I played well today. I read something somewhere on the net that talked about a common cause of shanking the ball is a majority of body weight on your toes. Today I slowed everything down and tried to be a little more solid and square on my feet. At first I felt as if I might fall back but my miss today was a pull. I can take that after shanking shot after shot a few rounds ago. Confidence is slowly coming back. I'll get some of those vids up.

I know exactly how you feel! It has happens to everyone at some time. I am a 12 hcp and have played for 25years on and off. For the past three months I've had the shanks with my wedges and the stress is unbearable. For example i shot an 80 on Friday...95 on Saturday...97 on Sunday. The difference was shanking my lower irons. I am considering another lesson with a pro to figure out why now after years of playing golf?

    • 39, +4. A bit better hip slide stuff. More lateral, less turn with the hips. 
    • Day 11: Worked on putting with the metronome
    • I added to total today by hopping it in on the first hole for an eagle. A short par 4, I hit 4 wood to 110. With a little breeze in my face I hit a 50 degree gap wedge to 2 feet and watched it hop into the hole for an eagle 2! 
    • Sounds good. Text me if you have any questions. You have a good setup, too, and so long as you can get good camera angles… you should be good. https://skillest.com/@iacas
    • Day 14 (September 18).  Morning practice, despite questionable weather (it's raining).   Worked on chipping at first, including run-ups with UW and PW;  I've noticed lately some of my near-GIRs are missing forward, with nothing but grass ahead of me, but 20-30 yards to the pin.  After a few misadventures putting those lately, I wanted to at least get a feeling for what a 30-yard chip shot that doesn't have the variance of my quarter lob wedge would feel like.  I still think "putt when you can putt" is right, but... I am less sure I have a 30 yard putt in me.  Range time also, of course, same routine as the past week or so (drill, 3-4 slow shots, etc).   Did not get to the putting green as it was starting to come down a bit more. Darn, it really is raining.  And I thought today would be a perfect day to play, seeing as how it's 9-18 and all.
