I have been reading a lot about technique and what not.. trying to learn as much as you can on paper then applying it at the range.

I am now at a point where I feel I have really good ball position and leg flex but, I am topping the ball constantly. If I tee the ball up just barely, I can hit beautiful shots.

I have this weird phobia about the ground. I just have this mental block that when the ball is on the ground I wont be able to accelerate through it I guess. I use to chunk the ball a lot so that may have something to do with it. I have sense fixed that for the most part.

Isn't this very weird? I am running out of ideas to help me. I think it's mental. Any tips to help me drop about a 1/4 inch consistantly? I feel like my knee flex is perfect and my distance from the ball is good but, I may be wrong.

Sounds to me like your heads popping up but without video hard to be certain. Thats a common issue though.

I'll try that. I have even tried taking practice swings over and over and I can't "scrap" the ground. I can force it to hit but it feels unatural and it's inconsistant..

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Hole 6, 185 uphill par 3, wind out of the right. I hit a 7 iron to 5-FT left of the pin. The ball landed about 185.5 yards. I drained the putt for a birdie, and most likely a skin.  2nd place is more of a best swing made. 110 yard wedge shot, where I did what I wanted in the back swing and downswing.  I hit a 75% partial wedge 95%. It was flushed, flighted, and beautiful to watch fly over the green. 🤣. I will need to redial in the wedges sometime. Since I am making an effort to make my former 3/4 swing length my full swing length.

      Anyone Else Stick a GPS Tag in Their Golfbag?

      Is that like "the longest yardstick you can find"? I don't have Airtags but I'd call all of them Airtags too.!

      Wind and Putting?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Yea, that makes sense.  I remember an Open tournament when they brought out the wind meter one day because balls were being blown around the green. I think it was 45+ sustained, which probably means 60 mph gusts.  I think for the most part, it isn't something that needs to be taken into account.  Also, a golf ball is designed to optimally move through the air. It has better aerodynamics than a sphere.  Thanks for your expertise on this. That makes sense. I know about how wind diminishes the lower in height you go. I didn't know it went near zero at the ground. I deal more with tall structures (utility poles), and we have to take into account height and impacts of wind on the pole. A bit of experience, but wasn't sure how close to zero, non-impactful it was on the golf ball on the ground.

      Day 2 (7 Aug 25) - More work on tempo with mid-irons, moved to wedges for the balance of the drill.
