I‘m a high handicapper but actually kinda get where the OP is coming from. When I was really into pool and was in a billiards league for a couple years, it WAS kinda irritating when a low-level player took forever to hit his/her shot. It holds up all the other matches, and the player usually...

To be fair, he never actually said “weight shift” until I mentioned it. He was more focused on orienting the path of the club in transition and downswing, and what my hips were doing, I loosely (and maybe mistakenly) translated that into weight shift. Thanks for the videos and explanations, I...

Back pain is gone, thanks for asking! Steady diet of yoga, chiro and not overdoing it at the golf range has cleared it up. I’m trying to stay up with fitness, but work has been really stressful lately so I’ve been remiss in doing my morning yoga and meditation, and also missing some cardio...

I hit it into a bunker, then muffed that shot. Ended up with a triple, I think Anyhoo I’m at least glad this thread stoked some discussion, it’s been really interesting to read...

For me, the worst feeling is when I really commit to getting better, get lessons, put in the practice, etc.... then inexplicably seem to get worse. I’ve been practicing my chipping and putting every day for at least an hour or two. It goes well on the practice greens. Then when I play a round...

This sounds a lot like me. I didn't do a weight shift when I started taking golf more seriously because, well hell, I had enough problems in my swing and didn’t want to introduce another factor. I think I’d like to try to address it now though. Thanks everyone for their suggestions, I’ll try...

I had a golf lesson last week and identified that part of my OTT issue was a lack of weight shift in my swing - my hips weren’t moving forward at all on the downswing, they were actually moving a couple inches back. I’m doing the weight transfer drills recommended by my instructor but yesterday...

I started taking lessons in 2018 and taking it more seriously so I could play golf with my dad, who was obsessed with golf. Unfortunately he passed last year but we got in a couple great dad-son bonding rounds before. Now I’m really excited to play with my kids as they get older. My son shows...

Had a golf lesson and got some great tips and drills that may finally get me from coming OTT. Plan to work on it this week at the range and at home...

I have a slight OTT that my instructor identified. Doing 1/4 and 1/2 swings, I have a nice inside-out swing. My slow-motion and practice swing looks good. But as soon as I do a full or 3/4 swing with a ball there, somehow it always goes back to OTT. I’m close giving up that I’ll ever be able to...

I’ve thought about joining a club but a couple things have given me pause: - I like to go play when I feel like it and don’t want to be put on a schedule - I’ve joined leagues for other hobbies before and it’s kinda sucked all the fun out of it. Like I used to be really into billiards (still...

Not really a Raiders fan but seeing as they’re coming to where I live, I’d love to see him sign here. I’d get a chance to attend a game to see one of the greatest QBs ever play Feels like its been forever for the game to come but am starting to get really amped up for this Sunday. I hope to see...

I should use it more since my chipping and pitching are not good. But then my putting is even worse so it’s kind of a pick your poison

I probably lose one or two on average. I have a fade on my driver that sometimes I can’t justify calling a fade and is just an outright slice that rears it’s head a couple times a round. That’s when I lose my ball 90% of the time

I don’t because I did once, and then the guy drove up looking for his ball which he had mishit from a different hole. I gave it back to him and apologized and now don’t pick up any I find while playing However I do walk my pups every morning at 5am and we usually walk thru 2-3 holes on the...
