Got my first golf of the year in yesterday evening; played 9 with a
buddy at 6:45.
For barely having touched a club--I think I've hit balls 3 times since I
finished playing last year, and for almost NO short game or putting
practice, I was pretty pleased with a 43 (par 35).
8 bogies and a par at the last, but I was only really in a bad place off
the tee twice and I hit half the fairways and was on or less than 5'
from the green on 5 holes.
The things I've been thinking about in my swing--concentrate first on
rotating the torso, and then firing the right hand down at the ball from
the inside--seem to be working pretty well.
Given that working on and racing an open-wheel race car are going to
take up a lot of valuable golf time, I'm happy to discover that I can
perhaps play decently on relatively little practice.

Larry's life consists of trying to prove to the world--well, actually

fantasies about his golf game, his business, etc.
But his problem is that it has long since become obvious that he cannot
PLAY golf as well as he claims. So he's now been reduced to trying to
demonstrate is supposed superiority by talking about how he is more
dedicated to IMPROVING his game than the rest of us plebes.

I started golfing at age 60 with a badly damaged lead leg knee. But I became a competent golfer by doing enough PT to stabilize my knee and strengthen my core. I took lessons to learn to swing correctly, to hit the ball down the middle from the tees and to the greens from the fairway. I can even putt a little because I do it exactly right, having taken putting lessons too.
I learned to play guitar and piano and French and some Spanish the same way I learned nuclear physics. I took lessons and then I did the homework instead of vegging out in front of a TV. I used my time efficiently.

How many times in the past have you claimed to have achieved the goal of
"all the fairways", Larry? Shall we have an actual count?
Because once we examine the number of times you've lied about it in the
past, it will illuminate the likelihood that you're lying about it now...

I'll give him one little thing, John.
That WAS a slow motion playback of a slow motion rehearsal swing; the
ball was not meant to go anywhere.
But what is hilarious is that he posts that awful set of moves as if it
was something that anyone would want to emulate.
He fakes himself up onto the toe of his back foot as he fakes his knee
forward while thrust his lead hip UP rather than around and putting it
AHEAD of his lead foot.

"Sorry, but I have lost my awe of the game. I really expect to shoot in
the 70s from now on. The curtain has been lifted; there is no mystery
anymore. I often make birdies--in fact I putt for birdie on all par 5s
and some par 4s. It really isn't that hard for me now--from the white
tees. I can hit it well over 260 and sometimes near 300 with driver, I
often play driver-SW on our short par 4s. I was a high handicapper for
3 years; I became super accurate with SW. I can hit medium and even
long irons to a target, I can chip it close and I can make nearly every
6' foot putt. I have worked my butt off learning these skills. I have
them down pat. I have learned to manage the course to best advantage
of my skills. Duhh, what else is there? "
So...
We all know by now that all of that was a lie, don't we?
The guy who says he started playing in... ...2000, wasn't it...
...the guy who says he was an 18 handicap in 2002.
...the guy who now admits this game is pretty hard to master...
...was talking about how he was going to shoot in the 70s forever more
only 28 months after saying he was an 18.
And you wonder why people have a problem with your credibility.
And no, Larry: I don't have a "catalog" of your posts.
I have Google Groups and a man so arrogant and narcissistic that the
very thought that he should add "X-No-Archive: Yes" to all the posts he
ever made to prevent his lies from coming back to bite him in the ass.

So it was a completely fake swing. Anyone can put the club in any position statically. Getting it right in an actual swing is way harder - even in a practice swing, and harder still in a proper swing at the ball in a competition match on an actual golf course.

Now I am just an average golfer. I don't go around handing out unqualified, unsolicited advice. But at least my swing doesn't hurt people's eyes. I miss lots of fairways. But then again I can hit it a decent distance which makes it harder to be accurate.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRF7hIM6mU4
These swings have plenty of issues to resolve, but they are not a sequence of faked static positions. They are a dynamic flow from start to finish, with all the momentum and balance issues that involves. And I can tell you the ball made it off the end of the tee block.
The biggest issue I have is letting small, once fixed errors creep back into setup and grip. Same as almost all amateur golfers. None of that techno-crap that you like to babble on about.

