Hi everyone,
Went out to the sticks today and played 9 holes,
Shot par , but was very happy with my results, my short game is still very rusty and let me down, had two three puts from back edge of green, the greens were lightening.
My striking was great ,the only hole I miss hit was on 8, hit out of heel,but straight , this gave me 2iron out, hit the 2 iron threw the screws and knocked it to 2 ft, then last hole par 3 pulled out 5 iron knocked to 6 ft,
So the writing is on the board, it’s pretty clear I need to work on short game

Hi guys,
last weekend went for a 9 hole bash at Royal Albert Park (Albert Park) Not sure what happened but pulled off 3 under, I put this down to first round in months luck, I must admit easy coarse and couldn’t do a thing wrong one of those days, I wacked the vest on for 15 minutes then hit the coarse, was a good fun day,
I’m going for a bash this sunday, out in the sticks see how I fair up on the weekend

Yeah – I can be vague that time of night.

Start from release point, use a big forward press.

I would be pleased to explain more if you like but sometimes a simple answer is clearer.

Sorry, Dart, not quite understanding the one piece drill from this description. Can you expand for me? I want to make sure I get it right. Thanks!

Did a lot of work on the pump drill last few days. Anybody see a difference?????

Finster,

I can see a big difference and I would like to see a bit more.

A one piece drill will help more now. Start half way back – bounce every thing towards the ball about 15 cms – back and strike.

I can see a perfect rhythm this time around.

What I have interpreted from the S &T articles – keep the spine perpendicular – works so well for me. It makes a lot of sense in theory, and it works in practice. Good on these guys for having the guts to come up with S&T, publish it, then to go out and recruit 20 or so touring players.

Bio .. good on you ..I will come down and see your new set up in Melbourne and hopefully some of your energy will rub off on me

Soul man,
it’s cool your entitled to your views and I see your point and I’m trying belittling people here, Soulman, I don’t think this way that a tetraplegic,
isn’t having a go, you can tell between the ones who do and the ones who don’t. I accept the fact they will never walk, but don’t give up living which some do, is my point, there the ones who need to be guided.
My point is don’t let them dwell on pity, or console them don’t they need it,
boot them in the arse, and guide them. but hey I’ve met some inspiring tetraplegics in rehab, there happy people and make best of what they have .and have inspired me. and they do have a go and you can tell by there voice and attitudes they are trying

Topic: Biomechanics Injury Come Back To top Level

i feel i probably have been too aggressive in this thread. you are doing amazingly well, it is inspiring

just dont extend your luck to other people. i just had to go pull shit bit by bit out of a tetraplegics backside. should he be back at golf now? the vast majority of people in your position die. it has nothing to do with determination

you are making the most of what you were given so well done. just dont pretend you know that the same tetraplegic isnt doing the best with what he got. he will never walk, no matter how determined he is

as styles said, you have the right to say and feel whatever you want, and indeed have a totally different insight than the majority, but just consider how disrespectful it is to belittle people living through similar, or even worse, things you did

it is the small fights that are truly inspiring, not the final success

Topic: Biomechanics Injury Come Back To top Level

Styles,
I’m not referring to cancer at all, I’m referring to people who have had injuries.
I’m yet to see someone with cancer role over and die and give up, they fight as long as they can, Hey they give me inspiration and I admire them, I had 9 members of my family die of cancer, not one of them gave up and never felt sorry for themselves, they lived life to the fullest and always had a smile on their face.
Styles I get your point mate,
My point for people with injuries show them how to live again, boot them in the arse and say hey lets find what your good at,

Topic: Biomechanics Injury Come Back To top Level

nice!

sort of lucky you picked a girl instructor though!

:-P

Topic: Biomechanics Injury Come Back To top Level

Ditty, I put my back right out renovating and could no longer stand in the address position let alone swing. I had to give up golf. Finally got on to pilates years later, 9 months of it 5 days a week and I could play golf again and swing out of my boots with no pain. It was so effective I married my instructor.

Topic: Biomechanics Injury Come Back To top Level

Bio, I know your heart is in the right place and heaven knows you have the right to say what you think given the accident you suffered but, Soulman has a point.

Is every cancer sufferer a ‘quitter’ because they haven’t got up from their chemo and won the Tour de France?

Sometimes its better to tell your story and let others use it as an inspiration to themselves, rather than use your story as a hammer to tell them they should be doing more.

As has been said, pain is completely subjective to the sufferer, you may have a higher pain threshold than most of the rest of the population.

