    This makes sense to me now. Playing with someone else at least for me does affect my game. I generally play better golf on a solo round then with someone. Since we joined a club my solo rounds are on course practice. I keep stats and a score but it's not accurate. So I do not post it. We do have to inform the Pro Shop of practice rounds. They watch tee times and score posting like a hawk. They will send a warning letter to the entire membership if to many people are not posting and will then follow-up to the competition committee. When I played publics I played a

    @mvmac or @iacas do you have drills to help get this down? I guessing you do, this site is filled with a lot of great stuff From deliberate to eventually full swing. Thanks

    Me to. I really enjoy The Open. Getting up early in the morning, having a nice cup of coffee. Lot's of fond memories of enjoying this with my Father. Also, my wife really gets into The Open. She cheers and groans, it's blast and such a wonderful time watching it with her.

    I believe what you saying regarding fans in the stands and losing money. I would think with the TV revenue they bring in it would not matter if there were fans in the stands. NBC Sports Acquires British Open in 12-Year Deal - Sports Media Watch This contract is for $50M per year dating back to 2006 with the contract starting in 2017 for 12 years.

    Glad you started this thread. Following to see what gets posted. I need to learn a lot more about stretching as you stated.

    Day 5 Halted my Gold Flex work out. Need to listen to the body, getting joint pain. My right knee was flaring up. I did Day 22 of the Covid challenge. Really needed this drill to get things squared away with set up. Once I finished doing those drills I used my 8 iron and started with small short swings keeping Day 22 in mind. Worked up 1/4 then 1/2 then 3/4 and finally finished with 5 full swings. Also kept in mind getting wide on back swing. Very happy with center face contact. Yesterday I was either center or toe contact. Today, center thru all, well except the ver

    I jumped down to Day 22 and did those drills. I felt off with my weight in stance, just didn't thinks were right. Got into the 3 drills, fixed my issues. I had to much of weight on my toes. I didn't have a pool noodle so I substituted PVC piping. That really worked my balance. Great drills!

    FYI I would be wearing shorts and a pullover in those temps while playing golf.

    Bumping this thread, it is a great thread filled with drills. Hope it is ok that I bumped it. I did Day 1 yesterday. Today I started with Day 1 and did 10 reps then I proceeded to do Day 2 and did 3 sets of 10 reps for the first 2 drills. For the third drill I pulled out my tablet and recorded the third drill doing 5 reps.

    When I watch a Pro and slow mo their swing I keep reminding myself they are Professional Athletes I am not. They can do more with a swing then I can. So I do worry about what you said, am I getting to long because of watching them Crazy how the ball goes just as far with what one thinks is a 1/2 or 3/4 type swing compared to a full swing. I just need to trust it more. Thank you for your response @Dwall4017

    I voted to long. Honestly I have no idea if my back swing is to long, just right or to short. I had neck surgery and that did not allow a big back swing for a long time. I had one Fitter tell me that I had a compact swing but managed to get a lot of efficiency out of it. Then last summer one of the guys I was playing with told me my back swing was getting huge. I watch videos on this site, PGA players swings in slow motion, some videos on line and to be honest I have no idea on how big a back swing should be. This off season I have been doing drills to work on 1/4, 1/2 an

    Day 3 - broke it into 2 morning session & evening session Morning - worked on take away - Covid Day 1 drill, straight soft trail arm, weight 60/60/100 for irons did 10 to 20 drills slow motion with 6i with no ball striking. Then I finished up with my 6i hitting 20 balls doing these drills at about 1/4 to 1/2 back swing. Focused on all of the above with final emphasis of getting my hips thru and 100% on my left leg after the swing is done. Evening Session - Warmed up with GF and 20 Multi swings, stretching Did the above drills to start then proceeded into full swing c
