I'm not bragging at all but I shot a smooth 73 and I'll tell you how I did it for those you

have tried everything out there. I don't believe this is the only swing that works but if you are having a difficulty finding something that works give it a try.

If you already have a good swing this is not for you.

Take a 2 knuckle grip with a pressure of 3 and your arms hanging like limb ropes.

Stand tall with a slight bend in the knees. Feet shoulder width apart for all clubs.

Ball position Off heel with driver, 3metal off breast pocket then move ball back 1/2 inch for the other clubs until you reach the 7 iron to lob wedge is in the center except for specialty

shots.

Turn your shoulders and let your arms swing back with no pressure in you hands or arms

the left arm can bend some, raise the hands in-line with the ear and at ear height. The left hand will have a slight cup in it.

The back hip will turn as far as possible the chin will be under the shoulder or bicep depending how far you can turn.

Now turn your left hip back to the left and your right knee down the line and then let the club head follow as the back of the left hand squares up and then rolls over and the shaft

touches your left shoulder.

The main idea, is to turn the left hip and right knee down the line and this pull the arms and hands in the correct position.

Make slow swings at first and don't get in a rush and this will work for you.

Drill Hold the shaft on your right shoulder then make your left hip and right knee pull the club into the ball. *Warning check with a health professional before attempting these movements.

Lefty' s just reverse these moves.

I hope this helps someone!

Remember on the back swing let the arms follow the shoulders.  This may be more inside than you are use to.  Now all you have to is turn the hips and drive the right knee toward the left knee .  Do this is slow motion and you will see your hands are ahead of the club head and your right elbow is next to your side letting the lower body swing the arms.  It works, no over the top.

Well... if that's all you gotta do then it should be easy. With those instructions I think I might even try it from the left side and come in with a 79.

I love the warning to check with a health professional before you try any of what he said.

I wish I could say it is easy.  Some days you can do nothing wrong and some days it doesn't go as well.

These are suggestions that I have found work for me and other students.

I hope it will help someone but I know not everyone can feel the same type of swing I describe and that is why there are many swing theory's

out there.  Find the one that works best for you and stay with it.

    • Day 111 - Worked on my grip and higher hands in the backswing. Full swings with the PRGR. 
    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.  
    • I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?
    • What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛 
    • It's pretty close. The odds of a 50/50 shot going your way 21 times are greater than 1 in a million!  I guess your point is, that simple fact is not enough to declare these guys dirty rotten sandbaggers. I disagree, but fair enough. I posted it here on the message board to get different perspectives, after all.  I probably won't be digging further into specific scores. I have no dog in this fight beyond a generalized contempt for sandbagging. With that said, it would not surprise if a lot of clubs shared my concern and were grousing about it to the SCGA.
