I knew it was named after Peter Alliss, but I didn't know the whole story.  He is one of the great sports announcers.  The PC crowd got him removed from US broadcasts for a comment he made about "Don't women's breasts get in the way of their golf swing".  I remember when he said it that I thought he just verbalized what most men probably think, or at least I do.  But I'm a pervert.

I started this thread because I had an "alice" moment.......twice, in a row. 

I am a very aggressive putter. By that I mean I hit my putts with plenty of gusto . When I miss I usually have 2'-3' putt left over. I putt this way because I am a poor break reader on shorter putts.

I had a really good chance of breaking 80, looking at an easy 4 footer that would have given me a 78. This would have been my 4th round in the 70s in my last 6 rounds. A personal good thing for me. 

I left my 78 putt short. No problem as 79 is good. I then proceeded to that putt short.  Both were right on line, but short. I left with an 80 after a tap in. :cry:

I think it was for his comments about lesbianism, but the "breasts" stuff didn't help.

    • 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.
    • Trackman place today. I broke my tripod so could only film by hand the video the venue’s cameras generated. This is an 8 iron. Amazing how odd this feels relative to how it looks. Not similar!
