Got my first lesson in over the weekend since playing again and it was great. This first lesson was a swing evaluation to see where I'm at, my tendencies, etc, etc. When I go back he is going to have me hit while recording data on a flight-scope so that will be fun and informative! I learned a lot about the cause and effect of the things I'm doing and I'm just pleased over-all with the whole experience!

Currently will be working on a stronger grip, aligning my shoulders to my target line (I was really, really open to my target line with my shoulders), releasing through the ball and finishing strong to feel that full follow through. It's amazing how a few simple things can impact a golf shot!

Hopefully that swing thought works for you, but there's a chance that it might not.

Yeah it was working for me fine during the lesson. It was one of those things I kinda forgot about from my previous lessons like 10 years ago. I also get in trouble when my tempo gets fast, big thing for me right now is slowing down and getting that club square through impact. If I get too fast and leave it all open we are going to be out to the right in Narnia.

Share some detail on what you mean by "releasing through the ball," @ShawnSum.

It can mean different things to different people. I'm curious what you're talking about with this in your case.

Slowing down what?

Everything. I have a tendency to get real quick with the tempo of my swing.

For me it's a feeling of releasing the energy of the club through the ball and really finishing strong rather than coming up out of my swing where everything looks like it stops for a split second (at-least that's what it looked like when I took some video of the swing). Maybe the better word would be rotating through the ball rather than releasing through the ball.

Probably.

When most people say "release" they talk about the hands and forearms rolling over each other.

      @DeadMan, I think your approach makes sense. As @dennyjones said, consistency is the key.

      Day 204 (22 Nov 24) - Weekly men’s group round today.  Temps in the upper 40’s, WNW winds 5-15mph - was the old man in the foursome (next youngest is my junior by 10yrs) - held my own against them.  Iron play getting more consistent -seeing predictable ball flights and distances. While the consistency coming around still had sone solid negatives as I had two dbls and one triple. On the plus side - eight pars and one birdie.

      I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By DeadMan ·

      Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.
