Talk to somebody on the staff about your skill level, if you like some action (or not) and if you walk or ride. They will be able to at least get you started with a decent group because they know their audience. Sign up for tournaments.

They can be very cliquish and filled with politics. Just a heads up going in.

For me, I joined a club when I just took the game up and played off 28. I was terrified at the thought of playing with guys who are off low figures and that'd I'd hold them up etc. I've only came across one guy who was rude the whole round and made it clear I shouldn't be in his group but every other low handicapper (the lowest being 3) has been great and friendly. I've came down from 28 to 13 in 3 seasons and a lot has came from the club pro lessons and the guys I've played with in a medal. I've managed to scoop 3 medals and a club trophy in that time which has helped me to see my game to be as good if not better than some of theirs. Get stuck in ASAP and you won't regret it.

      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.
