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 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
