Why is my right arm always so sore?
BigTexGolfer replied to Chipless's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
. I am 49 and have dealt with the same issue. It comes and goes, worst it seems after I workout with upper body exercises or hit balls on a hard mat. This video with the Flexbar and Reverse Tyler Twist along with using a Band It help. Also do a search for other rehab exercises for golfer's elbow on Youtube. A good ice pack that wraps your elbow also helps. Good luck! -
Working on getting my setup taller this week, trying to stand a little taller thanks to some input from mvmac. Still having problem with the head turn, but the setup is getting better. Guess just fix one at a time.
-
I see what you are saying mvmac. Looking at your swing and several others that I consider good models and noticed I appear to have my weight way out over or even past my feet in my setup. Looks like to have my weight center over the arches of my feet that I should be able to draw a line stright down from my arpmpits that should go across the center of my feet. Much like yours is in your setup, and Charlie's. But if I draw that same line in my setup the line goes outside my toes. So it looks like my hands may be in the right place (or closer) but I need to move the center of gravity for my upper body back to line up better. Maybe stand a little taller and/or get my backside a little further out. Do I have that right? Thanks!
-
Thanks for the input guys. Working on keeping my head still and did 45 minutes of 3/4 swings focusing on just that. That part looks a little better, but fought the occassional shank. Only 9,950 more swings and I got it made, then I can work on the next thing.

Well he does keep the club in front of him. ;-)
-
Thanks for the comments! That is something that has been a problem since I have started working on my swing, and have not been able to figure out how to fix. In the backswing I do not sense my head turning that much, but always obvious on film. Is there a root cause in the setup or turn leading to it? Maybe over rotating hips?
-
Alright here is my first attempt at this. It is actually a video of a video, so hopefully it is good enough quality. Trying to work out some inconsistencies in my swing. Thanks for any input.

Long Putters and Belly Putters Taking Over
BigTexGolfer replied to stjames's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I keep seeing the distance of relef argument being brought up, and I guess I do not see the advantage. If you use your driver instead of your putter as you are allowed under the rules for relief, this is not much difference in length compared to even the longest putters. Almost a full club length? Not hardly. A typical driver is 45-46" (with a max of 48"), broomstick putters 48"-50". So the most additional relief assuming two club lengths of relief is 10". Maybe the answer there is making a 48" limit for all clubs in the bag for consistency sake. -
AimPoint Schools/Seminars/Classes Master Thread
BigTexGolfer replied to iacas's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
For all of you Dallas area folks, Andrew Lewis is hosting an Aimpoint clinic at Indian Creek Golf Course in Carrollton on 9/17 at 2:00. Hope to meet some of you there. -
Hey Tx_Basser you slummin over here from the TFF ? lol Which trails have you noticed this in? My 12 year old daughter plays some NTPGA and US Kids events in the Dallas area and really never had occurred to have her count her playing partner's strokes real closely. She and I usually know pretty close what the playing partner shot, but not always exactly. She has pointed out a couple of times she was not sure another kid counted a whiff as a stroke though. Usually did not matter on those holes since the kid had a max score anyway. I have had a couple of times where my daughter lost count of a swing of her own once or twice, usually just forgetting about one shot that I remind her of when we go back and add up stroke by stroke. That kid of stuff is pretty common, and unententional. But as you point out a good teaching moment. We did have a couple of kids in a team event recently that are probably on their way to being the type of guys that call and report rules violations they think they see on television. Before they do that they probably need to get a better handle on the rules though. Caused a lot of angst with the kids they were paired with, and they were probably fortunate they were such good natured kids because it could have gotten ugly. They showed something like 5 more strokes on their card for their opponent based on some faulty penatly strokes, along with a couple of other conflicts on the course. After a discussion with the rules official the faulty rulings were corrected though and all of those strokes removed. Not sure if there was some gamesmanship going on there, or if they really were just trying to enforce rules they did not really understand.

That's interesting, since Pepper said Lewis had the greens figured out better than anyone else in the field a couple of times. Maybe she got her and Wei confused on which one is using Aimpoint.
-
Went in there and got the same response. Hoped to get it quicker myself, but it is what it is. You must not live to far from me, I am in East Frisco right at the border of McKinney, Allen, and Plano.

I ordered the cradle at the Golfsmith store in Frisco on Preston Road by Stonebriar Mall. You can also order it on the Golfsmith site now and have it delivered to the store to save shipping cost. Downside is the expected shipping date is not until 7/4.

I do the egg beaters on the weekend, but I've got the same exact problem during the week, gotta have something for the commute because I'm in a rush in the mornings. Guess I could always pound the egg beaters, Balboa-style . It kinda sucks, almost forced to eat some sort of cereal bar or something similar and rely on milk for a decent source of protein. The hard boiled eggs are a good idea for the week, I didn't think about it like that. Once they're boiled, they can be refrigerated, right? Like, boil a bunch on Sunday and have them ready for the work week? (Kinda embarrassed by the fact that I've lived by myself for almost 10 years and I don't know that) And I wish fast food didn't suck so much. It blows my mind that no one offers anything quick and healthy. Would it be that hard for one of these places to offer egg whites on wheat toast (not soaked in grease) with some sort of low-fat cheese? I guess the same goes for all meals, not just breakfast. I know Subway offers breakfast now, but I've never been through a quick Subway. Takes probably as much time as it would for me to cook something myself, which defeats the purpose. Maybe I can open something like that, become a millionaire, and then be able to play golf every day. Might be on to something here... You need to get one of these, you can make a healthy breakfast microwaving egg whites in about 1.5 minutes. Just put it in a wheat tortilla, and add a little low fat cheese, canadian bacon, and/or some salsa and you have a meal on the run. http://www.amazon.com/Progressive-Microwave-Egg-Poacher/dp/B0000CFQ4B/ref=cm_lmf_tit_6
