Thanks, I'm definitely focused on my priorities, now that I am beginning to understand them better.

I think that's exactly what the fitter said, actually, fitters from two different places. They both said that I tend to not "Let go" or that I "Hold back my release"? Is this what they mean?

No seems they were talking more about your wrists. I'm talking more about this, if anything your head can move ever so slightly towards the green line. Early extension would be the head moving away from the line.

Thanks, I will update some videos later this week.

Quick question, @Lihu . I know you hit the range a lot, but how often do you film your practice?

only when there's improvement or if I need to see what im doing.not enough. I just finished a really good session. Wrist was flat, club was flat. Witnesses told me.

I only mentioned it because I noticed @mvmac mentioned in a previous post that you were falling into old habits, and I tend to do that myself if I practice without video. I've gotten into the habit of filming something every time I practice so I can monitor my progress as I go. If I try a new feel, I can get instant feedback, so if it doesn't work, I won't waste an entire session in training it.

+1 on this.  I film my drills and look at them at the range in between to make sure I am doing them correctly.  I do this at the start of the session.  Once I know I am doing it right, I stop filming unless I am going to send something in.

Editing my videos. Man, I suck. How the heck am I shooting to a 15? Video tonight.

Here is my vLog. I think I actually swing worse when filming myself, because I fell back on myself more than a few times in this round when filming myself. In any case I am a bogey golfer, so I suppose that's okay, but I prefer playing when I can't see myself. I play a teeny bit better too.

Next vlog, I will focus on my form more.

My promise is your entertainment.

I don;t know what happened to the resolution. It should have been in 1080p. Maybe it was too large a file.

What was that awful bird squawking on the fourth hole?!


Wow, thanks for watching that much of my video. It was probably an indigenous parrot**.

I got a comment from another member that I need to work on my editing skills a little. Next one will be half the length, I promise. The other thing is to work on relaxing before each shot so that I can at least be as good as I am when not filming.

** We have wild parrots because a pet store burned down in the 50s and all the parrots were released so as not to be roasted alive. As a consequence we have thousands of parrots. They even fly in flocks together. Never new they did that. They also live a very long time.

That would drive me crazy. Loud sucker.

It does seem like you spend a lot of time before a shot. I personally like a quick pause an fire before demons can creep into my thoughts. I'm not sure what works for you though.

I think I need a faster pre-shot routine, you're right the demons are entering my mind.

Very nice. Interesting looking course, too. Some views are almost resort-like. Others, well let's just say if high tension wires are your thing...

I'm surprised you shot 44, though. I wasn't keeping a running tally in my head, but it seemed like you had a decent number of pars.

I got a comment from another member that I need to work on my editing skills a little.

Yea, you can definitely do more trimming of the inconsequential stuff. Still enjoyed it, though.

The 3rd hole par 3 was a triple. I missed (2) 6" putts, it's in the video. :8) But. . ., people were hitting into me. They were short of the green, but still teeing off already.

I also managed to bogey the last two holes for similarly stupid reasons. The main thing is that by the time I get up the hill, I tend to rush through all my chips and putts.

BTW, it seems like the 1080p is working again. you should be able to see my ball land on the approaches and stuff.

If you come out to the CA, there are lots of affordable courses like this one.

I think I would have good footage of me going off on some people.

I would have complained, but their attempts were pretty futile. I didn't want to make their day even worse.

@Lihu watch those shoulder alignments at address. Shoulders are aimed too far right, left arm is above the right.

Thanks, this is the first thing that stuck out like a sore thumb to me too. My shoulders are too open and my hips too closed. That and the fact that I am almost falling backwards on every shot.

This is just one set of things that explains why I can't take my driving range distances on the course.

Thanks for only making one comment, in that post. :beer:

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
