Walking, what do you do?

[HughJars]

Yes I know we all have to do it, I mean while we are walking between shots.

Do you take a couple of hoppity skips and then stroll off down the fairway, do you always start on your left or right foot ( rather like marching)

or do you walk normally and just put one foot in front of the other without any thought to technique?

Answers on a postcard...

Left foot... right foot... left foot... right foot...

Just walk to the ball and play another kak shot...





I thought that's what we all do (don't we????????????????)...

And the point is???? I just dump the club back in the bag, start the trolly and start praying I'll find it in the long stuff.

I practice my walk-start at the range , I think i've got it pretty much sorted now and I'm comfortable it wont break down under pressure

Does the way you walk effect your golf game?? If so, maybe thats where im going wrong

Generally 1 foot in front of the other and then repeat until ball reached.
I have been known to break into a Cleesesque silly walk depending on whether the ball is in the clag or not.
However, hopping and skipping should be left to those with Morris Dancing tendancies.

When I'm playing well, I can get into the zone, and I sort of find it just takes care of itself.

But when I'm having a less than pefect round I often do two lefts to every right and end up in the long stuff.

So then I concentrate too much on getting the right foot forward, so every now and then I'll stick both feet forward at the same time, and Simon says I'm out.

So I go home

I find I take a bigger step with my right foot, being right handed and a smaller one with the left foot and very often, if my mind wanders, I end up back at the tee having gone round in a circle and this can upset the following players.

I know they are upset as they drive their ball up my butt to hurry me on as I weave my way back down the fairway!

I have occasionally clicked my ankles together whilst walking, bone on bone,,,, is that a shank?

You could call it THE SHANKLES :•}

Oh, that's clever!

generally I don't have to think about walking, it's an instinctive thing which we homo sapiens (and here I may be making an unwarranted assumption) have been doing with reasonable success for some years. at it's root, all successful bipedal locomotion is, is a way to stop yourself falling on your face.

the difficulty with marching was never getting the legs in motion but in getting the opposite arms and legs to synchronise.

Depends if I'm on an upslope, downslope, walking along the side of a hill. Have I hit a good shot or bad shot. Have I got a song in my head which I'd like to skip along too?
This is too tricky a question to answer on a monday!
Sorry

Is it time to start another gps thread yet?
