Thank you very much for the video.  I think I can picture the shot and how to hit it a lot more.  Now I need to get to a range to practice it.

(I think I might try your alignment process too, since I'm not really sure about my procedure)

fwiw, I recently had to hit under some low hanging branches which I did notice until I got there. I only had a sand wedge with me but managed to hit it low by moving the ball back even a little beyond the trail foot. Ordinarily I would have used a low lofted iron or hybrid. In any event, it worked,as I was able to clear the branches and adequate roll out.

I now hit low punch-outs when I need them with a 6I.

This worked well last weekend when I needed it, at least until I clipped another tree. Lateral miss, but I didn't have much room to work with. Thanks for the tip.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 550, May 5, 2024 Got a good hour in with a typical (for me) two-stick setup: pool noodle angled in front, yardstick on the ground angled 45° behind me.

      Day 130: Cinco de Mayo Day 7/24 of Full Speed Spectrum training. Difficult training day after struggling to certify my warmup yesterday, and today. Finished 13 mph lower than my training speed on Thursday. Hope to hit some balls today.

      Yeah, I think I misread that part. I read "in front of" and kinda skipped the rest.

      Small league format idea

      By Hackers by the Bay ·

      We just completed our winter league (Jan 1 - April 30)  Our scoring was simple.  We used the 18 birdies app.  You get 1 point for every member of the league you beat head to head in an 18 hole round (no handicap).  You also get a point for completing the round.  Therefore 4 members play a round- winner of the round gets 4 points, runner-up gets 3, third gets 2, and last gets 1.  Points accumulate throughout the season.  You can play as many times as you want. Our winner accumulated 110 points while second was 102 and third was 97.  We had a total of 16 members in the league.  No issues whatsoever.  All about fun.
