Played 18 and practiced putting.

Practiced my priority areas; flatter left wrist and shallower downswing.

Back garden practice working on laying the club down during the downswing.

90 minutes at the range on shallower downswing plane and booming the driver......great fun!

Cancer is shit......my Dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer a few months ago and it turns your whole world upside down. He has gone from my big strong rock to a skeleton in terms of body size but he's still fighting bless him! I feel for you and everyone else who has to battle the beast.

10 minutes on the transition, I've actually gone from very little in terms of weight shift to too much. Focusing on a more fluent tempo......easier said than done!

Worked on slow 3/4 driver swings, I have a tendancy to rush my arms through too quick on the downswing so I'm trying to feel as if my right foot is staying planted longer.

10 minutes mirror work on posture and key #2.

More of the same.....flatter left wrist at A4. I will video the drill tomorrow and post in my swing thread.

15 minutes at the range working on full swing and pitch shots before playing 18.

More mirror work on wrist position at the top. Hitting the range in the morning before playing 18. Hoping to see a little improvement in both ball flight and distance.

10 minutes of mirror work on a flatter left wrist and higher hands at A4.

Played 18 and then had a 1 hour lesson with the pro which was brilliant, he is the best one to one coach I have worked with! He highlighted my cupped left wrist as my priority piece straightaway.....as the guys on here did! So he has given me some drills to work on which are; getting the right elbow to point more towards the ground at A3-A4 and having the right wrist flatter to promote a more bowed left wrist. I did short slow backswings, checking the wrist position and then hitting the shot.

More practice swings in the garden, focusing on the left hip moving up during the transition to promote a more inside path.

Could only manage 5 minutes mirror work on my set-up and pre-shot routine......due to waking up with a really painful left shoulder blade! Hope a bit of rest will sort it.

Working on a slightly more upright stance to help my pivot along with the usual flatter left wrist move.

I believe I did achieve this goal.

10 minutes in the garden working on a flatter left wrist and centered pivot.

Worked on a more inside path downswing at the range, it's going to take lots of repetitions to change my current path.

Mirror work on backswing and transition.

Busy day at work and home so just did 5 minutes of slow controlled backswings, checking club face position at various points.

I stumbled across the "twist away" takeaway to create a flatter left wrist and it seems to make an improvement. Time and repetition will decide whether it makes any difference. The golf swing is not decided by the position at the top though. A flatter wrist should be the easier part, the OTT and weight shift are where my swing will need major work.

Practiced all afternoon on reducing my cupped left wrist with improved results.

Rory almost seems to play himself out of form for whatever reason. Maybe he is the type of player that would benefit from fewer tournaments, just playing in the majors and others which suit his game. He probably doesn't get that option though as the #1.
