  1. 1. If you had a magic pill that lets you become good enough to compete on tour but you'd miss out on being able to play with your friends and family, would you take it?

    • I'll take the magic pill. Give me the PGA Tour and the money at the cost of playing golf with my friends and family.

    • Let me keep enjoying golf the way I already do.

I'll take Option A all day long.  Being in the top 0.01% of my profession, getting to do something I love, not working for "the man", being set for life financially?  Sheeeet...f&#@ playing golf with my friends and family, I'll just take 'em all sailing, haha.  :-P

Lol, exactly. My family doesn't even like golf. They do, however, like traveling, which they could do a lot more of if I made that kind of money.

A - being a pro would be cool.

My family and friends have a lot more in our lives than just golf.  We'd have plenty of things to do.

If the money definitely comes with the pill, I'd have to take it. 

No guaranteed money, I'd probably forget about it.

This was easy option A all day. I only have a handful of friends/family that golf in the first place. But if golf was a family thing I'd have to give it some thought.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
