Hi,
I just found this site a few days ago and am hoping it turns out to be a helpful and fun place to visit. I live in the high country of Arizona (Prescott) so am not playing much right now but we have a pretty long season and beautiful summers - so if any of you travel to play you might consider this area. I'm a weekend duffer and enjoy all the new equipment reviews - especially the ones provided by the end users. Hope to make some new friends here........Mike

No I haven't been to Crown King. Don't do much 4 wheeling anymore. If you do happen to get in the area look me up and maybe we'll go whack a few balls, although it looks like you may be a better whacker than I am. Actually we're a little over 5000 ft so I guess that would account for my occassional 300 yd drive.

Mike I am also a duffer with a 9 hdcp after beating on balls for 70 years. I was a member on a national championship team in the Netherlands in 1964 before the computer was invented. I enjoy people trying to beat up on a 74 year old man and trying to releave me of my savings. I am willing to play you straight up. Just tell me how much you want to win. In the mean time I am trying to revolutionize the game of golf by making the game easier, more exciting, lowering scores and improving the pace of play. Sounds like a pie in the sky. What I do is provide the correct aim line to the hole on each of the greens. As i get more familiar with the Internet and these forums I hope to share more about my ideas and look forward to meeting people who might be interested in improving the player development and retention of golf.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
