ?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Hi @RetiredOldMan!  I am glad to see you are still playing and having good scores.  I hope that when I am 79, I am not only able to play, but still able to produce as good scores as you have been doing.   I look forward to hearing more of your success and your opinion of the senior flex shafts.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.
