1. what speed player are you?
-
speedy fast - no practice swing, stand over the ball, look at the target once and fire away. you wife only allowed you to leave her sight for 2 hours so u better hurry up!8
-
steady pace - you know your game and know the course and am not out to break the course record today. your not trying something new today or taking mulligans. your just getting a round in and doing what you do35
-
normal - today is the day! you know what you did wrong last time you played from watching the "golf fix" and today your gonna get it right even if it means taking a mulligan or two8
-
hit the ball already - you have checked your gps, carefully selected a club and then the wind picks up 1 mph so you carefully select anouther club. you throw the grass in the air even when putting and have 20 swing thoughts in your head that cause your to take up to 4 mulligans on each hole.2

Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. -
_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.
