If I could only control my backswing length by the hour hand on a clock while doing all those other things.

Someone needs to read the posture thread :) 

Do PGA Tour players create notes on feels? I think Ben Hogan had journals on his golf swing so he could go back and look at them. I might be wrong, but I thought I read somewhere that Hogan did this. Maybe it was another golfer.

Wow, that's a mess, dude is lucky to lose that crap.

11am?

I have a friend who keeps all his swing notes written on the brim of his cap, seems silly to me.

So what's his swing thought?  Does he have a priority piece?  Hmmm... 

I found someones notes on the course the other day also.  They wrote it on the roof of the golf cart...   It read "That's the problem, you looked up"...

My only swing thought is breath ---  Deep control breath - hold and exhale at address -   then grip it and rip it.  The less I think about my swing the better I play.  The more I think about what I should be doing the worse I play!

If that works for you, great, but most golfers should play with one swing thought or feel. A specific feel associated with their priority piece. They don't necessarily have to "think" about it when they're swinging but they should rehearse the move during their practice swing. Get a refresher on the "feel", then hit the shot.

To each his own I guess.  For good golfers - your body knows how to hit the shot. Commit to the shot you want to hit and hit it... don't let your brain get in the way.

Even for poor golfers, the body knows how to hit the shot -- it's just not the shot they imagined. :-O

And Yes, don't let the brain interfere...

    • I was on Golf Digest's Golf IQ podcast with Sam Weinman talking about being a "golf dad." https://www.golfdigest.com/story/5-golf-dads-advice I followed: Ian Poulter Mike Thomas Johnson Wagner Kevin Van Valkenburg Apparently the series was only five parts long, as they wrote up a summary article on it.   Golf Dad Part 5: Erik Barzeski on how to switch between father and instructor Podcast Episode · Golf IQ · March 2 · 35m Golf Dad Part 5: Erik Barzeski on how to switch between father and instructor — Golf IQ Erik Barzeski, Director of Instruction at Golf Evolution, is the father of a golf pro and an author, but also has the perspective of someone who works with juniors.

    • They sure do. 158 with an 8 iron is on the high end for me
    • Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.  
    • Distances look fine, no?
    • Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.
