Hit some balls into the net. Getting the club working up the plane more, need a lot more work on getting it to shallow out consistently into the downswing.

Oh boy. Today felt like a victory and a defeat at the same time. Sometimes on the same shot. If you looked at my "my swing" thread for the latest video, you might have noticed that I messed up some things that I had previously done well. That's frustrating, but my evolvr instructor pointed these out to me and reminded me how to get them right. Some of that was the focus of my mirror work the past two days. Today I got to the range... not just any range, my favorite range (COD in Palm Desert). When I got there, no one else was on the range. I practiced some half shots to make sure I wasn't overswinging early, and got those down. Then, one of the goals from my lesson was to be able to tee up a ball a little bit and hit it with a SLOW full swing with a 7-iron and only send it 75 yards. I don't think I got it under 100. I hit several as slow as I could seemingly do so. Some of them were ... ahem, snap fades. I don't know what's up with that. But the vast, vast majority were beautiful. I felt like I was swinging slowly, I thought it would be 100 yards at most, but no, way too many high draws out to the 150 marker. On one hand, that should be a victory: hitting great shots again. On the other hand, it's not what I think I was supposed to achieve. Unless the "hit it 75 yards only" was supposed to be a swing thought and not an actual result. :hmm: I'll ponder it before heading out tomorrow to try again.

LAPD and some actors took over the course and range today. Hope they have/had a good round, they deserve a nice day out.

Ate breakfast and went to work for a couple hours.

Did 5 minutes mirror work at home. Went to another range in south Arcadia. 20 drill swing.

Did a bunch more interspersed with normal shots and am hoping that I am getting more in sequence. I took a whole bunch of video, and saw some improvements. The main issue is as Mike concluded that I am out of sequence. If my hips turn first taking the shoulders and arms with them I hit some pretty nice shots and am not noticeably OTT.

Hit the range for a good hour+ of practice on a nice cool morning (seriously, I think the temperature stayed double digits). Hit some beautiful shots, too, and got some video showing that I'm over-swinging a bit. I think I've got the lag piece better, but I'm going too far back. I'll do some more practice tonight I'm sure, and plenty more tomorrow and this week.

Went to the range and worked on my drills. I also worked on a feel to flatten the shaft at A5. The feel is more having the butt of the club point outside the ball at A5 and right of the target at A6. Couple that with the elbow work, and I think I have a repeatable swing feel. I will film it in a day or two.

Today's focus was back on the full swing. I would have liked for the bowing of the wrist and laying of the shaft to feel more natural doing it slowly and deliberately but that is not the case so more of that until it does.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
