But from all the videos I got today, when I managed to keep my foot down, everything looked much better.

Agree, I like the way that looks.

One thing you guys mentioned when I was out there last year was that I was setting up with my hips and shoulders open. These are from a few days ago, I look a bit to far open here, right?

Yeah, a bit. Mostly in your shoulders/torso. Hips are close to square. Knees seem fine. Tough to say given the dark clothing but I wouldn't expect to see your left arm under your right.

Just let your right arm (elbow) soften a little. That'll help close up the shoulders a bit. And it helps with some backswing stuff too, typically. So your last setup thought could be "soften and close" as kind of a one-step thing.

Great, sounds good. Thanks.

Shot an 81 at Maplegate Country Club. Driving was good (only missed 2 fairways), putting was solid (drained a 30-footer on 9 to save par), short game was awful (no surprise since I haven't practiced it in 8 months).

I missed most greens long, despite using a laser, so I probably need to adjust my club yardages. I was making great contact.

Your swing is a lot better now. :)

Been stretching out the drill work, to the point where I can take pretty much a full backswing and still look pretty solid into impact. [VIDEO]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2c2jbIAlr8[/VIDEO]

This one's from today. Little bit better still.

How does it look in a full motion?

Not sure. I'll have to take some full speed video next time.

It looks like my full motion swing....about as long anyway, definitely better though.

Nice A6. Look how bent back that right wrist is. Lots of power to unload. But because I'm a New Yorker, fair weather fan that I am, I have to deduct points for that Red Sox cap. :-)

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I mean without stopping the follow-through. Not full speed video.

    • Yes. If you choose to take the ball out of the bunker instead of taking maximum available relief… it costs a stroke.
    • I got another one today....Number 17. Par 5 that has water left and right on the layup. I smacked a drive down the left side and got a little lazy on the layup and fanned my 6 iron. With 112 to a crowned green I got it to 3 feet and birdie!  Only 5 and 15 is left for this year! 
    • Maybe I didn’t explain this properly. Back and front can be confusing.  There was no place in the bunker that didn’t have 2-3 inches of rain water in it, except for a small spot on the slope nearest the pin. If I had dropped there I would be moving 6-7 feet closer to the hole. Since my ball was just inside the bunker, farthest side from the hole, I dropped one club length backward, which brought me out of the bunker. I could not have hit from that deep of water. Are you saying I would have had to take a penalty stroke due to rain water? 
    • Day 550, May 5, 2024 Got a good hour in with a typical (for me) two-stick setup: pool noodle angled in front, yardstick on the ground angled 45° behind me.
    • Day 130: Cinco de Mayo Day 7/24 of Full Speed Spectrum training. Difficult training day after struggling to certify my warmup yesterday, and today. Finished 13 mph lower than my training speed on Thursday. Hope to hit some balls today.
