All of these are draws pieces

Thanks for that.

On the low point of the arc moving forward, you mean directly ahead of the golfer, correct? Not down the target line...?

Where the club head reaches it's lowest point is moved forward.  We want to hit the ball before that point to ensure an outward path.  This is where we talk about hitting out without swinging out to the right.

Out to in causes slices.  It also saps power.

Appreciate your help mvmac! I played 18 yesterday before i saw this and shot +6. Was sitting +1 through 11 then walked onto the 15 at +6. Had a stretch of bogeys but then pared 16 17 and 18.

Im going out now for 18. Ill try and put a few of these tips to good use. Thanks again!

Went to the range tonight and starting working on the shoulder turn and the knee flex.

Shoulder turn was hard to get comfortable with. But the knee flex felt really good. Just felt like it delayed the hips a touch and impact and was finishing position was at the target not open thus eliminating the pull fade. 90% of the time. Ill keep working on it.

Try to feel like like your starting your swing with your shoulder just like you would on a putt, where you take the club in a straight line behind the ball. Your left shoulder should come down, not around, in the first few feet of your swing. If you have a good backswing the downswing should fall into place.

I'd say learn this shoulder movement on your chip and pitch before you do it while swinging, my guess is that your pitching technique has the same flaw.

Went back to the range tonight and worked on the shoulder turn and knee flex. Once i hit a few balls and got a bit more comfortable with the turn i started hitting some really nice shots. And consistent to. Alot of balls landing right near each other which was nice. I think the knee flex really helps me not make the slight OTT move so i have been hitting a nice penetrating straight shot the last two range sessions. A few tonight had a draw but the wind was right to left so i am not really thinking much of it.

Hopefully i can have a few more range sessions after work this week and shoot some low scores on the weekend and get the cap down! :)

So had the lesson last night. My instructor was a pretty cool dude, nice and approachable, friendly guy. He gave me a couple of things to work on. Slight tweakage of the grip, relax my right elbow a bit more at setup and to straighten my right foot up at setup aswell. Felt a bit weird at first last night but i hit some solid balls after a while.

Then went to the range tonight and hit a bucket. I noticed last night and tonight with my new grip i started to get sore in the hands after 15 - 20 balls so i switched to the overlap grip. In the past the overlap has felt terrible but now with a slightly different grip it actually fells better than the interlock grip. Went on to hit some pretty nice balls, still feels a little strange at address but i know it will get easier once i hit a few thousand balls...

Gonna keep working at the range all this week after work and play on the weekend then book in again for another lesson.

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.

      Womens League .Golf Top Level Domain Name

      By iacas ·

      I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
