Finding myself chunking irons. Weight transfer be the likely target? It’s not ball position as my divots are starting well behind the ball and I’ve even taken effort to play the ball back more to see if that would be the case. When I do that I chunk it worse. I feel like I may not be getting onto my front side. Any thoughts?

When I am doing it, I find that I have too long of a back swing and it pulls my head back causing me to hit it fat.

Good thought. I’ve been focusing on making a good turn with my driver. Haven’t had any problems with my wedges on approach shots 60-100 cause I’m not taking a full swing.

      Day 32 (9 Apr 26) - Grandson is on spring break- puts in to play 9 at our home course.  Used it to work on top of horizon target point for drives and approaches…i.e. pick landing zone (fairway, green) , an intermediate target point and finally what standout feature do I want to hit “over” on the horizon (tall pine, home top, flag pole).    Better l-r dispersion w/5 of 7 drives in the short grass.  Nice little addition to the pre-shot routine.

      I managed to get the full afternoon to watch (Pacific time, so the ESPN broadcast began at noon).  I just saw the first shot I feel like commenting on:  Adam Scott's tee shot on #16 was really good, especially after having what might be the worst kind of Maltese Falcon on #15.    I didn't used to like him, but the past few years he's grown on me quite a bit.

      I am terrible at the hip stuff so have no idea how to get it right but you look like you are trying to stall hip slide altogether.

      Thoughts on MLB's New ABS System

      I think you are right about the margin of error. I was watching the Yankees Vs Athletics the other night. They overturned multiple calls cause it was just outside the box, but then kept a few strikes that just touched the line of the box. the difference in the 2 pitches was maybe a 1/16 of an inch.
