Well let's see. She's laid off, she has a bad grip, her spine angle isn't consistent, her weight transfer is non-existent, she sometimes fails to watch the ball while she's swinging at it, sometimes she starts her swing with the club above her head, she shanks like crazy, and her follow through is short because the club sticks into her stomach just a little bit.

It's funny, though, cuz I've never been happier to see such a worse swing in my life. I think the only way I could be happier is if someone with her swing (she's barely 3, by the way) wanted to play me straight up for a million bucks.

Turns out I was wrong about the weight shift. Look at her little left heel just coming off the mat!

Great pic!

Yeah, I wish I could turn my shoulders like that. Plus, check the right elbow -- perfect position.

My problem is that my 3 y/o sees my swing then does the same mirror image..thus making him a lefty..should I let this go..or correct him? I've seen swing from both and he does seem to make better contact going southpaw (on his Fish Price Fred Flintston set)

Id let him go....I mean...if thats how he natrually grabs the club, even if it is from watching u, let him swing away, nothing wrong with a south paw

    • Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills. 
    • That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness. 
    • Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.    
    • Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
