Hello from Salt Lake! I have been playing golf since 7 (30 years). I moved from San Antonio to the Salt Lake area about 8 years ago. I've been enjoying the area ever since...even picked up snowboarding.

I play in men's associations and UGA tournaments, so I usually have a tournament to play Saturdays this time of year and the weekly 9 hole tournaments.

There are some great courses around here. Here is a link to a round I played yesterday at Hobble Creek. There are pictures of the course and of the creek that I was fly fishing in after playing. This will give you an idea of the area and how I like to spend my time off this time of year.

I spent the past year making the Web site/software in the above link. I'll try to not plug the site more if it's not allowed here .

I started using the golf forums on the Net this spring. It's been pretty fun. This is apparently a large site and I look forward to getting involved here.

Groovy! So he can verify that you really, actually have a 27 handicap, right Tony?

28, maybe

I haven't met MediaGuru yet other than on the golf forums lately. MediaGuru's Hooked on Golf is a cool golf blog. We both have golf forums, too.

I'm sure MediaGuru would agree that the golf here outstanding...awesome courses and great values.

Yes Eric 27. At least that is what it feels like sometimes.

OK Jim. What do you say you and I play a round in the next week?

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂
