Interesting thoughts from people. As I cannot play without some ST I currently see the whole downswing from the top as one movement. It goes something like - pulling the hands down rotating them through the ball and follow through to the finish- and I see this as one movement not three seperate...

Robobumm as a low handicapper thanks for confirming what I am saying about not being able to have any ST's. I know a few low handicappers and they always say don't think about it but when they play a shot you can see that's exactly what they're doing

Adi I am similar to you in my approach but it gets complicated when it works for say your driver but not your 5 iron which is where I am at now .

Oddsocks this is the point I am trying to get at, if ST can't be kept out surely we have to find a way to manage it.

Don't post very often but thought this subject might be an interesting topic. We are told not to have any swing thoughts (ST) on the course but is that really possible? No matter how hard I try I alwys have to have some ST's when I am ready to play a shot even if it's just about a feeling to...

IMO sometimes you just need to play with the attitude of "hit the flippin ball and go find it"

use the back of your fingers/knockles and gently sweep it away. Can't be construed as testing the surface either then.

post is abit old so maybe no one will read it. Putting simple - 3 balls from 3ft three from 6ft three from 9ft. You don't go to the next distance till you done the first if you miss start again. Another good one just before playing is to go hole to hole around the outer holes around the...

I would also reccomend the Di7 irons new or secondhand. I had a set for the first three years I played before my swing took shape very forgiving and excellent buy for the money. Greenjoy shoes are a good buy for the money to start. Synthetic so don't leak. Had mine 4 years and I still use them...

Hit the flipping ball and then go find it !

Hi kid2 you can see my set up below I ditched the 3i/4i for the Cobra hybrids, You will hit the 3h as far as your 5w but is more versatile from difficuilt lies and also generally more consistant.Wether you have a 4w or 3w is up to you but I prefer the 3w as I get less height and more run. I...

as in all sports they are in a different galaxy. When I played amateur footbal was fortunate to play against a few low division ex pros, they ripped my lungs out trying to keep up with them, they jumped three foot higher and it was like chasing pigeons when they had the ball. I don't expect golf...

Sorry guys but I think you are missing the point, the fact is that the average age of golf club members is 58. The 20-35 age group are not the major age group for playing golf and the majority of this age group chose to do something else until they are so knackered that golf is the only thing...

reminds me of a young enthusiastic golfer known as Madandra teeing of and hitting his ball in the lake on the left, he places another ball on the tee and hits it in the lake on the right, he does this several more times when a spectator suggests he uses an old ball instead of the shiny new ones...

would agree but generally I am a worker who never blames the tools just the tool holding the club
