my game isnt too terrible, it was a lot better before the first lesson, I was shooting mid to sometimes low 90s. But yea it was pretty major surgery, a transplant actually. So I am considering seeking out a different instructor for a lesson or two until he gets back.

I cant seem to grasp the standing closer to the ball thing.. I feel like I cant have a good inside to outside swing path standing so close to the ball. In my old swing I would more or less hold the club out straight then bend at the waist until the clubhead touched the ground. In my lesson he has me just let my arms hang straight down almost and I just cant seem to hit a ball like this. What is my problem?

      Wow, largest ever 36-hole lead at the Masters. Seems good. I don't really have much to add, but I'm having a great time nursing a cold by watching this tournament.  I doubt Rory fumbles this one, but you never know. As a fan, I hope he can close this out with two rounds to go.  I saw a funny comment somewhere where someone said Bryson should try to 3D print himself a green jacket.

      Day 2, April 10 2026.  After watching today's excellent Masters broadcast, I have hit 18 balls, one at a time, each after doing the pelvis limiting drill.

      Day 33 (10 Apr 26) - Played in the club Friday shootout with a slight twist as the course was setup for tomorrow’s local “Masters” one day tournament.  The pins were in some slippery places and the greens firm and bouncy.  Overall made for staying the process all the more important especially on the greens.

      Rory up by six - makes me wonder if the powers that be will adjust Augusta’s moving day setup to be uber tough or uber getable to get a few closer.
