I have been struggling with my irons.  Cant even elevate the darn ball.  Even my wedges were awful at range today.  I was blading them and hitting them right.

I made ok contact in the past, but I was casting the club and scooping shots.  Im now working on shifting my weight to compress the ball, but its not working. I never take divots with my irons.  My take away is great, but everything after that is not. Questions:

1)  What swing thought should I have prior to starting my downswing?

2)  Do I initiate the dowmswing with putting weight onto my left foot?

3)  Any good drills on how to shift weight so I start taking divots?

Thanks for the help.

Went to range today.  If I just focus on rotating through the ball I maje good contact but distance is sacrificed.  For the life of me, I cant seem to shift my weight and rotate at same time.  Lol.  Cant put the 2 together.

I bought some alignment sticks.  Going to stick one in ground right in front of my left foot and work on making sure I contact it with my left hip on downswing.

Watch the first video to get the idea of what happens and how to get that lateral move towards target. Use the second videos drill to work on it.

    • No rain while I was out (9am to 11:30am). Fairly pleasant for a late November day in the Mitten.
    • Day 56 - 2024-11-25 Did the BAD Challenge and hit a bunch more other little shots. This was one of the closer shots.
    • 70 today. The number looks good but, the course is a par 67 (5,110 yards, 64.3/115.). While the 70 took quite a few good shots to achieve, I am not counting that as shooting my age.
    • Played our town’s executive course this morning. Everything is closing but for now Huron Hills remains open. #13 is shaped like an upside down backwards L (dogleg left). Only 231 yard par 4. Dogleg has a tree guarding the corner and a sand bunker guards the green for those cutting the dogleg. Tiny green. About 10 years ago or more I would try to cut the dogleg. The hole is so short that even if one tangled with the tree or was bunkered, par was likely and birdie was still on the table. Now in my 70’s, I just hit it straight and try to wedge it close for birdie. Today I screwed up and pulled my drive. I wandered around a bit when my ball was not in the bunker. Finally located it on the approach to the green. Almost chipped in and tapped in the 2 inches for birdie. Best unintentional shot of the week. 😲
