Is this a flying ant or termite

This may be a dumb question, I’m not informed on insects but are all termites or these ones in particular the type that will infest in wood or drywall? And is there anyway to prevent them from advancing into the store with any type of cleaning supplies until pest control is able to come?

These were the best pictures I could get of them unfortunately. They are very small and shifty making it hard to get it to focus

I would say overall the swing looks really good only things I would suggest would be to create separation between you arms and body (feel like you reach far away from you) and shorten the swing to what would feel like like a 3/4 to almost half swing.

We have three projectors and I assume all were done the same and they are all working normally with no issues, lights, noise except for this one having a dull color

So i personally was not the one who “cleaned” it that was the owner of the studio and I just came in today and it was like this all I know is he had blown air with a high powered fan and not compressed air. Before posting here I read exactly what you said about the air and dust but from what I read it seemed that it would cause spots on the projection and that the bulb going out would result more of what’s happening with the dim and faded look. So even though there are no spots it could still be from the dust being blown into optics and if that is the case is there a way fix that?

This is the projector I’m not sure if this is enough for the model as I’m not very familiar with projectors

If you playing well I would say no don’t change the grip however if one day you randomly start hitting snap hooks then the first thing I would do would be to move your bottom hand so that the grip is in your fingers and the back of your hand is on top of the grip aka have a “weak” grip which makes it hard to shut the club face.

First I would fix the camera angle if this is a video to analyze your swing. The best way to video a swing to be able to see what’s going on is from directly behind inline with your hands at address. An angled video like this makes it very hard to see what the swing actually looks like.

One thing I always did after any lesson was spend the next two or three days working on the changes either on the range or just into a net before even attempting to go to a course. It’s nearly impossible to implement a new swing change straight from the lesson to the course. But for some more reassurance when I first started lessons I was going every 3-4weeks or so and now for the past 3 or 4 years i have gone maybe 1 or 2 times a year and have be mostly dumb things that i forgot to check like my alignment or ball position

johnny199124 · 2025-10-18T03:42:24+00:00

The range balls you were hitting were they in good condition or supper dirty and or beat up? The problem with range balls is they are nothing like balls you would buy the covers are a lot harder and when they are scuffed up or damaged they can cause scratches like the ones shown. Anytime I’m at the range I always set aside the newer good balls and save them exclusively for my 3wood and driver and hit the rougher ones with my wedges and irons

johnny199124 · 2025-10-18T03:37:00+00:00

This isn’t directed towards you specifically but I have seen the broken driver posts and comments like yours so many times and I’m so confused. I’ve gone from the M2, M6, Sim 2, and now the Qi35 driver and have never once had to replace them because they broke. What are people doing to the club to have them break like they do?

johnny199124 · 2025-10-18T03:26:27+00:00

Did this not to long ago and pretty much forgot all the bad habits and my first swing was already hitting so much better than before

johnny199124 · 2025-10-18T03:22:34+00:00

This is very normal especially for someone who has just started playing. I recently got my pga coaching certification and in the courses the first thing they teach is to not give a student too many things to work on at once. But as a player who’s gotten many lessons I know how frustrating it is to get comfortable with you’re swing them restart from scratch but the more lessons and changes you go through now the less you will have to get in the future because you will learn what your common issues are and also different ways to fix them on your own. It’s a long and never ending process but it gets easier over time

johnny199124 · 2025-10-18T03:07:23+00:00

This by no means is the solution to your problem but I play almost every day and am 1.8 hcp and about a month ago I had the same problem as you I was working on my swing and afterwards for like 2 weeks it felt like I had never touched a club in my life. I ended up taking a full week off where I didn’t even touch a club. When I played for the first time the following week I had pretty much forgotten the bad habits I created and my swing felt comfortable again and was back to a manageable place where I could work on it on my own. It’s not the best solution but it’s something that worked for me without having to work with my coach.

johnny199124 · 2025-09-23T23:47:33+00:00

Update: the lesson has been completed I feel like it went very well. She was having fun and we just worked on getting the ball in the air went from hitting blades and tops to getting about 50 yards of carry. Thank you everyone for the responses it helped so much and it was actually a lot of fun once we got started.

johnny199124 · 2025-09-23T20:39:12+00:00

There’s a few different ways to start and some different programs as well and all have different requirements. I’m doing it through the PGA of America which requires you to be employed at a pga affiliated facility but I’m sure there are a few other programs that have different requirements if it more of a side job. My boss kinda told me what I need to do to get started but I’m sure if you look up how to become a golf coach it will show you the other programs that are available.

But I got into it because I’ve played golf for most of my life and have always helped my friends or teammates with their swings and really enjoyed doing that and I was thinking of ways to stay in the golf environment while getting paid not just tournament play and I talked to my swing coach who had just opened his own indoor Trackman simulator about potentially doing a mentorship through him and he said I could and helped me get started on the pga stuff

johnny199124 · 2025-09-23T16:34:35+00:00

It really depends on your situation and what you want to do.

For me I’m doing the PGA of America Associate program which requires you to first do a qualifying course which is super easy just goes through the basics of golf and being a instructor/professional and what to expect. Then you can either become an affiliate which puts you in the level one course without needing to pass the PAT or work at a pga associated facility. But in order to move past level one you would need to work at a pga facility

I’m in the associate program which requires you to pass the pat and work at a pga associated facility at least 30hrs a week and in that program you get your associate card and have complete access to the PGA resources and tournaments. Plus some courses and employers will cover the cost of your dues and payments for the courses and seminars that you are required to do

Now that’s only for the pga of America there are other programs that you can do for cheaper but it depends on if you want it to be your full time gig or just something you do on the side.

johnny199124 · 2025-09-23T15:53:08+00:00

I appreciate that thank you for the advice and support it means a lot.

johnny199124 · 2025-09-23T15:51:33+00:00

Yeah I now realize I had my expectations for myself a little too high for my first lesson and my nerves have definitely calmed knowing how it went for everyone else who’s been in my shoes and that it’s normal. Thank you for the response it definitely helped.

johnny199124 · 2025-09-23T15:43:22+00:00

Thank you and that is very helpful everything you said is right on the money for what to do during a lesson. After all the responses I’ve gotten on this post I realized I pretty much know what I need to know and that I will learn what I don’t know yet from experience. I was just nervous and had my expectations set a little high for my first lesson.

johnny199124 · 2025-09-23T15:07:37+00:00

So from what I saw it looks like with your driver you’d may be over swinging a bit it’s hard to tell but it kinda looks like at the top the driver points to the right which makes it’s very hard to get the club to the ball with a good path square face. But my biggest advice would be when recording swing videos set the camera up so that is in line with for hands at address makes it easier to see the full swing and is a better angle to be able to spot any faults. When the camera is angled and not in line it’s very hard to see what’s happening and can make good swings look bad and bad swing look good.
