Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 5315718, member: 489"] A couple things of note that don’t deal with the swing itself, play the right tees and don’t play the ball down until you’re ready. Playing with better players as you say means they may be playing the blues or blacks, you play the white or shorter no matter. And if no one is moving the ball (unless a tourney) you move to good lies in order to get confidence in your game, don’t be embarrassed to be different you’re trying to get better. Lessons are a good idea too these guys can help you find some ideas in order to improve, they will see things your playing partners can’t. I’m not a fan only because I’m a baseball player turned golfer so I don’t want change. When I turned 55 and felt I was losing distance I took my first lesson to grab a few yards. This particular teacher didn’t listen to me about not changing much and kept trying to get me to bring my club back to a different place which I wasn’t comfortable with, so I went to one of the 4 days I paid for. Not for everyone. I do recognize things with guys I play with a lot after playing so long but it’s really hard to help others unless you can break down swings. I can hardly break down my own, lol. I just go play in my mid 60s and enjoy it whether I shoot 72 or 87, so just have fun trying to get better! [/QUOTE]
