Hello everyone, I just got back into golf last summer... Golfed for around 11 months back in 2007-2008 when I lived in SoCal.

Ive got a bad back, bad legs and arthritis and or tendinitis in every joint but I have to keep moving or I will end up laying back down and not getting up again. 10 years of mostly laying in bed has made me weak and over weight but Im hoping to change that over time. I havent played since it got cold here but I try to get to the range and hit balls to stay limber.

Thanks Vinsk... I wish I did anything slow and with small steps, LOL

I figure I will hurt no matter what so I go to the range and pound balls for about an hour, go home and take Advil and Tylenol and lay down for a few hours :~(

I just want it to get warm and dry so I can get back out on the golf course to play

Welcome to TST. Great golf is spoken here. 

I am familiar with your part of Oregon. Nice country up there.  I grew up in Seaside. 

I have a relative who lives in the Salem area. He takes me to the "Creekside" (?) golf course when ever I am in the area. Pretty nice course.  Most courses in Oregon are pretty nice. 

Yeah, when we all get older, it's best we keep moving as much as we can. The golf game is a good way to stay mobile. Just don't do too much too quick. I might suggest to get out and walk as much as you can. Walking does wonders for one's physical abilities. 

In My Bag:
A whole bunch of Tour Edge golf stuff...... :beer:

      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.

      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.
