Well, if anyone read it I had a post last week about how awful I did my first time out this year. I either chunked or pushed every shot I took. Well, I went out today and I corrected everything. It was fantastic. I made 3 simple changes and everything clicked.

1 - On my takeaway I started to let my clubhead turn up sooner which created less tension in my wrists and forearms. Part of that was just from a better grip.
2 - I stood just a little further away from the ball and allowed a little more bend in my waist.
3 - This is the only thing I had to concentrate on really. I made sure my arms felt loose before I started my forward swing so I didn't force the club into a plane. Letting my arms relax sooner allowed them to actually set themselves where they should be naturally leading the club through the impact zone as it should. I noticed more consistent ball flight, better spin, and much better chipping as well. My contact felt solid and I actually had a good idea of where the ball would land.

All it took was a little work, just stopping to think between shots on what felt right and what seemed forced...

good job usually when Im having a bad day out there I try to go to the basics of keeping my head down through the shot and just try to think positive
