Paulsons tell me "throw away your camera!"

As I said at the top, I've made some progress, but only on the small swings. (It's not possible to make full swings in my basement where I'm hitting foam practice balls off a mat.) I know what the proper impact is supposed to feel like There was one relatively warm day recently where I made it to the range and that's when I saw the difference between the small and full swings so I'm heading to Florida in a few weeks. I've got a couple of new swing thought ideas given to me from my Golf Tec sessions relating to the transition at the top, weight shift, hip turn and arm speed and I'm hoping for some real improvement and I'll also try to avoid abandoning the new ideas if they don't work right away. (I'll be taking some videos...I don't care what the Paulsons say)

A golf swing takes a lot of time and work to change - stick with an instructor and work on one piece at a time. I became serioius a year ago, and it's still a work in progress, but it looks so different (and so much better) than where I began. I play twice on the weekend at 7 am, and it's still a struggle in terms of scoring. But you find out so much about your game by playing.

It's not going to happen on the course at once or even over 4-5 months, especially if you've been in winter hibernation. Play, don't take a score too seriously, and find your weaknesses on the course. Then go back to your instructor and discuss it.

I heard that phone call.  As I remember it you hit a fade that you can control.  IMO, DP (Dennis Paulson) is correct.  A guy with a strong grip who hits a high fade will take your money.   I'm one of those guys who gets paralysis by analysis and I'm trying to turn that off.

I don't think that was me because I hit the ball mostly straight. If anything, I'll occaisionally roll my wrists and hit a draw and if I over-do it, a hook. I don't recall any part of my conversation where ball flight was discussed.

In any case I'm using my camera over the winter to see if any changes I'm making are having an effect. Once the season begins and I can play for real, the camera will stay home... Maybe.
