Good afternoon folks.

Only found the forum this morning and it looks to be the most active golf forum I can find.

A bit about myself, Having played golf when I was a youth I stupidly moved away from the sport 18 years ago. Since then I have only played once or twice a year. This year I am joining my first club in years and cannot wait to get back into competitive golf.

 

At one time playing off single figures I am now struggling badly for any form so you may find a my swing video up sooner rather than later.

 

I look forward to getting chatting and re-learning the game that I should never have given up.

Welcome. Looks like you are in quite a spot for golf as well.

I'm sure you find some useful advice as you work to regain form.

Welcome to the forum blue

Like you I gave up golf only to start back up years later. Interestingly, I'm not good but I'm playing better now at an older age than I ever did when I was younger.

I am indeed, All down the west coast here in ayrshire there are some fantastic courses and I always feel blessed to have played most of them. I recently played round the kintyre course at Turnberry for the first time it was a real gem. Sadly the 70mph winds did nothing to help scoring leading to a morale sapping 120 score but a great track none the less.

I spent my youth years playing in troon on the public owned courses. A student of the links!

And to think I was crying the other week over 40 mph gusts knocking my ball down here in Ohio.

I'll get over there one of these days when I rich and better at golf.

I have never experienced wind quite as brutal. Carts racing all over the place, I carry so the bag acting as a sail and blowing me backwards. Still, enjoyable all the same?

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
