Also hands set high at address to let them get away as far from me as possible.

I don't know about doing that. 🙂

Gonna really make the hands go "around" a bit too much.

Getting more used to bringing the feel to the course. Feeling not as weird. Still losing my driver once or twice a round but last two rounds of 80 and 82 very acceptable.

Haven't posted a video but have been doing mirror drills to maintain the feel and the visual connected. Wife bought a 6-foot mirror in the bedroom. IMO mirrors are an underappreciated training aid.

In the last four rounds is driving distance is up a bit. Still fall into old tendency of just swaying and then losing the club head on the DS but have gotten better at correcting it mid-round. Turned a couple of 90s into 83s and 84s. So there's that.

Oh gosh.. the internet (like the entire www...) cringed at the thought.

Well been trying it at full speed on the course. The swing thought a bit simpler to keep it effective -'pull back right hip from A1 to A2'.

Will record one later tonight or this week at normal speed and post.

A round in the life of a weekend hack: 

So shot 37-47 = 84 (Par 70) yesterday.

Hit every fairway on the front nine hitting slight pull cut (may be 5 yards curve at the most). It has been working fairly well last two months and am gaining a lot of confidence with it. 

On the back nine, Hit ok drives on 10th and 12th and then it happened.... I had the bright idea of hitting a push-draw on 13th hole that is guarded by a tree on the right side of the fairway against anything but a straight ball or slight draw (left is OB death along the entire length of the fairway). Long story short, I hit the draw except it was a pull draw hitting it OB on the left. So double bogey #1..

On the 14th, I thought I just needed to make a slight correction to the pull and hit 'out' a bit. So I end up hitting a push over-draw - also OB left that tightly runs along the entire length of the fairway. Double bogey #2. 

Pumped another one OB on 15th to a straight pull (attempting to get back to my 'glorious' pull fade) - double bogey #3,  By now, my mouth was completely dry and I was struggling to remember what day it was.. lol.. and and promptly proceeded to hit another OB on 17th wayyyy out right in full correction mode - this one came with a wonderful triple bogey!    

Finally I came about my senses and piped one straight down on 18th and finished with a par.  

All I could tell myself was it was good battle. 😂

Those aren’t the ball flight laws.

I may not have expressed it properly but, this (G) is what I was referring to for attempting to hit a push draw. Hit 'out' in relation to target (red arrow) with face closed to path. I ended up overdoing the closed face and over drew it OB.

    • I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.
    • Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
