Played in an 18 hole scramble today at the club. My team finished 3rd. I hit the ball pretty well other than a couple spinny iron shots. My misses with my irons have been a balloning type flight that goes nowhere. I know its because Im flipping at impact. 

Did some mirror work when I got home this afternoon concentrating on my position at the top and my transition. P4 to P5 is what Im really focusing on right now.

Played in 42F dark morning conditions, 21 over on the front 9 and 1 over on the back. No jacket only a thin polo shirt , level 1 hypothermia started to set into level 2. Couldn't feel my fingers the front 9. Sun came out and shot okay. Played another 9 holes in the afternoon and hit nice and long high drives into the right side fairway. Dead pulls even had the nerve to go OVER the trees.

My practice was that I had to spend a lot of time figuring out how to get back onto my own fairways. :-P

Hip turn drills to get rid of my "new" OTT. Range work to push. Need to converge my range game to the course.

5 minutes mirror work at the gym before my workout. Focused on centered hip turn and flattening shaft at A5.

Hit a bucket of balls after work.  The stronger grip feels normal now, so I focused on getting my hips forward during the backswing (as per the wall drill Erik posted).  It felt weird, and I'm not sure if I am overdoing it, under-doing it, or otherwise.  I hit a number of fat shots, and then started to produce some decent 6 iron shots.  I had a little daylight left after my bucket, so I played three holes real quick.

Range work on my driver. Getting sloppy again. Need to focus on flat lead wrist and hip turn first drills. Hit one 7i shot that I could be happy with, but it was my last shot of the day. The rest of the session was so bad there's no way I'll con myself into thinking I hit great. :-P

Did a whole bunch of wrist flat drills from the first few lessons I had with Mike and Dana. Working to get more lag with a driver lengths club (PVC pipe club for indoor work).

Worked much better at the range. Hit a ton of half swing shots.

Hit a bucket after work.  Continued working on secondary axis tilt.  I felt like I was hitting the ball well this evening.

I've noticed that I tend to finish my swing pretty low, which I am not a fan of.  It seems that keeping my hips forward on the backswing, and moving further forward on the downsing allows me to finish with my hands much higher.  I was getting much more height out of my 6 iron and driver tonight, which appeared to be beneficial to distance.

Well I missed a few days but I will still post, I practiced the takeaway, focusing on not getting the clubface so closed at shaft parallel to the ground outside with a club for 40 minutes.

Did more flat wrist drills, and the swing feels a lot more powerful again. Played a round last night with better results than last week, but my drives were still in the heel. I was planning on a practice round, but then decided to count it anyway.

I need to work on the hip turn sequencing better. Also, keep my spin angle. My back swing is shorter and slower, but I still pull the ball with the woods and hybrid.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 4zim ·

      Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃

      Best Shot of the Week

      By StuM ·

      Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.

      Clubface Control Drills?

      By saevel25 ·

      Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
