Hello all, I'm new as in 5 min ago 8/14/18. I am enthusiastic about the game, and love to gain knowledge from others. I've never taken formal instruction, but was always lucky enough to have friends, relatives, etc who were pros or highly skilled enough to pass on tips to help me. I don't play enough golf to be "really good" but I have talent enough to make most any shot. Consistency is my issue due to not enough repetition. I've never spent more than 20 minutes on a range, just always take dry reps(not sure on terminology). Or swinging in the yard basically, or just swinging without club at any time of the day. I found this to be my best practice on technique in baseball from high school through college. I started to get serious about golf in my early 20's although I had been hacking since I was young. I've been as low as a 6 but currently around 9-10 handicap. Took a hiatus from golf to the pint where I've averaged no more than 3 rounds a year since about 2013. That is all changing now though, as I have the "itch" again. Enough blabbering, I'm glad to be here and hope I can add value to the community.

Welcome, enjoy your 'rebirth' into golf

Carry on my wayward drive

There'll be pars when you are done

Lay your weary wedge to rest

Don't you shank no more

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
