Still doing my 5 mins at lunchtime. Have to be slow and specific otherwise I'd take the fluro tubes out. :-P As usual, I'm working on the arm and pivot sequencing, exploring a couple of different "feels" that get the picture more as it should be.

I'm in.  I've already been doing this. On days when I can't hit ball, I swing at a rubber tee. Below is a drill I did yesterday at the range.  I am working on flatten the shaft from A4 to 5.  It has b

Getting my 5 minutes in after I sign off on my tax return and drop some copies of LSW off at the post office.

@Gunther did not seem to get his order in. Just re-checked and he did between when I printed an hour ago and now.

That's a short tournament...

:-P

I should have videotaped some of it ... there were a couple of moments at the end where the "uber fist pumping sore loser dickhead" (I'm paraphrasing) Tiger Woods gave sincere congratulations to a man that was in the process of beating him.  Hal Sutton stuck his approach on 18 (I'm sure you've seen the replay - "Be the right club! ... Be the right club TODAY!") and then it showed Tiger walking up the fairway looking his direction trying to get his attention so he could say good shot and give him a thumbs up.

Then after Tiger missed his chip and Sutton 2 putted for the win, Tiger was the first to congratulate him, with a big smile, laugh, handshake and more than just a couple of words.

So out of character ... or at least the narrative that the haters are trying to spin.

Did 10 mins of golf swing with short weighted club in front of a mirror at the gym.  Checked my swing at the top each time, making sure my shoulder turned properly, etc.   Was mindful of flipping through the impact.

Ok got in some time tonight. Still working on Turing around my spine so my left shoulder angle is pointed more towards the ball vs being parallel to the ground. Still not great, but it's improving.

Been putting in my time all week. I took some (horrifying) video last week and have been working on fixing some pretty severe head movement (and subsequent corrections). After some careful practice I have quieted the head down and am feeling much better about things. First round of the year is Saturday.

Did 5 minutes after I got home from the gym last night working with my driver since at the moment, playing wise, it's the most pressing thing.

Then I did 5 minutes this morning before leaving for work because I'm traveling down to the City tonight.

One of those may have been mine!  I got an email on 4/15, from Ebay, saying my order had shipped.  I'm looking forward to learning!

I just noticed my gym has a room with mirrors on 3 sides!   I spent some time today checking my swing form from front and side.
