11/9 - some mirror work. I played 18 yesterday and struggled with contact at first, but got better and the round progressed.

Did 15 minutes of alternate Sklz swing trainer and Driver. As I get tired, hard to keep timing and inside-out path on track. I go back to arm swinging and rush through and over the top. After practicing, found a video to help me focus on inside out using handle of club. Gonna give it a shot tomorrow.

Hey woodzie, what's low point control? In addition to everything else, do I need it too? Lol

Firstly, Low point control is controlling the low point of the swing so that it is in front of the ball's position (while at address) so that you will have a descending blow on the back of the ball.  By improving your low point control, you will reduce fat and thin shots. Low Point Control is part of the 5SK (5 Simple Keys) that you will find peppered throughout TST  and Erik's book  Low Score Wins by Erik and Dave (Lowscorewins.com). There is a thread for this book in the Reading Room forum. I highly recommend it. It has been a huge help to me.

I registered lowscorewins.com now too. Thanks!

P.S. It'll redirect. The -est version is the "proper" one.

11/11- kettle bell swings for balance weight shift.

grip - in the fingers, less in the palms 

stance - narrowed my stance a bit. I realized in my most recent couple of rounds, because I had been hitting irons so well, I subconsciously started to widen my stance for increased distance, but it was compromising my ball striking. I just realized that. That was also driving my increased tempo, trying to swing harder. The slightly narrow stance forced a slower, more controlled tempo/transition. Excited to go hit again!

20 minutes of SKlz then Driver swing. Tried this

 "Pointing the handle" approach to preventing over the top didn't work for me. Instead, worked on three ideas--get to the top of back swing, move hips, and then whip the hands through. At its best, the unlocking of wrists at the end gives an extra whoosh. Can't do that consistently and I also worried about direction of the shot--face is all over the place. 

Back to youtube golf school after the swings to find a Golf Swing Release video

Let's see if this works.

Good news: El Alemán isn't playing this weekend so I get to take the new swing to the course before matching up with him
