.) Another drill is the old glove under left arm. This will keep that left arm close and promote the hands rolling over.

Be careful with this drill. It promotes too narrow a takeaway on longer clubs resulting in the club coming back inside way too early at the bottom and a big over the top move. We want the left arm extended to a full triangle in the backswing with hands as a unit in front of the chest as long as possible. Its vital that the left arm stay as close to the chest in the downswing, but not the takeaway.

hi everyone!

I got back from my Lesson with the pro very happy.

It was as simple as this. Ball Placement on the Tee.

Before I was teeing the ball up like this: ( _= ground. f= foot. |=tee with ball)
_f_|__f_

that is the ball pretty much in the middle between my feet.

The coach told me to tee it up like this: ( _= ground. f= foot. |=tee with ball)

_f|___f_


That is the ball inline with my front foot.


Thanks to everyone for your advice!

Guys Guys Come on, wow Righty to Lefty your over analyzing, and your a 25 handicap? I play all season just fine, I don't do any specific muscle training, the golf swing is a thing that cant be explained and simply put like your trying to do. Like the earlier guy was saying his club face is open or is being allowed to bend open at impact if he can just get back to the basics and swing through the ball and release his hands like he is supposed to, and maintain a solid grip so that he can keep the club head square through the impact zone. That is what most likely causes the ball to start of straight and then fade to the right. Is that you grip isn't firm enough and the club face slightly bends when you impact the ball. So all your step aerobics are good and fitness is very helpful in having a consistently good square swing. He doesn't need all that info. Wow anyway good luck with your swing to the original poster of this thread!

Cheers Rick!

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