Topic: Biomechanics Injury Come Back To top Level

Soulman,
My back is stuffed,have arthritis 2/3 of my back, I have 65 % permant disability to my body,which even the insurance company agreed to. If you know the system may give you some idea how bad my body is.
I suffer from chronic pancreatitis which is debilitating, My whole body was crushed to an inch, all my internals are stuffed as well, had multiple operations. They sowed part of my bowel over make pancreas cause I when I was crush it cut my pancreas in half, I only have part of the head of the pancreas left,They sowed the bowel over to hole when they removed the other half, So ever time I eat my pancreas has a dummy spit from having to work so hard, It still weaps and makes my very ill.

Look I understand some people can’t help their situation,some things medicine can’t fix,but at least have a go, look at the para olympians, look at them, Problem with the system is we need to help these people and give them a will to live again, help them find something they can do or are good at, give them some importance, but I feel the government should fund more money to the health system to help these people out. Look what Christopher reed has done, Micheal J fox, we need more of these people to help out the others.
My Aunty had no medical evidence to verify caused her death even with an or topsy, As the doctor said a simple cold she had, wasn’t caused her death. She told us she didn’t want live any more,she lost her will. I’ve seen some amazing miracles and everyone comments are they had a will to live.
Soulman you can’t begin to understand, when you have lived through it you would totally understand and see what I see, but you can’t you never lived through it, how do I know you haven’t by the way you are speaking

Topic: Biomechanics Injury Come Back To top Level

bio has done and is doing a remarkable thing
in additional those personal stories were gold
no question.

however the commonly applied ‘one size fits ALL’ concept may not be a very prudent thing n in many ways too simplistic
even the bible does not do that
egs of therapies that work with some but NOT for all
are Hypnosis
biofeedback
CBT – cognitive behvioural therapy
TENS – transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation

kind of like club fitting (an analogy)
or spectacles fitting…
or even IQ testings
as simplistic comparisons

granted, there are ‘Common’ / generic principles that can be used across the board, but may not be in the best interest of the client
& at the day’s end,
a program for recovery based on a customised, individually tailored concept is usually the way to go

Topic: Biomechanics Injury Come Back To top Level

soulmanz , u sound like a healthcare provider ? dr, physio or psychologist by any chance ?

Topic: Biomechanics Injury Come Back To top Level

I went to a rehab hospital, people had less injuries then me and they are still there, why? they never tired, Then never went to the pool, they never went to physio, they never got mental therapy

i dont disagree with you regarding medicine. we dont need it the majority of the time. but to put every person who could not overcome a massive life altering injury into the ‘gave up’ category is shameful

honestly i lose respect for you if that is what you feel

should we not respect you because you havent been able to make the pro tour yet after recovery, just because you havent tried hard enough. im sure someone has done it before

or maybe because you havent been able to run the 100m dash in under 12 seconds? surely you can do that by now?

the bottom line, and the problem with biomechanics on a whole, is if you look at the body just from a mechanical perspective you can have absolutely no understanding of how it works. sure broken discs can still hold weight, but the neurophysiological changes, let alone the mental ones have nothing to do with that. there are a large number of things in this world you cant just ‘tough out’

did you seriously use your own great aunt as an example of someone giving up? there is nothing to say she could have, or even should have, done any different. all you had was a broken body, and honestly if all you have at the end of the day is a few bulging discs ive seen a hell of a lot worse

jeez, im totally not trying to attack you here, but being holier than thou because you have achieved something is ridiculous

can you imagine a golfer on the PGA that called all other golfers lazy because they havent suceeded? how would you feel about that person?

Mr C,
your cool, I never took offense, I wan the whole world to know about painkillers, see when we get a headache instead of listening to our body we run to the drug cabinet.
we should listen to our body, a head ache is due to either you dehydrated or to much artificial light (computer included), we are over working or we are stressed, So all your brain is saying oi slow up have a drink relax , i’m over loading here.
But instead be don’t listen, pop some pills, this come backs to haunt us at 50 we get a heart attack (working body to hard) or get cancer due to stressing, why we poped pills and never list and ened to our brain sending out a warning.

