Merry christmas all arena users!

Saw this and it made me chuckle so I thought I'd share!



:santa:

 

Brilliant! - thanks for that

 

Thanks :-D

If any one can work out how to embed it, that'd make it more easier to watch.. (Wow.. my singlish is very powerful, leh).

Hey Sam,

Uploaded this vid to the Golf Biomechanics thread back in July

Haven't seen you on here for ages - hope you haven't been working too hard!

While we are on the subject of golf, I've been thinking about organising an online Podiatry Arena tournament via World Golf Tour. I know a few arena members love a bit of golf as much as I do - we could play 18 on St Andrews against each other from the comfort of our sofas (and it has an in built chat system for trash talk/banter as well).

Let me now if anyone fancies it and I'll get it sorted

 

I fancy it. However, it would have to be at 2-3 o'clock in the morning when my family are in bed and my wife thinks I am working. Podiatry Arena is bad enough but online golf with the people from PA is a lynching affair!

 

Thats not an issue mate - I'm normally up then anyway. I've emailed you an invitation so get yourself logged on and start practicing.

 

I've already signed up

Sweet - armchair golf in winter

 

Cool - let me know your user name and I'll add you as a friend - easier to arrange games that way.

Anyone else fancy it?

It would appear that this thread may mean the ruination of my marriage. Logged into the game and played 2 holes. Literally having to tear myself away to write this!

 

Addictive isn't it! I'm playing 9 with some dude from Prague as I type this. Will add you when I'm done

 

IG - I'm impressed - 50 cents earned this year. Soon podiatry will just be a hobby!

 

Indeed mate. I'm trying to invite you for a quick closest to the pin game right this very now!

 

I can't I'm afraid - I'm head of childcare today and we've already been sledging and written Father Christmas some wish lists so I need to get some lunch on for them.

Maybe later tonight?

 

Cool. I'm laid up in bed with some kind of man flu so I'll be around most of today

 

Hi Ian,

I'll be up for a little bit of that too.. send me an email sam@thefootpractice.com

Also, got some beautiful course in this neck of the woods.. if you ever pass this way and you fancy a game gimme a shout.

S

 

Invite sent mate.

Always up for a game! Next time I'm in Singapore you'll be getting a call...

If you find yourself in Hertfordshire then the same offer applies sir

 

Ian

Where do you find the time to play ????

Since you sent it to me I have logged on and......and....and thats about it:eek:

I will try to get some "Me" time in the new year, we can have a game then :)

Have a great Christmas buddy and everything you wish for yourself in 2011.
Hope yor flu is better soon, dont forget to get herself to bring up the lemsips and mop your fevered brow frequently ........:eek:
Cheers
D ;-)

 

I tend to sacrifice sleep Del, had a game with Sam at 1.30am this morning, while he was having his breakfast in Singapore.

Hope you and your family have a great one mate, and we'll get some proper time on a proper course in 2011.

My Mrs has been a legend for the last 2 days, but she has her suspicions I may be milking it now...

 

Go on get her to cook you some cheesy chips before she pulls the plug on you !!!

::D:DD

Cheers
D ;-)

 

we have a 4 ball!

 

My future grandmother-in-law just brought me some home made cake and a cup of hot chocolate... I think I'm gona be ok mate ;)

 

Spoilt Rotten aint ya !!:D

Have a good one
Cheers
D ;)

This is my preferred golf swing....Ian, you're going to have to put back on your PowerBand to do this one correctly...:rolleyes:

 

Hi Kevin

There is a saying in golf " it's not how far its how many that counts" :empathy:

There is no point in hitting a ball with an inconsistant swing another 30 yards that finishes in the tree's and puts you out of the hole ( is there ian :D).

The difference between Paidrig and me IS consistancy, thats why I can never hold it together over 2 rounds leave alone 4 which they play in every competition

These guys are sooooo consistant thats why they hit a 1000 balls EVERY day to keep that consistancy.

Running at a ball.....NAH sorry cant be done "consistantly".

Nice post though:drinks

Cheers
D;)

 

I was playing golf with my own set of clubs at the age of 14. However, I never really got very good at the game and found it was very time consuming, relatively frustrating and expensive in my younger years. So I do know a bit about the game and have some very good friends who are scratch golfers...they are so far beyond me it isn't funny.

Currently, however, I simply don't have the time or interest to play. Maybe when I'm older and more crippled, I will have the right attitude for golf.;)

 

:eek:

FANKS Sonny!!!!! :D

Cheers
D;)

 

Lower Extremity Work Is Associated with Club Head Velocity during the Golf Swing in Experienced Golfers.
McNally MP, Yontz N, Chaudhari AM.
Int J Sports Med. 2014 Feb 27.

 

The perfect golf swing?

Easy - the perfect golf swing is one made by any individual but me. If it happens miles and miles away from where I'm located at the time that's even more perfect.

I don't think velocity, lower body dynamics or any of the other stuff is necessary.

And I really don't like those commercially-avaialble custom orthoses which have a little Golf sticker on the top. They fool no-one.
:D

The variable and chaotic nature of professional golf performance
Michael Stöckl & Peter F. Lamb
Journal of Sports Sciences 04 Jul 2017

 

For a professional golfer ,could something as simple as a change in sock brand lead to dip in form . For example if a golfer switches to a brand of sock with a lower coefficient of friction , when used with a given shoe , then an unpredictable variable is introduced . Given the long kinetic chain involved in the golf swing even a small additional movement between the sock clad foot and the shoe could lead to a more chaotic performance .
Does anyone know of any professional golfer playing with shoes but without socks ?
