Ok, we all have our set-up routines and I can appreciate that. Well, today I played 9 holes with a local Senior PGA bound gentleman that I was fortunate enough to be paired with. I shot one over on 9 and managed over a long way off the tee and he was right around 260 and shot 4 under! Oh, and I hit 1 fairway and was in the rough on every one after that and he hit EVERY single fairway and green in regulation He was absolutely amazing. The biggest difference I saw is that 170 so yards and in, he was within 15 feet and I was just lucky to aim for the middle of the green from the rough.

Anyway, here is where it gets interesting and when you see him on tv one day you will know his name because here is exactly how he sets up to EVERY SINGLE SHOT!

Driver: He extends his arms and gets into his exact impact position, from there he settles into his address and swings but keeps his distance from the ball. What I learned from this is that I think MOST golfers stand way way to close to the ball causing them to jam up at impact...

Anyway just thought I would share...

Why do more golfers not do this?

      Day 1 - First chipping and pitching. Focus on a better grip, the fundamentals and taking the club back on plane, not outside. Feels good. Then some full swings. Focus on improving the setup. Weight more forward, more bent over, and same grip stuff.

      Congrats on the improvement. Cheers for lots of continued improvement in the future. IMO you've gotta get away from these spots… Those are partly "results" as the work will begin on things earlier in the swing. Good luck.
