My Swing (GolfLug)

[iacas]

You can re-myelinate while swinging slowly or "mapping."

Just gotta make yourself do it. July is a good deadline. Let's get it done!

Got in 6 rounds in 5 days at MB Barefoot. Really enjoyed the complex. Grades: 

Driver: D- (Except for day 1 at huge fairways of Farmstead- only non Barefoot course we played) it was terrible. Had a 100 swing thoughts and couldn't stick with one.

Irons: A . Struck them well and got better with best on the last day. Had only two bad misses all day. Came through with some clutch shots. On the last day at the Dye course (tightest of the all the Barefoot courses) I chucked the driver all together and drove all the short holes with my 4-iron and did well.

Pithing B- Not terrible.. but had trouble with clean hits on rain soaked sloppy surfaces. Workable though. 

Chipping B- Nothing to write home about but also not terrible.. had a couple of complete duffs but got on the green for two putts most times.

Putting C- Welp, my love affair with poor greens pace continued. They received a massive amount of rain on Sunday and I could never get myself to hit the ball hard enough. 

All in all game is in a better place than a month ago. Shot in the 80s all 5 days which I haven't done in a well over year.

😊.. Need to find solid feel that I can sustain. Drove great day 1 and then it disappeared. 

But yeah, back to working on it.

Look at Rory's arms here:

Thanks.. that's a great image to keep in mind.

Trying to not let right arm/wrist get bendy-hingy. Feels like a half swing and flat like a m..

Thank @iacas. Yes I will get the tilt back into it. Have been setting only driver square (irons still hooded, albeit less) so the palmy grip (yes, true) is a mental crutch till I get a bit more confidence. Keeping the left arm super soft and lightly resting on the grip to not stress the forearm injury (works fine I think).

Bit more tilt. Suitcase hold for more hand depth. Soft arms, elbows, chest, lats, full turn and go.

So you're just giving up entirely on the width stuff? 😉

I messaged you a picture.

Stop worrying about depth. Get the right elbow off your ribs and (not rigid) but "straight" feeling.

Ok, thanks.

Need to find a consistent feel to sustain this picture. As of now it is 'keep right arm straight' as long as possible. 

[GolfLug]

Trying to ensure club is 'radiating' away from core, wrists not loading, and straight right arm feel. Everything still soft.

I know the trail hand grip is a bit palmy but not worrying about it much. I think allows me to chicken wing at impact to keep by lead forearm from being stressed. Again, hopefully not a big deal.

[iacas]

That's good. Time to start doing it and checking it at game speed.
