6/2/15... While it was slow at Friendly's... I grabbed my spatula and worked on keeping my wrist flat at the top of the back swing (yes my spatula)... Its hard to get much practice in when you work a ten hour shift, so you have to get creative sometimes... Also worked on my posture at set-up using the back of a chair (again while it was slow)

Could only manage 5 minutes mirror work on my set-up and pre-shot routine......due to waking up with a really painful left shoulder blade! Hope a bit of rest will sort it.

Practiced "chipping draws" at the range with my driver, wow do I get some strange looks doing this. Still waiting for someone to give me advice I'm sure it won't take long.

6/3: 5 minutes in front of the mirror trying to get squared up at address and feeling a swing with the body instead of just the arms.

I've been having trouble with pulls again lately (thus my username) so I took a few practice balls in the backyards and aimed at a post in my back yard from about 15 feet away and paid attention to where the ball started. I do pull the ball but I think I also line up wrong a lot. Seems like I line up my club and then take an open stance. I practiced feeling like my stance was too closed and started hitting the post regularly. My only concern is how do I know for sure if I am lining up correctly now or if I am in fact too closed and just pulling the ball?

Really a looooooooooong day at work, but managed to stumble out in the backyard for some putting practice ... actually kind of nice to get out by myself.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By GolfLug ·

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
