Hello everyone.  Been lurking around a while and finally saw a thread that I might be qualified to  respond to; forgot title but it's about your one item in your swing.edit,,,1 practice item

I am just returning to golf, for a couple of months now.  Easing back into it.  Been hitting the range, bought a net, and practicing chipping in back yard. Couple of scrambles and shot a 90 on the only round of the year in mid February, first time out in a couple of years.  Was 12 over after 7 holes, finally come around a little.

62 years of age.  In 2007 I won my club championship.  Not particularly impressive, the competition wasn't real strong at the time.  Shot a 69 and 70 for the two days.

Have 1 hole-in-one to my credit; didn't even get to see it go in....was a par four, short, 317 yard over a slight crest. The fairways are like concrete, so don't let the distance aw you.

 

Anyway, won't be posting a whole lot any way soon., I'm still working out the kinks.  Would like to say reading the "5 Keys" thread a little helped me a bit.  I don't know if this is part of the "control the sweet spot" or not, but I visualize swing the sweet spot through the ball with my driver and it usually, more times than not by a lot, is very solid.

Need to clarify.  After the 2007 year, I promptly quit playing golf.  Didn't play another round for at least 5 years.

Starting a couple of years back, I have participated in a couple of company scrambles.

    • Day 9, May 13.  After work, I went to my practice room for a dozen balls (two sessions of a half dozen each).  I may do more later, but I wanted to make sure I posted here too.  Same priority as yesterday, with the arms lifting. 
    • Day 263 6-13 Setup alignment stick station for hands off body drill. Worked on wrist arch as well. Working on not hitting the stick 😀
    • Day 64 (13 May 26) - last practice of golf team for the school golf team….got to hit a few balls while working with the kids.  
    • 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.
    • 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)
