So I'm sure your all working off the spring rust, especially if your like me and your in the midwest. When I was at my peak in my short golf career I was shaping my shot from a gentle cut off the tee to a suddle draw on both my driver and irons. For the first few rounds I'm playing my current shot shape just so I can navigate the course through a round. Being that our driving range doesn't open for another month, what can I do on the course to get that suddle draw back off the tee and for my irons? What swing thoughts should I be thinking to promote that draw insted of a weak cut. I find I have more distance eith a draw than a cut so I would like to go back to staring down those shots insted of watching my ugly cut/slice.

A swing video would make it easier, as there can be different parts you want to focus on. The idea is to have the clubface closed to the path through impact. The ideal is to hit a push-draw, where the ball starts right of your alignment line and comes back down onto it. You can hit a straight-draw or even pull-draw, but you will have a lower ball flight and it will be harder to control. There are some key elements you want to look for: Getting your weight forward, hands on an back-up-in path to avoid coming over the top, and a steady head. A forward leaning shaft with a flat left wrist also makes it easier to achieve. There are a lot of pitfalls by trying random Internet advice, so I would highly recommend you get some videos. You can find some guidelines in the [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/filming_your_swing]Filming Your Golf Swing article[/URL]. The better your setup is, the more efficiently you can be assisted.

    • Day 50 - 2024-11-19 Hit about 20 balls focusing mostly on the backswing. That's going to be my November and December.
    • They need to do something to speed  up play. They could randomly  time  players. One  idea would  be  if a group gets  out  of  position they are disqualified. If its a group of  3 and  its  1 player playing like  molasses i can imagine an exciting interaction, lol
    • I agree with @dennyjones, a suspension of some meaningful duration would be better than getting bounced from the Tour. They might consider experimenting each week. It might generate a bit of interest. I like the idea of a visible shot clock. If a player and their caddy can’t decide on a strategy and pull the trigger in XX seconds (30? 45? 60?), one stroke penalty. Give each player 2 resets a round. The clock starts when the last player to hit’s ball stops moving. Other pace ideas could be used every couple events until a consensus is reached to adopt or ditch an idea.
