Small progress from last year. Tad bit shallower downswing would be nice.

I’d kill for that swing. I have a downswing problem and I hope adjusting my right hand at address will help. (Baseball swing.) I hook it when I connect or hit some god awful fat shots when I don’t. Driver chippind and putting have all come together for me just the mid irons. To the point where the cam seriously considering wood type clubs from 125 yrs and out. lol

I don't love that trail elbow getting around you there, @GolfLug. You know how to work on that.

Hmm. Yes, It seems I have already have it going behind me by A2. Bit of grip work (need more in fingers) required too. 

Thanks.

What kind of ball is that?  It does not look round, also it must not be too firm m(or your wall would not look like it does) but it does not look like foam.

It's just one half of a Callaway practice wiffle ball.

Don't roll it so quickly. Turn your body, ELEVATE the hands (by hinging UP to your right shoulder). The roll throws the club too far around you.

Tiger helping a college golfer with this one. I like how he calls swinging it too far inside "wasted motion." Inspires me to never do that again 😄

36-45 yesterday. Lost swing on the 12th the hole and couldn't troubleshoot until the 17th. Both block slices and pull hooks showed up. It's like blowing a tire cruising at 75 mph on the freeway. 

It seemed right arm/hand started becoming dominant early in the DS. Maybe.

Put my left arm on top of chest, rehearsed a few slow left side rib stretch/steady head backswings and finished ok on 18th. 

Murr Christmas yall.

If you want to for Christmas, sure. Otherwise… no.

Good on the left (could get the elbow off your ribs more if you'd like), more chaotic and tougher to build speed in the right sequence on the right.

This could help me as well. I need to set up my phone and hitting some shots into my practice net. First things first clear the hitting area that full of dog poo

@GolfLug, buy yourself (or use if you haven't already) the Swing Extender. I think you can still find them for $29. Don't pay the $49+ I've seen them going for occasionally.

Happy New Year All!

Loosey-goosey at the top. The extender will be here in a couple of days.

Guessing, not enough torso turn/sync. Not enough hip depth. Too much arms/hands.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
