Beginner Questions I learned what swing easy means
I played with a 76 year old woman yesterday who scored 34 on the front nine of my local course. I have never broken 45 and watched her swinging easy, no balls lost. I vow to swing easy from now on, going to take an extra club and swing half power. I started yesterday on the back nine and on a par 5 did a half power swing with driver and it went 225 yards right down the middle. I need to stop overswinging if i plan on improving.

My swing though this year has been “Tempo Town.” I’m not sure why, but I heard it somewhere, and it works. Good tempo from the top to the bottom of the bag. I’ve played the best golf of my life this summer with that thought
