retgi

jacas, I'm 65 retired and hit my first golf ball less than two years ago. I almost gave it up within the first six months when I stumbled across S&T.; Bought the book and DVD set and a few weeks later I was much more consistent and actually made a hole-in-one!. I'm self taught and would like to improve and break ninety with SnT. Can you recommend any SnT instructors in the Ocala or Tampa Bay areas as I'm right in the middle in Homosassa....thank you....

Got a hole in one this past friday on the 5th hole, par 3, at World Woods in Brooksville, Fl. Still I only shot a 44 on their short course but the hole in one felt super good! I doubt my handicap will ever get much better since I'm such a late starter but I love the game anyway...

I haven't monitored my 6i swing speed.

I've used the yellow and orange balls and prefer orange as they're easier to find.

I went to the local flea market a few months ago and got over 500 balls for $18.00 and gave half to one of my golf buddies. After washing them in my garage sink there were maybe dozen that weren't good enough for my bag. By the way, being a newbie I do lose 2 or 3 every time I go out but I don't look long for them at all....

I'm relatively new to golf and a high handicapper so I needed something to give me instant feedback on my swing. I've had the 3baysgsa for about six weeks now and found it to be a very reliable indicator of my swing. It shows just about anything you'd need to analyze and correct your swing flaws and measures swing speed, ball speed too. You can select just about any club with it. I chose it over some of the others out there due to it plugging right into to end of the grip. You never even know it's there. Just line up the little arrow on the device in line with the club face. I carry an android phone in my back pocket and it records via bluetooth instanly. I give it 5 stars....

I'm 64 and a newcomer to golf and have played only ten months now. I was averaging only 170 yards on my drives so decided to try this LPG which I stumbled upon. Today was my second time out at the range and I smacked many over 250 yards and lost sight of the ball and have stopped slicing and had just a few fades. Mostly straight shots with a few draws now and then. No, it may not be for you if you're a decent golfer but I was willing to try anything and so far I'm quite pleased with the results. Works for me!

Have you tried Jack's E2E swing? Not sure if I can figure that one out without a video, but the LPG is working for me....

OK, I tried this swing out at the range today and I was really pleased with the results. Normally with the conventional swing I'm lucky to get a good hit off the tee 60% of time and then 70% are fades. Today with this LPG swing I was hitting them straighter and longer more consistently at least 80% of time. Now mind you I've been having a hard time controlling fade shots which were about 70% off the tee. Today my first time out with this swing I may have hit 3 fades, 5 pulls, and the rest dead straight out of a 100 ball basket, plus I was getting 20 extra yards. I need a lot more practice but this is what I've been looking for.....

I'm a new guy on this site and relatively new to golf as well. I just started this game ten months ago and really love it but at age 64 it's harder to learn some of the athletic moves required for good tee shots. I just came across Kuykendall's site and am intrigued by this new swing. Tried a few hits into a net in my yard and was amazed at the ease of it and the consistency of hitting the ball square. I have been hitting the ball off the tee around 85 mph with a traditional swing and testing it with my 3baysGSA Pro swing analyzer in my yard my swings were averaging 88 mph with elbows only! Will go to the driving range tomorrow to see some actual results and will report back....

Not for me either! I'm 64 and swung my first club last December. I had a few short lessons from a golf pro back in May, but it didn't seem to help much. I do take as many tips as I can from players who are much better than I am and weed out what doesn't work. I read a lot on the internet and watch a lot of golf tip videos and still have to weed out those that just don't work for me. I have improved some these past ten months but it's been a very slow process. I'm sure for me anyway the reason progress is so slow is because I started golf so late in life and although I stay fit and exercise regularly, I never played many sports other than the occasional softball or volleyball game. I do love this golf game though. It's such a challenge, and that's why I love it so much even though I really suck at it. My handicap is about 40 which is down from around 50 not too long ago. My short game is getting a little better and I try to practice at least once a week on chipping and pitching in my yard and try to get to the driving range weekly as well. One thing's for sure, some people pick it up and improve much faster than others and I just happen to be one of the slow learners. My biggest problem has been my inner clock. I'm an "A" type and have found it very difficult slowing down and not trying to kill the ball, and have a decent tempo. When I do manage to check my tempo I can hit some decent shots but I always tend to speed back up after a few shots.....
