I swing out and it is even more pronounced when I am aligned at a target that is to the left (I'm left handed). Well yesterday I shanked the ball 3 times which all got me penalty strokes .

Anyone have suggestions/drills to work on swinging more down the line? I do have a poor impact position where the hips have not came through to show the two cheek position. Pretty much I am WAY too closed when coming through the ball.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sometimes when I'm hitting my driver at the range, I will put a yard stick about a foot in front of my ball and pretend like a need to hit it. It keeps me from pulling my arms in to quickly after I hit the ball.

      I have had the flu recently which gave me plenty of time to pore over Joseph Mayo’s instagram. I have hit a ton of shots each day on carpet and a little started how easy this shot is to make. Key thought for me is bring the club “no closer to the earth.” That really resonated with me. If I really steepen the attack angle I can hit my 58* lob wedge barely an inch or two off the ground and a repeatable distance. I don’t recommend this but tried it to what the end ranges are for angle of descent. I actually think a 62*-64* wedge might be even better for this shot.

      Day 306 - More of the same focus, grip and backswing. Used the Divot Board to see how group contact was, and as expected, half the time I wasn't even making contact with the board.

      Day 198 (16 Nov 24) - A little backyard pitching fun with the grandson with wedges, foam balls today.  Love working with him on short game drills.  Priceless is the word.
