It's almost like I should re-read this thread and watch Mike's video every six months or so. Gawd I hate regression.

LOL mark it in your calendar

The video of grants right elbow action in transition explains a lot.. His position at A4 makes it easy for him to drop his elbow to his side and create "lag" but more importantly swing out. I know thetebisbthe ball between the arms while you take it back to A4 to help with this positioning, but are there any other drills it feels you guys know of that can help?

Yeah you need to give the trail arm/elbow some room to move down and forward on the downswing.

A drill for the spacing of the elbow from the side of the body?

Yes, and keeping the trail elbow from basically sliding across the seam so that the position of the elbow is maintained in the backswing just like grants.

You've probably seen this drill, right? Just put a tee in that right arm pit so the elbow can come off the side of the body by the upper part of the arm is still "connected".

Thank you, I will read through it! [quote name="mvmac" url="/t/54572/right-elbow-spacing-at-a4/20_10#post_1088488"] You've probably seen this drill, right?

The video makes a lot more sense to me after seeing the analysis Brian gave me as well.

Blast from the past. Mike this is great stuff. I am going to do the tee under the arm pit drill for all shots at the range tomorrow. I am trying to keep my right arm on my side.

I tried this in front of a mirror and the backswing looks way better also.

So I Tryed it today with a tee under the arm pit. My question is I can keep it under my arm pit but it feels the my elbow and 3/4 of my arm comes off my body but the tee stays in. This does get my arms in a greater and higher spot where I am just above the shoulder.

      Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!

      LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
