My hips have a tendency to sway back (away from the target) on the backswing...

After not practicing yesterday, I took a break to do a little more than five minutes of mirror work today.

Ball for reference, not for hitting.  Indoors.  Used a mirror to check position at the top -- aiming to get it above my right shoulder to correct being too far inside in recent swings.  Will get video of the end result for the MySwing! thread later this week probably.

I'm traveling for U.S. Open / Father's Day weekend, so I'll find other things to do to practice while I'm out.  Fortunately there's a great range nearby where I'll be...

June 15 - Mirror work at the gym. Spent 5 mapping the positions then 10 with slow swings getting the feel down and checking myself out in the mirror.

I am playing 9 today but will ride. I do most likely have a partial tear of my medial meniscus on my left knee (again) and got a cortisone shot yesterday. Doc said I could play if I felt up to it. 

I also go fit for a snazzy brace, so I will look like a wicked cool old guy now!:-P

6/15:  hit a bucket at the range today, working on full iron shots and distance wedges.  It was one of the worst sessions of my life.  I was using some new-to-me irons, but that wasn't the reason I hit the ball so bad.

The distance wedge swings felt completely different from the shots in the yard with the foam balls.  I don't understand that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