Contact the north sydney orthopaedic and sport medical centre they are the go and can direct you, their number is 02 99664700, they are awesome to get the right shoes and insoles etc, and there into running, will blow you out of the water with there knowledge

Topic: Biomechanics Injury Come Back To top Level

Soulman,
I understand your point, but this is where, People like met fit in I come along and show these people how to get buy and deal with it and over come there pain, as you said it’s how you condition your mind, I can easily see how you can take that road, which I have considered, no it’s not easy and everyday it’s a long battle and fight, but it’s sure better then giving up, See what people don’t understand is unless you have been what they went through no one can help them, They are alone in this battle, but if they had someone who can relate by a similar experience, who battled through, then they can be guided,
Ok when you have an op they put you to sleep your body deal with it,
When I crushed I had no painkillers,the guy freaked out who crushed me, and went a wall, I had to pick myself up off the ground and get help,
Pain killers only help comfort you, I wasn’t allowed pain killers on the way to hospital, the same radiant pain I felt then, I still felt being on pain killers,
A relative of mine was in car accident, he has every disc crushed and a titanium cage in his back, he can barely walk, he was on the pension, he took pain killers then said one day these do jack they don’t help and this was the turning point, I said start doing small things and slowly easy into work, he wouldn’t ,he feared he would lose his pension, I said just give it one try, He followed my advice and I helped him train his brain to fight the pain, after three years he is now working a labour intensive job as fitter and machinist earning top dollars, his words shit I’m in a hell of alot of pain, but when I see the pay packet at the end of the week which allows me to enjoy life it’s worth the heart ache and long fighting battle.
I’m sorry soulman there are thousands of these stories, you either lay over and die of get off your arse and do something about it.
It pisses me off when people play the victim act and give up, do some research read their med reports it’s all in writing did they really give it their all?or even tried, what they need is a good boot in the arse.
My aunty lived off a teaspoon of liver ,fighting liver cancer ,she lived seven years more, doctors gave her 3 months, a will to live, My grandfathers brother has fort cancer for 10 years his whole body is riddle and keeps going, doctors can’t work it out, how he’s still alive. a will to live.
My other aunty had a brain tumour, had it removed and her right side was paralysed, She is 70 years old, lives on her own, looks after her self, she drags her leg, she is 6 ft tall 90 kg’s, she was right handed,now has to use her left hand. she cooks,cleans,baths and dresses herself, She wakes up at 5 every morning it takes her 3 hours, to get out of bed, have a shower ,get dressed and make her bed, then sits down for a cup of tee,she needs a walking stick. a will to live. These people all smile and are happy people to be around too.
my great aunty when my uncle died, she didn’t want to live any more , went into hospital with a cold and she died, doctor opinion she lost her will to live.
I went to a rehab hospital, people had less injuries then me and they are still there, why? they never tired, Then never went to the pool, they never went to physio, they never got mental therapy, they quit.
I sorry soul man bull sh…t, I won’t accept that at all, Look at that little girl sophie, she soldiers on then some bastard runs her over, what did she do, dusted her got back on the horse and kept on going.

I’m not lucky, I live in pain 24/7, I choose my destiny and decided either I can roll over and die, or I can get off my arse and have a go.
Unless you have lived it or been through it you won’t understand where I’m coming from. Take away the pension and make them pay for all their treatments and I bet my last dollar they wouldn’t be laying around, playing the victim. We allow them to go down this road we all need a good boot in the arse for allowing it. I rip into people who console them, they don’t need it, what they need is to be guided

Topic: Biomechanics Injury Come Back To top Level

Mr C I haven’t touched painkillers in four years, pain killers burn holes in your brain, this is true not a myth,
All pain killers do is send a message to your brain, which blocks your receptors so you feel nothing,
If people believe that drugs stop you feeling pain, they have never experienced true pain beyond comprehension.

im all for helping yourself out, but this is pretty crazy. i hate narcotic painkillers as much as anyone, but there is a lot of good data out there that shows beyond doubt that if you hadnt had that anaesthetist doing everything they could to minimise your pain then, you would be in significantly worse pain now

without good pain relief at the time of an accident you are much more likely to have debilitating chronic pain

obviously you have chronic pain still, but it sounds like your injuries were horrific. consider you might be worse off if you didnt have those drugs

i really dont like the emphasis you place on ‘laziness’ though, as bad as your injuries were you have obviously been very lucky as well as determined to come out of it this well. some people after more minor injuries cannot move because of pain, and therefore without drugs cannot rehabilitate. there is no ‘laziness’ involved, nor is it about determination. some people are unlucky with how their brain re-wires itself in situations of pain, and they end up incapacitated

not knocking your effort, but sometimes it isnt as easy as learning to live with pain or pushing through it

amazing and inspirational recovery though

Topic: Biomechanics Injury Come Back To top Level

Bio you are truly an inspiration, from the sounds of things you couldn’t have had things harder and the fact that you have gotten through it all is truly amazing. Also, that comment about the drugs was directed at the Dart and was purely tongue in cheek. Lastly Bio, I am curious where I would look to for the info on proper running technique?