It looks pretty sound, John. Decent setup, backswing looks alright...
...just a little bit of a chicken wing on the through swing.

Larry will ever let a single person who can report back on his play seem
him on a golf course.

When I was playing my best, I spent a good portion of my time on the
range making every shot with a full pre-shot routine, and one of the
reasons for that was that it helped me make sure that every part of my
setup was very familiar to me. I don't know if you've tried that, but if
you haven't...

A completely fake swing for a complete fake.

But in fairness, there's nothing wrong with the concept of using slow
motion and/or static positions to help you realize where you're body
needs to be for some parts of the swing.

Its not even a match. You can hit balls all day on the range. You can even hit good shots on the range. But there's no substitute for getting used to the pressure of playing matches.

I'm guessing the hook (like yours truly) based on the slight outside/away from the body takeaway and narrow position at the top that I struggle with. Your clubface position at the top is much better than mine. You do drop it a bit too much to the inside on the transition (again, my malaise also), but you recover beautifully with the release. I don't see much chicken wing.

Great swing!
Golf isn't about perfect. The best players in the world still miss 20% of fairways and 25% of greens. Even Moe Norman probably missed a few in his day.

Once you get your contact issues dealt (and you can do it if I did!),
start bringing along something about as big as a washcloth to practice
your chipping. The idea is that you assess a practice chip and then put
the cloth down on the green where you believe you need to land the chip
to have it roll out to the hole. That way, you work on the accuracy of
the chip's execution as well as your judgement of flight and roll.

The real pressure for Larry would be just having to deal with the
laughter that would inevitably follow each stroke. I mean, you can only
hold it in for so long.

Definitely not.

If you have issues you want to resolve, swing even more slowly. You will need to really focus on your weight shift, hip turn and coordination of arms with hips. But those look fine fundamentally.

Not bad. I would like to see a little more bend from the waist at address. I would like to see your arms hanging straight down at addresss. You are reaching for the ball a bit. You are taking the club away somewhat outside. Needs to be right down the line. And your left arm is bowed at the top. Your motion looks good though. Last thing. Delay that release! Let your left hand lead the clubhead through the ball.

Yeah. Look at the PGA tour stats. PGA Tour averages for GIR only 65% and driving accuracy only 60% - makes a mockery of Larry's "hitting all the fairways and greens". Now look at the stats for up and down from the fringe - around 90% !!!

Yup.
Do I want to hit "all the fairways and all the greens" (just like Larry:
Ha!)? Sure.
But in my 9 holes on Friday, I only hit 3 fairways and 2 greens
(although given that 2 other greens were "missed" by less than 5 feet
total, and on the correct side to give me an uphill putt, I'd call them
both hitting my target, which is the more important thing) and I still
could easily have scored close to par if my chipping and putting had
been up to mid-season form.
And last time I checked, there's no place on a scorecard to record
fairways or greens hit; just the score.

And your statement encompasses:
Reacting to criticism with anger, shame, or humiliation.
Exaggerating own importance, achievements, and talents.
Requiring constant attention and positive reinforcement from others.
Lacking empathy and disregarding the feelings of others.
Being obsessed with self.
Becoming easily hurt and rejected.
You will be seeing a lot more of your "list" in our upcoming chats,

Then after I see your plane ticket, you can show your money.
But we all know how the bets you propose seem to vaporize, time after
time after time after time. You made sure they never happened and
will never happen. But you did lose that "C" note because you were a
dumb fuck.

Hmmmm....
People post reports about their golf games on "rec.sport.golf" all the
time. You need to look to your fellow troll to figure out how this
thread ended up here.

So when you share with us how well you're supposed to be doing...
...like telling us all how you pulled all your savings out 2 weeks
before the crash...
...does that mean you have no life outside this newsgroup, hypocrite?
