Hello everyone. Found this site while Googling around and was glad to find a golf web forum. Have been playing close to 50 years (I'm 63), so you'd think I'd know more about the game. Well, I guess I know some, but can always learn more. I was a near scratch player in my early to mid 20's, but then life intervened! Now I'm retired and I want my game back! I want to at least get back to single digits.

Welcome fellow Ohioans... I'm originally from Cleveland, but moved to Cinci in 94.  Good luck on getting your swing back. I have played that long too, but never got my game to that level. Life intervened way too much :-)

    • 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. 
    • 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.
