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

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

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. ;-)

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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 21, May 25.  Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson.  I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus.  Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room;  I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total.  That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds!  But these were all with a 6-iron.

      Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front.

      Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
