One tip that a guy was floating around on "personal lessons" on the golf channel is to have an internal clock for timing your swing. Do any of you guys count to a number so that proper lag is achieved? When I tried it today, I was thinking too much and couldn't make consitant contact. An example of this is counting to 2 when you get to the top of your backswing, and then to 3 when you hit the ball.

Usually use NXT Extreme's or HX Hot's

Sometimes I go Teeeeeemm-po. But not always because sometimes it causes me to over swing on the downswing.

I started counting "One, Two" on my backswing. I felt I was getting over anxious and not taking my time so I began counting on my backswing to slow myself down.

Use Vijay's tip....

He used to start his backswing on one and hit the ball on 2, but under pressure and the heat of battle, counting from 1 to 2 can be done quick because both the number 1 and the number 2 are only one syllable each. So, Vijay starts his backswing on 17 and hits the ball on the teen of 18.

I have tried this but only so it during my practice swing, I tried it while I was actually swinging and it was distracting to me. I use it to control my tempo but never during my actual swing. It's hard to take some one else's tempo and use it, everyone has a different tempo and different speeds work for different people.

Also try this little tip, when taking your practice swing don't swing at full speed. Swing at like half speed, concentrating on how far to take the club back and where you want different parts of your body to be during the whole swing. If you notice not many pros actually swing full when they practice swing, they refer to it as a rehearsal swing. You practice your swing at the range, you rehears your shot on the course.

      @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Wish I could have spent 5 minutes in the middle of the morning round to hit some balls at the range. Just did much more of right side through with keeping the shoulders feeling level (not dipping), and I was flushing them. Lol. Maybe too much focus on hands stuff while playing.
