My Swing (GolfLug)

[GolfLug]

Played Mattaponi Springs yesterday north of Richmond, one of the toughest and hilliest layout I've played anywhere. This is pic looking back at the fairway from next to the green of the 9th hole. The pic doesn't do justice but that's a good 50-60 feet drop. Lot of forced carries to the greens which were heavily tired and slow as molasses. Lot of fairway runoffs. Visually beautiful course though. Played mostly defense and shot a meh 82 loosing five shots in the first six holes.

Swing check. 7 iron and driver with focus on some basics, steady head, maintain incline, unlocked elbow/wrist joints.proper hip rotation.

Weight is too far back in your feet, moves forward during the backswing.

When your pelvis moves this much, so does everything else, because your pelvis is in the middle of your body.

In flip flops too, extra impressive!

Give us some more details, how far was it, what'd the hole look like, what club, etc.

It was the one with the windmill. About six yards, but playing into a 10 MPH breeze (mostly from the windmill).

Others didn't fare as well.

The sea was angry that day my friends!! 😋

Short hole (5th at The Orchards GC, Washington, MI), no real trouble. Was on my second round of the day and wasn't playing all that well but this livened up the afternoon. 109 yard, 3/4 'flighted' PW. Clean hit, never left the pin, landed a foot from the hole, seemed like it hopped a yard past, stopped, pulled back on a string and disappeared. Pandemonium.

Sorry bro, it was sexier than one of them one/two hop drop variety (I think they are the lucky variety.. heh heh). I've been hitting wedges very close for a while now. I was due one. No clown windmill shit. Legit. 💪

DOD practice. Rhythm, balance etc.

Hybrid..

Hybrid face on.. 

Things chugging along. Lose my swing every now and then but kinda on a cruise control.

Where's the weight in the feet in that driver DL swing, @GolfLug?

Hmm, honestly wasn't paying attention. Have been trying to round out the back and cover the ball more with my chest to get it more towards the ball since you mentioned it previously. Guess, feel ain't real.

Will be more mindful.

Front of the arches, please. 😄

All focus on feet pressure at least through A2. Sorry about the cam angle. Tripod resting out in the yard somewhere.

The accompanying gurgling sound added for effect. Heh heh.

Check post.
