About a month ago, -4 after 17. Yanked two OB on 18 tee. "Welp, guess I'll try the 3 iron"

So smooth

Fore!

About 3 weeks ago... last time I played 18 holes. I was sitting on a 1 up lead through 15 holes. On the 10th hole (my 16th because it was a shotgun start) I completely topped the ball because my front foot slipped on the downswing... and my 3 wood went only about 35 yards or so. I hit a hybrid out of there into the fairway... put a wedge on the green but 3 putted from 24 feet to fall back to all square. Next hole, my opponent gifted me the hole when he played pinball in the woods while I made a bogey. 1 up standing on the 12th tee (my final hole)... I hit a 7 iron onto the green but it was 1 club too much. My opponent was all the way at the back of the green and his lag putt came up about 18 feet short. I absolutely BLASTED my ball 10 feet by. I figured he would miss his putt because it was a curler... but he drained it and my putt ran over the right edge giving him the hole and halving the match.

Complete choke job.

Playing in the league, had to give 7 strokes to a fellow. Was pretty close, even with the disparity until 16. Hit a good drive, and a good 2nd leaving me 120 or so from the pin(par 5). Under a tree, so I dont want to hit a normal shot, so I try ot punch out and run up to the hole. Use a 6I and hit it flush. Goes way over and into the bushes. Have to take an unplayable, put it on the green from there and 3 putt for an 8. End up losing the match by 1.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
