Hello,

My name is Casey Fivecoat and  I live in University Place, Washington.  I have golfed off an on throughout my life, but never took it seriously until 2 years ago.  In 2015 I posted a whopping 20 rounds, establishing my high handicap.  In 2016 I joined the men's club at my local muni and posted 60 rounds (including a couple of golf-weekends) and knocked 3 strokes off my handicap.  I also won low net for my division in one tourney, played a few others.  My two goals for last year were to get to a 15 handicap and break 80.  My handicap is 14.4, (CH 15).  I shot 80 twice in the summer.

I am also trying to get my 8 year old son into golf, I have taken him to the executive course at my course, and enrolled him in golf camp last summer. He seemed to enjoy it.

I am seriously addicted to golf, I was jones-ing last week so I went and played in 32 degree weather on sunday.  I hope to play more than 70 rounds this year.  My other goals are to break 80, get my handicap down to 11, and win 2 men's club tournaments.   Also I "need" to buy a new driver, thinking about M2.

I have browsed this site a little, look forward to talking about golf!  I am very interested in clubs and balls and all other gear.  My setup right now is Taylormade Burner+ Driver 9.5, Taylormade Jetspeed 3W 13.5 3H 19, TAYLORMADE R9 4-PW, AW, SW, Cleveland 60 wedge, Ping Anser II putter.  Project A balls are my preference.

You can add that list of equipment to a signature:  https://thesandtrap.com/how-to/add-signature/

Basically, take a look around the "How To" drop down above and see how things sorta work around here.

Under the "Info" drop down above, there's a whole bunch of other stuff about the site, and some good links to golf instruction. 

We are similar handicaps I think, so I look forward to hearing about your game. See ya

Glad you specified University Place.  Us good people of Michigan would have thought you were a Yooper.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      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)

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      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.
