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?

      Day 14:  I hit a bucket with my 7i and driver, didn’t hit my 7 well but my driver was good.  Played my first “real” 9 holes.  Sure, I had a few mulligans but I kept score.  Lost two balls in the water.  Had to chip from the edge of the water and did pretty good, just rolled too far past the hole.  Par was 33 and I wasn’t double but  I was closer to it than I would have liked.  I had a bogey on 9 so that ended it on a sweet note for me.

      Day 134 - Had a tournament today, played poorly. Same as yesterday where the driving was great, but the second shots were awful. Need to dial that in tomorrow so I don’t finish DFL.

      Day 313: range session. Worked on my feel for getting my hips more open/rotated at impact. Then did a stack session.
