She is doing things the right way IMO; a very solid amateur player, turned pro and is working her way through the ranks learning how to compete. Michelle Wie could take a page from her book.

Didn't she have a father or mother die shortly before she played in the US Amateur a couple of years ago? Seems like I remember something sad that had happened to her. Glad she is doing so well.

Hurst's father died of a stroke while she was trying to qualify for the Ginn Open.

Morgan Pressel's and Dakota Dowd's mothers each died of breast cancer when they were young teens.

Dakota Dowd's mother died? I didn't know that wow. It was not too long ago ESPN did the special on the two.

Yes, Dakoda's* mother, Kelly Jo Dowd, passed away in May 2007 at the age of 42. The Ginn Open winner's trophy was renamed in her memory. Lorena Ochoa was award the first "Kelly Jo Dowd Trophy" earlier this year when she won the Ginn Open in April.

*I misspelled her name in my original post - sorry.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
