It has been a long time coming but I made my first real swings today in a very long time.  I only hit about 30 balls, but it felt great.  The wrist has some very slight soreness but overall it felt ve

The difference in your impact position is truly inspiring. Hopefully the scores will start dropping very soon for you

I appreciate that.  Unfortunately there is very little golf left in the season for me to find out.  The good news is I have the winter to work on it and I have a good feeling about everything for next season.

Yes there is always next year. Must be annoying have what, like 6-7 months of the year where you cant get out on the course? At least in the UK it be rainy and overcast but you can at least play for 11 months of the year usually.

Yeah seven months, and if we are lucky we will have eight. :)

Below is the main picture I like about what Erik and Dave worked on with me to change.  Before is on the left and after on the right.  My issue is pretty much all about what I am doing from A4.5 or so to A7.  The changes will help me a lot with keys 4 and 5 down the line. It will also help me with low point consistency and hitting the ball higher.  You can pretty much see this in the photos.  I have to fight a few bad habits but I will be able to correct them pretty quickly with some hard work and make it consistent.

If you don't mind me asking, what is the difference in feels or swing thoughts from the picture on the left to the one on the right?

Just what is written at the bottom of the picture for the most part.  I won't get into what my exact feels are too much but the words below the photo are a pretty nice description.  I will just say the feels with my arms are slightly passive and the lower body is more active in the downswing.  It is all about what happens on the way down as the difference in those two pictures.

Played a few holes this morning.  Oh dang what am I going to do?  I have to re-calculate my yardages. ;-)

Are you hitting it that much further? That picture on the right is amazing by the way.

Maybe up to 10 yards with the irons.  I will know more when I play on a warm day.  This morning I hit an 8 iron as far as I was hitting my 7 all summer.

I plan on seeing you at scratch or +.5 by mid summer, 2014. Excellent work and dedication man. Still bummed we weren't able to get that round in while you were up here. Next time...

We could always meet up when I'm in Chicago/Schaumburg next month.

Thanks Slice.  I would be overjoyed to be even close to a one something by that time.  I will keep working on the swing through the winter and time will tell.

Definitely, just send me a PM sometime when you are coming and we can hopefully meet up and get a round in.  There are some great courses down there.

Sounds good. I'll be there for two weeks in early October.

Perfect. Hopefully the weather cooperates. I'll be in Schaumburg during the weekdays, and Chicago on the weekend. Oct. 7th through the 17th or something like that.

Just a couple miles north of Medinah, what do you say we go...ah that's not going to happen. :-)

It looks like there is a nice county course nearby there.  Highland Woods.

At the range for lunch today.  Gave myself two shots at each angle to see if I am sticking with it or regressing.  Pretty happy for the most part.  Head dipping back in the FO video...back to work.  Hitting the ball much higher and farther.  Miss is now a slight little push cut.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.

      By WillieT ·

      Day 16 (17 May 24) - Plans to play a local course with a good friend fell through, got with my son to play Minnesott.  Turned out to be a great day of golf - as we were playing behind the Friday Men's group, pace was steady but not rushed or dreadfully slow.  Had a solid day of ball striking - managing 11 of 14 fairways hit, 8 GIR and 5 nGIR, 27 putts (including a hole out chip in from just off the green to save par with the 56deg wedge).  Shot a new personal best of 76 (39 front / 37 back) from the gold tees (just over 5,500 yds).   Was a good day and my son had a decent day for him as well with an 88.
