Yep, after recently joining a country club, I got my first real lesson from the head golf pro. It was mostly just an analysis this time, but we found most of my strengths and weaknesses. Surprisingly, he liked my full swings with driver through nine iron, only wanting to make stance changes to help get my hips open a little quicker. He also thinks alot of my inconsistencies have to do with my clubs. They are slagenzer super game improvement irons with a uniflex graphite shaft. He has a set of Wilson Staff Pi7 irons, S300 stiff shafts, that I am going to buy from him for $100. My big scoring problem, however, is my wedge shots and putting. I keep wanting to turn my hands over with the wedges and keep hitting them fat or thin. He also gave me a couple tips that seemed to really help my putting, such as forgetting about watching my putts so I keep my head and body still at contact through follow through. As you can tell, I am excited about my prospects. I am amazed with the progress I have made since coming back to the game earlier this year after ten years away. With a bit more practice and some better clubs, I think I'll be playing in tournaments (at the club) in no time!

Of course, I never said I'd be winning or anything...

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 3, April 11, after the Masters and before dinner, I had time (quite a bit of time, actually) to hit about two dozen practice balls, complete with the pelvis limiting drill.  As with the past two days, I would do the drill for pelvis limiting, then take slow rehearsals of the backswing, checking positions in a mirror, and then reset and hit.  These were all indoors, off a mat, into a net, primarily with a 6-iron, although a few were with a 9-iron.

      Day 234 4-11 Wrist arching and hips/chest in backswing. Really trying to hammer in the wrist arch, its such a  better swing when I do it correctly, its not in muscle memory yet.

      You know, I haven't followed much professional golf the past few years, and he wasn't the star of today's show, but I think I like this Sam Burns fellow.  I hope he plays well tomorrow.

      2026 Masters

      All of these missed fairways and the miraculous escapes followed by the seemingly reliable miracles suddenly stopping reminds me of another former Masters champion whose luck ran out on the 72nd hole of a major twenty years ago.
