I'm leaving for a meeting in Las Vegas tomorrow, and this has been consuming a large portion of my time the past week. I haven't even had a chance to get to the driving range since last Saturday which has been pure torture!

All my work should be done by Saturday, so as a reward, I've planned two rounds of golf on Sunday and Monday. One is at the TPC at the Canyons , the other is at The Falls in Lake Las Vegas . I am very excited about both courses, especially the TPC. Part of me wanted to play at Bali Hai to live the Big Break II experience, but I figure it's been seeing a lot of play recently.

I've packed my digital camera, so will try and take some pictures of the courses and upload them upon my return next week!

Man! I feel fortunate to not have a bunch of snow on the ground... I would love to spend some time golfing in Vegas. You'll have to give us the scoop on courses, conditions and your game. I would love to have some warm weather and some days off right now.

Veterinary convention in Vegas starting this coming weekend.  Wish I could afford to go along with the Brother in Law when he attends.

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
