Read 'the biggest secret? SLIDE Your Hips' thread recently and went to the range today.  I've got lots more reading to do but would appreciate advice.  Thanks for any comments.

My thoughts are that I need to work on my back swing.  It seems like I slide back and move my head too much.

When you're turning your shoulders to get the club into your back swing try and keep your head steady. Just because your shoulders are turning doesn't mean your head has to.

It looks like you are bringing the club back way inside to where its pointing behind you

Played 9 monday.  Didn't make good contact.  I was too focused on keeping my head still but not really knowing how it should feel.  Played 9 Tuesday and stopped focusing on my head.  Made sure I got weight forward.  Made better contact.  I don't think I'll try to make changes on the course.  I'll go to range on weekends and maybe one other day each week to work on my swing then just try to reinforce those changes on the course.

Got the stack and tilt DVDs.  Recorded myself in the back yard.  Not worth posting.  I'm still bringing club back poorly (pointing towards right of target at top of backswing) so I'm trying to get the feel in my hands/wrists (and not even swing back that far).  Not sure that I'm tilting correctly.  It feels pretty awkward so far.  I plan to go to the range tomorrow so I can hit some balls.  I will post another video.

I like S&T; so far just because they explain why they do everything.  I play table tennis so I have a good grasp of spinning the ball but was always confused because I always read "swing path = ball path, face = spin" but didn't really question it.  I'm happy to know I did actually know what was going on and being able to make decisions for myself on the course will be huge (I expect).

      The Ryder Cup Ticket Prices

      By Beastie ·

      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.
