not sure i worded that correctly,i have a fairlystrong grip vs pointing off right shoulder read an article telling me when i drop the club down from the inside that the back of my left hand should face the sky and the palm of my right also should face the sky and as i rotate thru the clubface will automaticaly square up am i overthinking or is this a solid bit of advice

Having the back of the left hand and palm of the right facing the sky would be a pitch shot procedure to engage the bounce.

"Square" at impact is not really an option, and we don't need to consciously rotate the hands, that would actually encourage a slice

I would advise trying to feel more like this to hit it solid, these balls drew without having to add any rotation to square it up.  Want the clubface to be aimed right of the target at impact and have the path more out to the right by having the weight forward and hands forward.

    • Its way past time both tours  have  major  penalties for  slow  play. I  hate  it when they say" This group is  on the  clock". Big damn deal. Issue  penalties. Maybe Hull is a  bit too harsh but  its time a slew  of  2 stroke  penalties start  being  issued.     Charley Hull is fed up with slow play on the LPGA, so she offered a ‘ruthless’ solution “I’m quite ruthless, but I said, ‘Listen, if you get three bad timings, every time it’s a tee shot penalty; if you have three of them, you lose your Tour card instantly.’ I’m sure that would hurry a lot of people up, and they won’t want to lose their Tour card. That would kill the slow play, but they would never do that.” Who knows if that will work. But if it does not, maybe the PGA Tour should adopt Hull’s idea. The LPGA should, too, or at least assess penalty strokes for slow play. Five-hour rounds for a final group on Sunday is unacceptable and a quick way to lose interest and engagement from fans.

    • A hair under 190. It was pretty downhill, though, so I think we were playing between 180-185 to the pin. My 6 iron went 187 according to shot scope and ended up 18 feet away.
    • That's a tough pin on 14 at TR, had to make the hole play much longer, how far was that shot? I've only played that hole with a front pin.
    • No, but I spent (marginally) less time in the trees at Southern Pines, so it definitely played wider for me 😆. It definitely felt wider.
