You should buy him a gift card to the finest Italian restaurant in town. I hear he likes Osso Buco.

I've heard lots of good things about Crooked Cat. Have you played there before? 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

FWIW, I don’t have much fun playing in Orlando summer weather either. Hot a humid drains me because I sweat profusely.

That’s the truth.  I once played 36 holes in 1 day in Orlando in July.  Totally wiped me out.

Yes, I've played both courses at OCN several times.  But we are playing the white tees, of which I've never played, so wanted to get an idea of the difference, as I normally play farther back a tee. Plus we're staying on the property, so that will make it nice.

July is pretty steamy down there. That's why I started this thread back in the day...

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.

      Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.

      Trackman place today. I broke my tripod so could only film by hand the video the venue’s cameras generated. This is an 8 iron. Amazing how odd this feels relative to how it looks. Not similar!
