Haven't been on ina while. My wife and I are in the middle of purchasing a house and it hasn't gone as smooth as we hoped. Since my last post I've changed from a Ping i25 to a TaylorMade M1 driver. Iv

Its always funny to me how such a little thing can get you on the right path. Pun intended.

So how do I create a draw from this swing? I was hitting a little push fade.

Don't worry about it for now. Do this stuff all winter.

Ha ha yeah. I'm going to just work on my path for a while. It feels weird and at the range I'm having a little trouble aiming not hitting a pull

Check out the last video I did on my page where I had the alignment stick down pointed left to make sure my toe line was following that.  Pick a target on the range and force your toe line to be open to that with an alignment stick or something.

Yeah. I'm used to aiming left but I think I'd basically pull the ball a little left of that and the ball would fade back and end up a little right of my intended target.

So I went to the range today and I was hitting my irons pretty well. One thing I noticed I kept hitting big push fades with my driver.  I was wondering if I close the club face at address if that will help with my push?  Im happy with the push and the fade but Id like it to be a smaller shape. Right now it would be a tough one on a tight course ha ha.

The camera angle is not good, but you are not open to your target at all, you look closed to it.  I would start with that.

Jake, I didn't take a look at previous swings, but it look like there is a sway that appears to have crept in.. Just draw a line at your hips and take a look.. Also, I don't remember a flip in your swing, but there is a breakdown in the angle if you take a look at impact you will notice that it isn't lined up with your left shoulder. The path is looking really good and I think the other stuff will be a quick fix, it might just have crept in because of your concentration on the other piece! Nice job though overall, I'm liking the change!

Played 9 today at an easy par 35. I shot a 36 I lipped out a birdie putt on 9 that would have been for a even par 35. I hit 7 gir and had 18 putts. I didn't make any long putts but my lags were really good. I only had to work for my birdie on the one par 5 (made a 4 footer). It a 2800 yd course very playable but this was the first time I felt like I played it how I should. Here's a pic of the hardest hole it's a 135 yd par 3. I had to get a picture of my ball on the green. I've played the course hundreds of times and I've probably hit the green 15 times.

So you're familiar with that hole ha. I've had a few 10's on that hole when I was younger. It's tough because long is ob essentially. Left I'd really steep (basically a flop shot) and right slopes so far away from the hole it's a weird shot. I've went back and forth over it a few times. The bunker short right is also tough cause it has a pretty high lip and if you blade it your long (ob).

Good playing @Jakester23 :beer:

Thanks coach. You and Erik helped me a lot. The best part was I hit my last 6 full swing shots perfect. I walked for the first time in a while which I enjoyed. I think it helped me take my time on my shots . When I play by myself and take a cart I have a tendency to rush.

Great playing yesterday Jakester.  Three birdies on a very tough course is impressive.  The chip in with a hybrid was cool.   The birdie putt on 10(I think it was) was about as tough of an 8-10 foot putt as you can get and you dropped it.  I was very impressed with how your swing has come along and the way you chip and putt as well.  Keep up the great work and have fun with evolvr.

Thanks again for the invite I really appreciate it. That was a fun day and I'm really out of shape. Walking 18 wrecked me for today ha ha. We should try to get together at the range over fall and winter.

      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.
