See, but when I do that, on the down swing, I feel like I'm having to reach out for the ball. It feels very strange, and I end up hitting very thin and to the right shots. What would you recommend doing about that?

Well, any thing you do differently will feel strange at first. But it is important you are convinced in your mind before making such a change. Study the impact and set-up positions of as many pros as you can, paying attention to head position. You will find all great ball strikers stay behind the ball throughout the swing til after impact.

In answer to your question, pay very close attention to your right knee and foot. Make sure you stay on the inside of that foot going back, and keep the knee flexed exactly as at address. You want to feel the inside of the right leg energized at the top. One of the best drills to develop that feel is to make some pitch length swings with your feet about 12 inches apart but with your knees pressed together and keep them like that throughout the swing.

Well I'm back with a question. For the past few days, I've been push slicing EVERYTHING. Not to mention I'm hitting them fat 50% of the time. Could anyone give me some tips on why I push-slice the ball? I'll see if I can get some videos later.

Well it's been about a year since I last played, and a recent invitation to the Masters has sparked the golfer in my again, and I have fallen in love all over again. It's my second day of recovering my swing, and this is where I'm at so far:

Any suggestions?

    • It’s not live on free to air tv in the UK, and hasn’t been since 1995. ( I pay a subscription to Sky for generally good golf coverage). There are limited highlights on the BBC for some golf events, but that’s it. Are other/all PGA events on NBC?  Allowing ticket scalping is a systemic failure across sports and showbiz, which could be legislated against, but in the UK is not in any meaningful way. I don’t know much about the secondary market in the US or anti scalping measures.  Charging more to keep prices down is an interesting concept, in practice no doubt you are right even if It sounds a bit Catch 22  Do you think sports tickets and broadcast rights  should be sold on a purely capitalist basis, or is there an argument to say that some sports might benefit more from wider exposure and affordable access. ( golf in the US is apparently not one of these if tickets sold out at those prices so quickly)  Fans might benefit from cheaper tickets and in the UK at least, TV coverage that reaches a wider audience.

    • Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.
