My Swing (GolfLug)

[GolfLug]

Pick-Clean and Lift..😊

Winter tight lies have affected my chipping confidence a bit. Have hit some spazzy flubs last couple of weeks. 

Reminding myself to keep fluidity of chest and knees. Hyper focus on the ball is detrimental. Easier said than done when there is very little or dead grass to work with but it's a fun challenge to work on and gives me a break from full swing work.

Middle C too!

Strictly right elbow position check after about a month of extender work. I think I am at least getting it off my side without thinking.

[GolfLug]

Sorry for the double post but wanted to write down a couple of notes I will probably forget:

1. Keep the entire right arm and side below the shaft plane and soft structured in the backswing to not put elbow in a leveraged position at the top. 

2. Do not over-leverage right elbow and wrist extensions into impact. Roll through impact a little. Unconscious levers are the hardest to abandon.

The video is much better. Could still be shorter - coast earlier so you can stop earlier - but the orientation of the elbows, etc. is much better. Better tilts too.

@GolfLug make your practice more effective with this one simple trick!

Put a piano behind the car through the gap and @GolfLug's got it no problem!

I'm a born entertainer. Just sayin.

I thought I understood what you meant by 'coast earlier'. You meant no lifting from P1 to P2, right?

No. I mean swing fast early, then coast to the top earlier. You still have a lot of speed going back late in your backswing, so everything collapses.

[GolfLug]

Faster start.

Hmm.. clean pick but DS still tentative. Few reminders:

1) There are no upward forces in short game 

2) No shoving, only turning 

3) There's a tiny 'pop' in chips and chitches.

Why is the handle nestled between your nuts?

[GolfLug]

Somewhere along the line I got the idea that I need to get my torso, forearms and hand over the club shaft to keep the leading edge down through impact. Overdoing it a bit.

You just want the heel up a little bit to reduce turf interaction.

Oh yea! I think I learned that a few times before.

Pitching mechanics have completely soiled the sheets.

In addition to having developed this cramped, nut-bruising move to manage these winter barren hard pan lies, I have zero coherent swing thoughts at the moment.

Not sure if it's too early to panic for the season, but I am.

Why isn't golf like skiing? Couple of runs down the slopes to kick off the season and it's like you never left. 

On the other hand Golf is so freaking regressive. I am exhausted from trying not to lose my work done while still in the season. If it weren't so tragic it would be funny.

Anyway, mini-rant over. Back to chopping wood and carrying water.

I'm nothing if not persistent.

Love the buddhist monk reference!
