Here's another of the video's I got done this last weekend. This one is on the setup. Feel free to ask questions or comment.

Equipment, Setup, Finish, Balance, and Relax. All equal in importance and all dependent on each other. They are the cornerstones of a good golf swing.

Thanks Ringer. Love the "start well" video. Too often I'm doomed before I even start my swing becuase I'm uncomfortable, out of balance, etc. Need to work on establishing a solid starting position and this will help.

If you start out of balance, your body will move into balance when you take the club back and now you have to do something to compensate and get back to the ball.

I think I'm finally getting this through my thick head!!

I also realized that, after hitting my driver off the heel fairly often earlier this year that I was actually TOO FAR from the ball at setup. I initially figured..."well I'm hitting off the heel I must be too close." As I moved further and further away at set up, the heel shots got worse because I was lunging towards the ball on the downswing to compensate. It's the simple things I tell ya.

    • Day 58: night putting session for about an hour. Started with lag putting and ended with putts inside 9’. I need to work on putts from 6-12’, but in a solid spot overall. 
    • Birdied a different #6 today (incidentally, also a par-5, but not the same one on which I previously birdied).  Here's the funny thing though:  it's the par-5 that caused me to post my "how do I avoid bogeys?" on par-5s recently.  So I guess I still haven't parred that hole.
    • Day 20, May 24.  Played 18 today, very poor ball driving.  One GIR, and it was a 4-wood from the rough.  Several other instances of hitting a green on a full swing (and at least one full swing motion -- a 50% UW) that wasn't for GIR.   Still shot an 87 and even had a birdie (chip-in).
    • Welcome to TST.  I spent a bit of time in the UK but I had to look up Wagon Wheels.  Don't think I ever saw them.  Had to Google to see.  Couple similar items in US but Google says they are different. 😁
    • Day 264 5-24 Worked on getting chest through and arms down infront of chest. Contact isn't great yet but on video looking better.
