Keeping her hips in place in the BS, then lots of forward.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Mr. Desmond

I recognize a little dip is fine, but that is a DIP.

Wouldn't mind seeing a slo-mo swing.

I also saw her practice that ... and am mystified. But I'm no Ledbetter.

Yes, a lot of lateral, but it just looks so, wonky. With the funny looking putting stroke and this, well, I guess if it works... She did win the USO, so whom am I to judge?

Didn't work so well on this swing.

But it is only one swing. I worry more about what Leadworst is doing to Lydia Ko. I think he is destroying her.

I agree. Her hips are really open at impact with her normal swing, more so than almost any golfer I've seen. A little more lateral movement would probably serve her well.

At the end of the swing her weight is falling to the back foot. I guess she was mentally bailing due to the OB left.

How is Ko being destroyed? She just tied a pretty substantial record for consecutive rounds under par.

They had a video from the range with Leadworst working on keeping her right knee flexed into the backswing. He was holding a towel around her leg. This is cause her to drop the head on the start of the backswing and all hell breaks loose from there.

Her swing from her younger years had her straightening her right leg on the backswing keeping her head more level and the swing looking better.

When asked Leadworst offered some excuse about how she was tired.

      Second Cortisone Injection Today

      By flopster ·

      Just want to share a quick update with everyone. I went to the range the week before last, even though I took it easy no significant pain occurred just a slight twinge when I swung my #4 hybrid. The most encouraging news was no soreness the next morning. However I think switching back to graphite shafts is definitely gonna happen, my mp15's were fitted with X shafts and having something lighter will help.
