Here's my most recent video lesson. I was helping some people with their release and I often use this drill to help them fully extend through the golf swing. I have lots of other videos. They're all free.

Hey Steve - nice theory on release!! I looked at a few of your other videos and clearly you are not yet winning any cinematography awards for your video instruction quality, but the content is great. The amount of full-swing stuff we see out there and on the Golf Channel is bursting with so much information, yet it seems that only Dave Pelz has his eye on what we all need so much, and that would be, in my case at least, a sure fire way to make certain contact from all kinds of lies within 8 yards of the green. Its mainly the chipping game I am talking about, where a sure-fire up & down technique is needed. I find that statistically I am not hitting GIR as much as I should, and that I am left with many of these easily rollable chips, a lot of which I do NOT place close enough to the flag for a certain up & down. Do you have a good routine or drill for chipping well? Would be much appreciated, thanks.

I'm definately not trying to win on cinematography. I'll hire someone to do it if I ever decide to do my DVD. For now I'm just happy about showing the content to help people.

nice vid Steve. It helps me to think there are 2 separate arcs being created, one on the backswing and another on the downswing. The lowest point on the downswing arc is several inches past the ball, which is why divots come after ball contact and full extension occurs after ball contact. It also means you're hitting down on the ball, one of the secrets to consistency and control.

I don't like the idea of DOWN.. I like the idea of LOW, and FORWARD.

Thanks Steve. I appreciate you putting these out here for us. Would you do this same drill with driver? I'm looking for a drill to keep the driver going down the line just a little longer in order to create a little more distance. More draw I do not need!

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I played in an outing a few years ago. The course was wet, and it was windy. We all did bad enough to reward us with a PCC of +1 (If I am remembering this correctly). So all of our differentials went up 1.  So, if that score is part of my best 8 out of 20. That means I am getting 1/8th of a differential improvement. For you to get a PCC, you need enough people submitting their score for handicap during that day. Let's say you were the only person who was submitting the score for handicap, odds are you are not getting a PCC.  Which is fine, because no handicap system can be that nuanced. I don't think you'd want it to be. Still, my statement is correct. It takes into account weather and abnormal difficult conditions.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I’ve been rather surprised how my original question relating to the logic behind “differential vs course handicap” elicited the responses expressed on this thread so far. I suppose it shows that there are many who have given this subject a lot of thought. I personally like the current system for the same reasons stated in the post by saevel25 and it works very well in our league. I just needed to get the reasoning/logic clear in my head so I could explain it succinctly to those who had questions. Regarding the ongoing discussion, the only tweak we make is only the scores made in league competition count. (We don’t use GHIN, we do the calculation ourselves.) The only additional thought I had is perhaps the powers that be can come up with a method, when doing the differential calculation, of giving greater weight to the rounds played more recently than those from 20 rounds ago. I’ve been testing this with an idea I had similar to the way colleges calculate GPA’s based on credits offered by different classes, but honestly, the complexity it adds to the calculation isn’t worth the trouble as any change made has proven to be inconsequential.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 102 11-21 Early practice session today. Flow drill, getting to lead side, and a bit of skills work. Really need to slow down and ingrain the "rotating" to lead side.  Feels weird-which is great, it means changes, I'm just going too fast right now.
