Holy shit bros, took my first golf lesson ever today
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 28th, 2024 8:40 PM Author: Robert Marley Was planning to never take golf lessons ever, and brag about being self-taught some day once I'm decent.
Wife has been taking lessons for a few months and forgot she had one scheduled today.
I sprinted there last second to not lose $100. Golf pro asked me what I want to work on, I said my driver barely goes farther than 3W even though club speed is >100.
He had me take 5 swings in a sim and immediately noticed backspin was over 5,000 RPM. Gave me 2 quick tips and 10 swings later I was down to low 3000s.
He showed me a comparison of my first and last swings and it was like amateur hour vs pro swing. Told me not to worry about club or ball speed and just keep drilling the same 2 tips until I get backspin down to 2,000s.
I left 15 minutes early and told him he needs a raise.
Holy fuck I should've done this a year ago.
We're gonna work on chipping and lob shots next week. |

Date: June 29th, 2024 7:23 PM Author: Robert Marley Nice... probably better to not get lessons right away as a complete beginner. I could see that overwhelming and frustrating most people our age.
My biggest regret is not reading Ben Hogan's five lessons when I first started.
It's like 1-2 hours on kindle vs countless hours wasted on YouTube and golf forums |

Date: June 29th, 2024 4:10 PM Author: Robert Marley Fast back / fast swing obviously has merit based on long driver tour. But smooth/steady take back with lag is also proven to go 300+ yards for tiny men with modern club tech.
If your goal is just to increase speed right now, pay up for the stack system (no knockoff) and commit to following the app all summer. It's basically guaranteed to work. |

Date: June 29th, 2024 2:42 PM Author: Robert Marley The best part of owning a business is that I can sprint to random shit like golf lesson in the middle of the day whenever I feel like it. Obviously lost more than $100 for the firm from being away for that long but I'll make up for it tomorrow.

Date: June 29th, 2024 1:01 PM Author: Charles Tyrwhitt Dad I came late to golf, actually prodded into it by my oldest whose maternal grandfather gave him a set of golf clubs when he was five. Was always a tennis and squash player. Still play tennis but now I hit the courses whenever I can. It's a great way to bond with your kids.
My father loved golfing but he never attempted to introduce the game to me and it's the one thing that's always bothered me about my childhood, and probably the reason I never bothered taking up golfing when I was young. |

Date: June 29th, 2024 2:14 PM Author: Robert Marley I'm sorry about your dad. I wouldn't take it personally. Sometimes I golf alone on purpose because it's the only time I ever feel completely detached from whatever is stressing me out (basically a form of meditation). It's also possible he wasn't playing golf all that time. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5547431&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=2755525",#47792435) |

Date: June 29th, 2024 3:07 PM Author: Judas Jones Did you have a -5 angle of attack and big out to in swing? That’s horribly inefficient driver spin (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5547431&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=2755525",#47792567) |

Date: June 29th, 2024 3:23 PM Author: Robert Marley Don't remember AOA. Spin loft was in 20s which is too high.
Basically he completely fixed my posture at setup, including how to get spine tilt at address (for driver only) instead of trying to generate it on downswing like Mclroy and DJ; that significantly reduced backspin and side spin.
He also fixed my wrist action on backswing, ie, more flexion and minimal pronation, which helps me keep left arm straight and square the face much better on downswing |

Date: June 29th, 2024 8:28 PM Author: Judas Jones What swing speed, ball speed, distance were you seeing on the sim? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5547431&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=2755525",#47793208) |

Date: June 30th, 2024 3:57 PM Author: Robert Marley Sim didn't show swing speed or total distance. Carry went from 190s to 230s by end of lesson.
Felt like I was hitting farther than that though. I have a theory that swinging indoors has some psychological effect that reduces your club speed vs swinging on a golf course. It's similar to how your fastest practice swing (with no ball) is always 10-15 mph slower than when there's a ball to hit. |
