playing lesson stone creek
still tend not to get weight forward
still tend to get stuck and flip hands around and to the left--especially with hybrids
when i think short backswing, i don't get full shoulder turn, i just jerk club inside and up. have to make sure to finish shoulder turn, even during shorter backswing.
alignment tends to get off and to the right.
continue to work on putting stroke

golf machine putting lesson (last of 2nd series)
Putting lesson #1
Pendulum based swing
Mimic belly putter with handle pointed at belly button.
Use shoulders not hands, swing back with shoulders, swing through with shoulders
Left hand and right hand wrists are stable through swing.
when hands dominate swing, the arms separate from body.
Tempo is (one … through), twice as much follow through as down swing.
Remember to roll the ball. Think no backswing swing-make sure not to
hit the ball multiple times because clubhead is too fast.
For distance control, pick comfortable swing-for me twenty feet.
Adjust swing from there.

golf machine advanced ball striking lesson
advanced ball striking
maintain cup in left wrist
so club head follows path back. back of left hand aims at ball. when downswing starts, thrust right hand at ground and ball. maintain cup even after ball is struck
club should swing in to out.
this compresses ball properly.
if knockdown shot is desired, move ball way back in stance, and exaggerate cupping of hand. hold cupping while swinging club further through the ball down the line.
driver swing.
even more in to out. for this the club bottoms out and then goes up into the ball.
to swing on the proper path, (back of left hand at ball) i have to thrust right hand at the ground right away.
i am still working on coordinating the hip turn.
for the time being, i will not exaggerate the down the line backswing because i can't get my weight to the front properly yet.
my flaws are tempo (tend to be quick on backswing)
tend to pull club to inside on backswing rather than extending down the line.
fail to use hips
cupping the left wrist and keeping the back of hand at ball seems to automatically shorten the backswing.

Playing lesson
Putting
Sweep, not strike at ball
My tendency is to not rotate right hip enough on downswing
I also need to swing in to out.
Need to work on true punch out--maintains wrist with palm up
With new irons don't need to fear hook go ahead and shape shots
In wind need to adjust clubs and trust distances.

golf machine swing makeover lesson
iron swing-
take club straight back really far down line and then up. overall swing length feels like half swing. left shoulder may drop a little to accommodate the amount club goes back.
remember chang was pulling me back even further.
my tendency is club goes inside and wrist cock too early.
downswing initiated by right hip going forward, don't think about arms or hands at all.
hip only, not shoulders.
driver swing
longer swing so i have to remember tempo
take club straight back and then up. one piece. full wrist cock for driver swing.
remember to swing club down the shoulder line.
drop the club in the slot and swing right away.
downswing initiated by even bigger right hip movement forward. not shoulders just hip movement. this occurs as arms drop into slot
remember to take club all the way back.

playing lesson 6/8 brook hill
swing in to out! really in to out! arms need to be away from body by the 3 o'clock arm position.
need to rotate hip a little on downswing.
duck hooks come when hip is frozen. swinging in to out helps me to release club.
focus on backswing path and downswing freely in to out.
tend to stab at putts still
paint the path with the white line on the putter.
choke up on all clubs 1-2"
remember to swing while keeping head still and back.
