[isukgolf]

Worked in keeping hips forward ... and played 9!

[rkim291968]

Full range practice session today with emphasis on keeping my right elbow tucked into my rib during downswing.   Chipped 70 balls with PW.

[mvmac]

Hit balls and recorded some swings to make sure I was changing the picture.

[rkim291968]

Practiced lag putt from home.  Putting one putt 25 feet, another 24, 3rd one 23, etc..  Did 70 balls of that.

[krupa]

5-10 minutes working on weight forward without a club

[Elmer]

This morning, 6 am in the garage worked on rhythm.

Slowed down take away using a broom stick to keep things parallel.

Slow take away, stiff left arm. Explode through the ball.

playing 9 later today. See how if it helped

[RFKFREAK]

Full swing practice again this morning focusing on bowing my front wrist at A4. Feeling good about my downswing and keeping my head back and hips forward on follow through. Did a really slow swing to finish without stopping at A4 and A6 as per the drill to see how it feels putting it all together. It felt good.

May 20 -

It's been raining all day, so I practiced short putts for 10 minutes on the astroturf strip in my study. Focus was on getting feel of proper arm hang with new Winn ProX 1.18" oversized grip on my putter.

[Slowcelica]

Practiced my transition move in front of a mirror inside without a club. Also practiced hitting my driver at the range with a club, duh!

[Huddo]

After some awful video feedback of my head lifting......again, I practiced a shorter backswing where it feels like a half swing.

[Lihu]

Unwrap the arms with my hips. That's the feel that seems to do it for me. I'm starting to draw too much even though the distances are longer. Maybe I need to choke back on this a bit?

Did some slow swing drills for 5 minutes before my round today. . .shot my lowest differential, possibly the lowest I'll ever score too! I'll remember this day!

May 19-

Played best ball tourny

Spent extra time on the putting green making sure my eyes are over the ball...  also spent time on the practice green working on my pitching...

Did work in the morning also pitching into a box in the back yard working on my landing zone.

May 20- (20 in a row)

Pitching into a box again in the back yard.

[Jakester23]

Went to the range today with a buddy. Spent about 20 mins on short game,15 on bunker shots, then probably an hour on full swing. I felt a little like Erik towards the end. It took my probably 15 mins to hit my last 5 balls with my driver.

[saevel25]

Played 9 holes today, not so good. I had some very good shots intermixed with some bad ones. SV 3 short game just evades me at spurts. Its kinda strange. I can hit some great pitch shots, then the next hole I am blading one across the green.

I don't know if I am not doing something the same each time, or I am not concentrating enough each time. Its a pitch shot, my technique is good. I was hitting a lot of good shots yesterday at the short game area at a local course. Not one pitch shot was bladed. Just confuses me on this. I can understand my long game when, I don't do my piece right. I know I need to make a good backswing and then turn more with the hips.

[SavvySwede]

Lag drill hitting balls into the net. Some light bulbs seem to be lighting up.

[isukgolf]

Slow, Stead, practice of center hip turns against a chair ... going to get this move yet!

[Shindig]

Small bucket, game speed swings after the first few. So many good shots today. I hope I didn't use up my quota for the week!

[tnull]

2 buckets at the driving range.  Hit a few shanks, but know that it is due to shifting forward.  When I concentrate on staying centered on my feet, no shanks.  Hit some nice draws and fades on command with 7i and 9i.  Getting more distance with those as well.  Due to a smoother release and increased club head speed.  Overall, pleased with the progress.
