  1. Is this what Harvey Penick was doing with the "right elbow/left heel" move he discussed in his little red book? Doesn't this move force your hips to slide forward before rotating?
  2. Went to a clinic at The Greenbrier where Tom Watson the pro emeritus was giving a public lesson and he said take your setup and the #1 thought when hitting a bunker shot is keep the shaft BEHIND the ball from setup all the way through impact. Try it and you'll be amazed.
  3. For the last few months I've been fighting getting my alignment right instead of out to the right. All of my divots are going go the left of my target resulting in either a straight pull or a pull hook. I've been fighting an out to in swing path. I recently started making a slower backswing into a larger shoulder turn and have noticed that my divots seem to be more online down my target line. Does a wider shoulder turn result in a more in to out swing? It seems like the bigger turn disallows the left shoulder for pulling out to quickly resulting in the out to in swing. Is this a true fix or just another cover up to a swing fault?
  4. Went out and had the chance to get about 200 balls with a PW today using this swing thought and I could definately start to get a feel for what Butch was talking about. When I was doing it properly I was hitting the ball slightly higher with the ball starting on my line then drawing off maybe 3 or 4 yards on a 125 yard shot. I COULD NOT for anything get the ball to start as a push and draw back to my line. If I aimed more right to counter the draw I would either hit a pull/draw that would start left and fly 10 to 12 yards left of the target or be a dead straight push that would be 10 or 12 to the right. Do most of you draw a wedge or do you normally fly it straight? I have a slight out to in swing path that usually plays a slight fade with every club from a 7 iron and up. I'm scared to try this with a driver yet because I'm afraid it's gonna cause some nasty slices. Should you make the same swing with the Driver? Will it promote a draw flight pattern with longer clubs?
  5. Recently read where if your having trouble coming over the top and hitting a fade or slice that your flaw is your throwing your right shoulder into the ball to early. Your fix is to keep your back pointed towards the target as long as possible after initiating the downswing and that will drop the club inside into the slot and will promote an in to out path that will produce a draw. Agree or disagree?
  6. My miss is usually coming up short of the green on a front pin or a push to the right.
  7. My 2012 season statistics were: Average Score 74.25 Average Score to Par +3.25 Greens in Regulation 54% Fairways Hit 71% Putts per Hole 1.64 Putts per Round 29.50 Sand Saves 50% Up and Downs 59% I want to lower my average score by about 3 strokes and break 70 a few times in 2013. What do you guys think I need to concentrate the majority of my practice time on in order to achieve those goals? I feel like I had a good year but man it seems like there is always that one slip up that costs me the difference in a 69 and a 72 or I miss one or two putts that should be made. What does my strengths/weaknesses appear to be? I feel like its more mental and managing a round than anything else. ANY input is greatly appreciated!
  8. What is your thought process or mental approach the evening before an important tournament or round?
  9. Right now I'm making pretty consistent swings and making solid contact but right now my misses are either a pull draw or a high push fade, especially with a Driver. I cannot for the life of me figure out what is causing this. My alignment is centered or slightly closed. I can work the ball pretty well with all clubs except my driver. I either hit it fairly straight or that high fade. I cannot draw the ball with a driver at all and its frustrating. Why can I draw all other clubs but no Driver. Also i feel like sometimes after impact i release the club to the left (or inside) of the target line, rather than straight through down the line. Whats a good drill to correct this?
  10. Slam your 5 Wood or long Hybrid right down the middle
