Hello everyone !
 

34 years of age, new to golf, and looking to go Pro here in the next few years.

 

LOL

 

But seriously, new to the game of golf, although have watched it for years on tv. Am an ex-athlete, so am looking for a newer challenge. And uhhh ... yeah ... definitely have found it in golf lol. Really, REALLY respect and admire the Pros, as well as many of you who have, more or less, nailed this game down. 

 

With that being said, thank you for having me.

Welcome to the Sand Trap.  This is quite a place of information and help if you want it.  Plus, there are fellow golfers you can meet in the mid-Michigan area if you'd like.

 

P.S.  I don't qualify as a great source of information and help about the golf swing.

Nailed the game down, that's a funny one. Sometimes I think I am in the coffin, and the game is nailing me down. lol

At any rate, welcome to the site. You can learn alot about the game here. :tumble:

      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.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      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. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
