Hi guys,

 

I've been a reader of this forum for a couple of weeks now and finally decided to be more than just a silent reader :)
A couple of words about myself:

I'm 27, made my first golf shots at the age of 12, living in the Southern half of Germany and I currently play a handicap of 0. I'm really eager to get out there and I'd like to get +1 in the next months (right now it is actually snowing here -.-)

 

All the best,

Chris

Hi there,

my home course is Nürnberg. It has hosted some national championships, but no tour events. It's quite tricky, as basically every hole is a forest aisle ;)

Gruess Gott!

                 I was head pro at Ansbach and later at Dinkelsbuehl. Have played Reichswald many, many times back in the nineties. Joe Goernet was the pro and Richard Taylor was his assistant ( is he still there?) I taught several of the juniors back then including Bernd Ritthammer, also played with Stefana Lehmeier. Some guys who may still be there are Conny Wagner, Dirk Bader.

Hi Martyn,

Rich Taylor indeed is still there, though I have never worked with him. Conny Wagner now is president of the club in Fürth, and I don't know Dirk Bader :)

I played Furth Monteith for many years. Reichwald once. I lived in Nuremberg several times in 70s, 90s, and by Koenigstein/Vileck a few yrs back. Played Heidelberg a lot also.

I played there when Americans owned the course. I recognize Conny's name.

      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).
