Just joined and thought the best place to start is with the welcome forum :-)

Looking forward to getting to know you all. Any questions and please fire away and you never know, we may see you on the fairways (or rough) soon.

Phil & Gareth

Hi @Abu3baid, yes there's two of us who are taking on the SearchForeScratch. Phil and Gareth, we'll try and remember to post our names at the bottom of each post we make. We're unsure of the rules of the forum so not sure how much promoting off what we are doing is allowed lol.

We'll try and get that cleared up soon

Regards

Gareth

Nice to have you Gareth!  I think they have a sponsors program where you can pay a nominal fee to promote your product.. 

good luck!

As a moderator here, I'd say that if you use your common sense and don't constantly promote yourselves (or some related product), then all will be good. Come and join lots of conversations on the golf itself, and you'll likely find kindred spirits who will naturally want to quietly learn more about you. Your site is likely a simple google search away, and that's fine.

If you start pushing an angle, mentioning yourselves at every turn, not getting involved in other peoples' stories, and linking to your site constantly, that will not only turn folks off, but it will push the envelope of what is tolerated.

We've had a bunch of people over the years share their golf journeys. Golf improvement is endlessly fascinating for so many of us. The key is to be here on this forum for the golf and the camaraderie- not just in it to advance your enterprise. Hope that makes sense.

Yes, I've perused your site. Lots of good topics. For example:

Your latest blog entry on the mental game show that you might have a contribution here in one of these threads:

 

Your second most recent entry on Gareth's progress talks about lots, but I thought the bit on plateaus and finding your next thing to work on might be something you'd care to share here:

Anyway, welcome! I'm not "commanding" you to share in those posts, of course, but just wanted to demonstrate that there are tons of folks discussing things related to what you're discussing. Stick to the topics, show care to not be self-promoting, and you'll likely generate some interest from people here.

    • 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)

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.
