First, 'm sorry for not posting more, I do a lot ore reading then I do posting. I know the site wants more contributions and I'm going to try to improve on that.

I've been looking forward to this all year. Every Dec I go to the Cochella Valley for 6 days of golf. I arrive tomorrow. Golf starts Sunday when I play my yearly blood match with one of my best friends at Indian Springs.

Monday my brother will come into town and we are playing Silver Rock. He may stick around an extra day and play a round at  different course on Tuesday. Wed,-Fri. I'm wide open and will play a few of the other courses in the valley. A full report of all courses I play will follow when I get home. If anyone would like to get together for a round I'd be up for that, (I'm an 18 unofficial handicap). Just send me a mssg here.

Golf is like being married to a beautiful woman that can cook, change a flat tire and never turns you down. But   just for fun she slaps you around in public.

Well guys and gals I'm back. This year was better then ever. I was only able to get in 5 rounds in 6 days due to a car issue on one day. Also weather was coming in over the pass back to San Diego so I left on Friday after noon vs. Saturday.

What can I say about the Cochella Valley you haven't already heard. I played Indian Springs twice, Silver Rock once and Indian Canyons twice. The pictures are of Indian Canyons, this course is now my favorite of the valley with green fees at $75.00 in December it is also one of the best values I've found in the years I've been going there.

Anyway on to the pictures, I'm not trying to make any one jealous but if I do, well that  is just a bonus *Big Goofy Smile Here*

oops, it rained a little on the final day. The rain DID NOT dampen the condition or the fun had.

    • Sad tale.  Both the A's and Raiders.  IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams.  But that's the world we live in.   DAY 3:  30-min range session with irons and wedges.  Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂
    • Backswing: Body is responsible for taking the club around. Arms are responsible for making the club go up.  Downswing: The process is reversed. Weight Forward So, your arms need to do stuff. Set up to the ball. Do not raise your arms at all. Rotate your body as you would in the swing. You will notice your hands stay down near your right hip. So, how does the club get up? Your arms raise it up. You can't take your arms out of the swing. What you are describing might be more of a feel, but it also might not be correct.
    • It depends on what you mean by "while the core remains still" I wouldn't consider his core "remaining still" here, DJ's abs, belly button, and belt buckle have rotated almost 90 degrees by the top of the backswing. Those components of his core then have to rotate/uncoil on the downswing. Far from remaining still IMO.
    • It’s going to change but your basic setup feel should be about the same. Your body kind of adjusts to length and lie angle of the club. You’ll want to pay attention more to ball position as you change clubs more than how bent over you are. I understood what you meant from what your wrote.
    • Oh I probably was thinking the wrong thing or the wrong way when I typed the golf swing was more of a body swing (in my mind).  The in my mind part probably should have said in my opinion or based on what I have read.  Just meant the body needs to be involved more than the hands and swinging the arms while the core remains still.
