before my round last yesterday i took the kids to the park, which is part of a big playing field 2 football pitches,

so i took along my 56* wedge and chiped/pitched/flopped anywhere from 50yds in to the goalpost which was my pin, also i tried a shot where you get 2 balls touching and take a normal swing bit of a trick shot if you will, the front ball scoots along the ground the rear ball which you hit, goes strait up high in the air practicly no distance pretty cool tbh,

so i was showing my mate and he wanted to try it so he set it up and failed, 2nd try got it up and so wanted to try it a 3rd time max power boom he hit it sweet, the ball popped right up into the air fast as you like propmtly hit the crossbar came back at him and hit him in the hand, he went down like a sniper just picked him off

im in stiches laughing, didnt belive it had hit him until 10mins later golf ball sized mark on the back of his right hand dimples and all

just wish it was on camera!!

I've done the two ball trick quite a bit back when I was in high school. I never did it for the height though.

I always did it in a bunker next to a green. In addition to the high ball going pretty vertical it has an enormous amount of backspin and usually comes back into the bunker (i.e. 20 feet forward onto the green, spins back at me, through the fringe, through the rough and back into the bunker). That was the fun part of that shot to me, not the height. watching a ball with 20-40 feet of backspin was pretty exciting.

    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers. 
    • I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
