Homer, I'm not saying YOU are that golfer, I'm saying let's just say A senior golfer is hitting the ball shorter than he wants. I'm not saying I can 'fix' someone's swing, I haven't seen them. I'm saying this is how you get more distance. It's in no way condescending to say "This works, you can give it a go if you fancy." I'd go to someone like Bob....... in fact I did and do.
I'm not entirely sure why you're finding such offence in a thread not directed at you on a subject you don't care about. You don't care - got that bit. Neil from earlier does. Am I not allowed to tell him for fear of upsetting someone else. Be at least a tad reasonable
Whatever. Very happy with what I'm doing thank you. He's never seen me hit a ball so how can he know if I hit up or down on a shot?
I'm just not that convinced that for a lot of golfers, longer is necessarily the holy grail and that it's not what handicappers need to focus on if their game was to improve. Just my opinion

Let's not all get upset with each other, guys. I'm just saying this is how to add yards. I really don't want to upset anyone. If guys want to know have a read and maybe try some of it. If not no snags from me

And you're more than welcome to it....... and I agree - ask anyone at Blankney, I'm on or around the putting green practicing for at least a couple of hours every day.
It's just one aspect of the game, Homer. No one's saying it's the most important
As I've said countless times on here though the difference between the way I hit it two years ago and now are million miles apart and yes it's working. Sometimes, progress isn't marked by handicap progression alone, at least in my mind. Not going to discuss the merits of my own golfing progress on here further as I've said my piece, disagreed with the OP, and time it move it on

I dont think the guy could have been any less condescending in what he said. He litterealy told you to ignor him if you liked!
Why Why why do we consistantly shun people who try to share a little joy they have gained or something that has helped them and may help us.

OK, I apologise and condescending was inappropriate. However I'd still prefer my PGA pro and not a 5 handicapper to advise me. I still disagree that hitting it longer is a necessity but that's just my take. Apologies again

Distance can't hurt. As for these mythical senior golfers with amazing short games, they do exist but with an important consideration.
Most of the seniors at my place won't play any comps off the whites. There are 2-3 carries they can't make, they may have cracking short games but they would benefit from a few more yards.
I could benefit from a few more yards off the tee.....in a straight line
On a side note, does anyone else see the irony in homie stating he's not going to discuss his golfing progress with anyone else

Thanks Nosevi! It's getting cold so I really need to squeeze a few range days in to put this all to practice, I could never hold a finish stance, or even turn my back leg to be honest, so controlling my balance should be very helpful.

I don't remember reading the op saying it was a necessity. He also hasn't said its a better way to improve than accuracy or short game. Even better than that, he didn't even say you have swing swing faster, so almost everybody should be physically capable of trying it. Just alter your launch conditions and distance will improve.
I honestly don't see what you're disagreeing with?

Really not taken offence guys
and I won't be a 5 handiapper for long - hence all the short game practice
We have a carry on the 3rd many seniors can't make. They either hit it down towards the drop zone or ping it across to the 7th and then back across onto the 3rd from there. Much shorter carry back across and they all get a shot

But they should be able to chip it down the cart path deadly accurate
There was serious talk last year of putting in a lay up area in on the 18th. The carry is approx 200 yards off the whites. About 180 off the yellows. Some of the old fellas were struggling off the yellows.
I don't need a layup area, just need a few trees down the right taking out

Nope sorry, wrong answer. Correct answer is the one shooting the lower scores :thup:

Forget the latter part of this which is all "get lessons get lessons" and I know many don't want to, but according to the R&A average driving distances between 1996 and 2012 increased by a massive 3 yards despite the huge advances in technology
