  1. If your acknowledging that the price of college is a problem, then doing nothing about it is kinda stupid. This will only make Colleges raise tuition higher. They should tax the endowment money and use that to give to needy students.
  2. I have been going to Golf Tec a couple years. My first teacher left in March and I took a instructor who was much more organized and has begun to take me step by step. Now he is leaving and I had just signed up for a year because I was excited to have him. Anyway the owner teaches Stack and Tilt and said he would take me on even though his schedule is busy. Any opinions on Stack and Tilt from experienced people here. I ask as this thread is older. Also, I had a pro analyze my swing after I bought, "The Hanger" online. (It was part of the package), and his opinion was that Stack and Tilt was ineffective. I struggle with consistency. Handicap 28.
  3. I posted my swing here a few years ago and after reviewing the comments decided to take lessons at a nearby Golf Tec. (Well not so near). I took 40 lessons did not improve so much , but hey, I figured it takes time. Took another 10. Getting a little better. Still inconsistent though. Not breaking 100. Signed up for another 10 getting frustrated after about 3 of those. Determined to move on to another place/instructor. My instructor calls me, he is leaving Golf Tec and turns me over to one of the guys who was very, very good. Guess what he has a lesson plan and we start at square one. I have progressed faster in 5 lessons than the previous 50. Lesson learned. He won't teach me anything new until I can perform the previous task with some fair amount of skill. So basically what I was getting from the first guy what iacas mentioned. Lesson after lesson of grab bag information without a plan.
  4. How long is a typical Aim Point lesson. There is one close to me who teaches a 1 hour private lesson.
  5. I grew up in a blue collar town and not many of us were exposed to Golf. Color had nothing to do with it. My father was Polish came over after serving as a worker of no choice in Germany during WW2. Soccor was his game. None of my friends Dad's played Golf. Never even on our radar. Wish it was.
  6. Anyone have experience with Blast motion in 2019/2020. I am interested in full swing face angle. How accurate? Thanks
  7. My last 2 Golf Tec lessons on hold.
  8. There are a lot of pieces to a Golf swing that an instructor would find it difficult to teach in one lesson. IMHO. I took a year of lessons at Golf Tec and feel I'm just finally hitting the ball consistently. Now if it would just go where I aim! But I played for 30 years and had a lot of bad habits ingrained in me. I'll bet you just need to find the right instructor.
  9. I have never broken 100 but will this season. I think the reason the book is titled as such is because the majority of golfers are not practicing their game as much as people who frequent this site. Emphasize "frequent". Its aimed towards the majority of recreational golfers.
  10. Thanks, I will check him out. I have invested the past year in lessons and practicing at Golf Tec. At the range and at home. My swing and confidence are better. But both need more work. I had no idea how technical the golf swing is. I will forever be a work in progress as I love this game. Thanks for all the replies.
  11. Hi all. I have been taking lessons at Golf Tec for a year. Hitting the ball more consistently but still its a work in progress. Ive seen a few threads here for mental aspect of the game but i am inrterested in a book like, "Zen Golfing", anyone have any recommended titles?
  12. I have a question about the 2019 Titelist 14 divider hybrid stand bag. I am interested in purchasing. But one of the reviewers mentions only 4 of the dividers go all the way to the bottom. What does that mean for loading 14 clubs?

    Loopers Movie

    That looks good. Hopefully, it goes national or Netflix picks it up.
  14. Can I ask what you use to film? And if its an iphone what setting? Thanks.
  15. Yes I know. I have tried to keep the left arm straight while swinging. What technique do you use? Do you break the wrists earlier or just work on flexibility? I feel my arm just won't do that.
  16. Yes. I usually practice 1 hour twice a week at GolfTec. I do mostly full swings as this is the only place I can right now and see ball flight and replay the swing. But, I do practice drills given to me by my instructor mostly at the Gym after I work out. They have a mirrors on all the walls in the group exercise room and i can see the correct position I should be in at each stage of the swing.The last thing we worked at was pushing the hips towards target or shifting weight to the left to shallow out the club. I did it well Monday and felt I had really turned a corner but as I stated in my original post when I returned Tuesday I could not seem to keep the clubhead behind my hands at parallel on the downswing. I probably hit 60 balls in 1 hour. Hmmmm, now that I see that thats about 1 a minute. 1. Keeping the clubhead behind the hands with club at parallel backswing and downswing. 2. Shoulder turn 3. Starting the downswing with the upper body not the hips. 4. Hands in front of the ball at impact. 5. Keeping head as still as possible 6. Keeping left wrist more bowed then cocked. 7. Drawing the ball. Thanks
  17. Yes, thats a thought I've had as well. I don't just hit balls. After each swing I replay video and see if I'm hitting the key positions.
  18. Yes using video at GolfTec. Its winter here in CT just bought a impact net need to clean garage this weekend. I posted some of my swings in My Swing.
  19. Heres my updated swing
  20. So, I have been taking Golf lessons at GolfTec since September and feel that I've stalled on shallowing the club. Well, Monday I was hitting the ball well, (was practicing for an hour), Looks like I finally turned a corner. I returned today and could not shallow the club to save my life. What a frustrating game. Thanks for listening.
  21. Any drills for shallowing the club I could work on with limited space in my home for the winter?
  22. Yes. Thats included as well as a 2 outside playing lessons.
  23. I signed up for 1 year and 40 lessons. (Might have gone a little overboard) So far have gone every week for lessons and 1 hour practice afterword and then I use a practice bay another hour per week. I have taken about seven lessons and so far have it has been well worth it. I've learned a lot, most importantly, that I had little knowledge of what a real golf swing entailed. 9 more months to go. I may give some of my lessons to my daughter as my instructor offered. It also includes a fitting.
  24. What are the A1-A10 poaitions in Golf Swing. I've seen threads mentioning them but google or search yielding nothing comprehensive or any explanation Thanks
  25. I am just reviving this thread. I will be in Scottsdale mid February 2019 at a Conference at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort. I will probably be without spouse as she has a heavy work week. Looking for a things a single guy could do in the afternoon as most of the events end at 12:00PM. Looking for recommended course I could play where I could keep my Kidney? Its pretty tough to find rates online.
