I have a life update to post here, not sure this is the best place but seems decent enough. I haven't posting as much as in the past. Mainly because my old job blocked me from pursuing the sight durin

Here is some video from my last range session. I start with 3/4 swings then swing about 60% then move to full speed. I am working on @mvmac suggestions of flattening the shaft between A4 and A5

Still struggling with letting my head move backwards.

I wouldn't worry about it much.

The URC is near the top of your sternum. Consider that it is a lot closer to whatever your "swing center" would be if there was one swing center in the golf swing… and if your hips go forward, and your URC stays pretty stable… your head - which is "above" the URC - will go backward a bit.

Right? :)

Still working on the same thing. I seem to conquer it during some sessions and lose it during other. Just isn't second nature yet. If it is the only thing I think about it can look good. Today I tried to work on increasing my shoulder turn. Interestingly I unknowingly started to lift my left foot on the backswing. Doesn't seem like a big deal so I am not worried about it.

Working on the same thing. I am trying so hard to get extension you can see me even get the foot off the ground. It is getting closer.

I like some of the stuff you are doing. How are you hitting it? Not sure if you're working with an instructor but I'll share my thoughts anyway ;-)


Couple things I'd like to see.

- Narrow the stance slightly.

- "Bend" the left hip down more on the backswing. Hips are drifting right, head is raising and the inside of the right foot is rolling back. Basically I'd like to get the pressure in the feet get a bit more balanced in order for you to get the weight forward without tipping the head and for you to push off the ground more efficiently.

You can still feel like you make a big shoulder turn and I'm fine with the left heel raising but getting that left hip to bend down more as you pivot from 1-4 is going to line things up better for the downswing.

So, for this fall and early part of the winter I have been working on my putting stroke. So far the results are mixed. I started out bringing the putter WAY outside the line and then readjusting by opening the face just before impact. I have been working on trying to create an arc towards the inside on the backswing and the results on video have been looking better. On the course I am thinking too much causing my speed to be WAY off. Still working on taking the practice to the course.

 

I also let my head start watching the ball right away which I am trying to stop also.

 Looks a lot better. Time to start looking at this?

In sort of a regression pattern now. The lower body is looking quite awful. I am still hitting it pretty well, but the lower body action needs much more work.

Latest swing sequence. Ball striking has been pretty good. I still struggle in the same area with respect to extension so I will keep working at it.

      I have won the net division of the 2024 William Anderson Match Play Championships at Neshanic Valley Golf Course.

      I won the net division of the match play tournament. Yesterday was the semifinals and my opponent conceded the round to me on the 2nd hole because he knew he would be unavailable for the final today. I got lucky there and got a bye into the finals. We did end up playing our match as an exhibition and I would have lost. It was the worst round of the tournament for me and I think knowing that the match didn't matter might have been a factor. I'll write up a blog post about the whole experience at some point. Today I won, 3&1. My opponent and I halved the first three holes much to his credit. I was striping it and he just kept scrambling and hanging in there. We both blew up on the par 3 4th hole but I ended up taking that one by holing an 8-footer for double bogey. I went up 2 after he put two in the penalty area on #5 and promptly gave that hole back by putting my tee shot into the penalty area on #6 by a foot. It's important to note that most of the penalty areas on this course are deemed environmentally sensitive areas and we are not allowed to enter or play shots out of them. So even though I physically was able to play a shot from where I was on #6, I could not, by rule. I followed that by winning #7, making a 25' birdie putt and finished the front 9 3 up after he had some bunker trouble on #9. I went up 4 by winning #11 (we both sucked on that hole but he missed the putt to halve). On #12 we both hit the green with our tee shots. He hit his first putt past the hole and I lagged mine inside of 4' with an uphill putt for par. His putt for par was too long again, just inside of mine but definitely outside of gimme range. I gave him that one for bogey. I felt at the time, being 4 up, that I didn't want to win the hole because he ends up missing a 3-footer and fourputted or something. I wanted to win the hole by making my par putt. I did not. He probably would have made the putt anyway (he's not me after all, and he made everything in that range all day) but it seemed like the sporting thing to do at the time. He was genuinely surprised I gave it to him, butI felt good about it. Then it almost bit me in the ass as he started to mount a comeback. We halved #13 after he made a great up & down and he took #14 with a long par putt. He also won #15 with a 5' birdie putt. We halved #16 with a pair of bogeys after he put his tee shot in the water and I missed a 4-footer for the win. We got to #17 and I was still 2 up. He hit his tee shot just off the back of the green to an extended apron area short of the back bunker and I put mine on the green pin high but 30' away. He was actually closer so I played first and hit it within a foot for par. He didn't hole out for birdie which sealed the match and ended up making bogey on the hole. With the pressure off, we both played the par 5 #18 well. He played it as a three shot hole like a normal person and hit it to 8' and two-putted for par. I striped my drive and ended up with a downhill lie to an uphill approach like 180 yards out and gave myself the green light to go for it in two. Thin hooked it into thick rough to the left of the green with a bunker in between and hit a high flop to 4', probably my best shot of the day. Made the birdie putt.
