Played at a decent-ish level into my late 30's including several USGA events. At my best I was a +3 though I think that was probably a bit inflated by an artificially high course rating.
Anyway, always had a bit of EE in my swing but managed it ok. Highs were good but lows could be quite low.
Took like 10 years to coach my daughters teams, etc. and I basically played more or less casually until COVID. Then tried to get serious when I turned 50 with the coming of Senior golf. In that time my EE got worse. I tried to mask it but I need to eliminate it or I can't play very well at all. Super frustrating. Tried multiple lessons with multiple teachers and just realize that without eliminating or significantly minimizing the EE I can't play at any sort of level.
I am now 55 and currently a 3.5 index.
Bought the "Getting Rid of Early Extension" video from Luke Benoit after hearing him on several pods. Will be seriously following the protocols and taking my time with it. I expect the rest of this season is toast but that's fine.
Will post some before videos soon and progress as well. If anyone has done that protocol I'd love to hear feedback.
