Well, I hate to admit this, but no 300 yard drive, despite witnesses, unless my GG is not accurate.  This happens all the time at my league, guys tell me I hit it 280 then GG tells me only 250. Here is my GG from Whispering Woods #17, it registered 277. I'm not complaining, it was still a nice poke that I was happy with.

What I'd recommend… 8am to 9am - I get started with @StuM and @dennyjones. 9am to 10am - I help out @Chris Brooks and @Carl3. 10am to 10:45am - I help out @saevel25 and @ChetlovesM

Hey guys. This was totally worth it.  I had a blast and I feel like I have new stuff to work on.  PLUS - @StuM proved he CAN hit a 300 yard drive! It happened I witnessed it.

I think we'll set that at $100. Normal rate for 45-minute lessons for me is $80, so $100 for five hours of "time" at Golf Evolution seems okay. Cash is preferred, but checks are fine, PayPal is f

@StuMyou do know you’re supposed to round up to closest 25 yard interval right? Sort of like pumping gas in the Netherlands.

And YES, it was worth it.  I feel we should look at doing this again, maybe in the spring?

Happy to have you again. I’d again recommend playing before coming. If you want to play afterwards too, okay. But sometimes that doesn’t go well as you’re tired AND thinking about a lot that’s nowhere near ingrained yet.

Ah. Were you going by hole yardage? Doglegs… On the other hand it WAS wet.

Agree, day before and REST after lesson.  I was definitely done after the 5 hour group lesson.

Yes, looked at yardage and forgot to consider the dog-leg.  Still, on my league I will hit one on a straight hole znxvghd guys try to tell me I am 30 yards further than I am.

edit. Changed “fog-leg” to “dog-leg”

Dude, what are you doing? 
Don't let facts ruin a good drive. I will take the stand and swear it was 305! After all, "Anyone can hit a 300 yard drive."

Thanks for the invite...just saw this, been a busy summer/fall. 

In San Diego so I couldn't have made it anyway, but keep me in mind for the next one. God knows my game could use it...

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
