driver swing lesson
DO NOT LET BACKSWING GET TOO LONG
swing back (counting 1-2-3)
swing arms along newly established shoulder line.
Concentrate on swing from hip to ball. like cracking a whip.
continue to extend down that line.
right elbow should be fully in front of hip
More advanced swing will have arms rotate through and hips fire

new driver swing 2
work on alignment of feet
need to control length of backswing, can get too long easily.
backswing should be linked. arms and body turn together
backswing-count 1,2,3
swing back, keep back turned away from target, let arms swing down shoulder line.
next step will be adding slight rotation to add draw to the push i am working on now.
keep arms in front of body.

driver swing lesson
the goal of today's lesson was to concentrate on the feel of the clubhead.
the focus area is from hip down to ball.
the emphasis is to swing the club to the ball and then stop.
the path should be inside out.
remember to leave right shoulder back.
the feel is casting the club immediately.
hips are relatively stable.
remember to control clubhead with right index finger
maintain width in backswing and downswing.
do not reroute at the top, do not drop club at the top, swing back on same path that backswing took.
remember image of downswing is that right shoulder comes forward a little but shoulder remain closed to line, then arms sweep through.
for my swing i will just hold right shoulder steady and hips steady.

driver swing
relax arms.
keep right arm extended back, don't allow it to collapse. goal is to maintain width.
make sure club is square to line at setup. for me, this means driver clubhead looks slightly closed.
swing in to out.
keep right arm extended even after striking ball.

post bandon/ 1st lesson
short irons-turn chest to ball and let arms swing past. no hands/arms. chest driven swing. maintain chest/arm relationship, don't lash at ball
long irons 4/5-turn chest through ball. swing club back shallow. no hands/arms. chest driven swing. maintain chest/arm relationship, don't lash at ball
driver swing- swing in to out. remember to let clubhead pass hands. like snapping towel. don't let arms collapse in transition. keep right arm close to body, swing in to out. clubface slightly closed at setup is actually square to target line. maintain chest/arm relationship, don't lash at ball. try to hit push. driver swing is flat compared to iron swing. finish swing. no chicken wing.

during iron swing, hands are passive, hip turn drives swing.
During driver swing, use very little hip turn. keep head focused on pretend ball. make sure swing is not steep by throwing clubhead down.
very active hands. finish backswing, then throw clubhead down right away. No hip turn. keep back to target.
keep right arm extended through swing.
FINISH SWING
hybrids are like iron swing.

putting lesson
Putting
Constant tempo. Same length backswing as follow through.
Visualize ball rolling in hole.
Two through swings(no backswing) and step up and putt Keep head still. When practice swinging, feel where swing ends. Feel the flat left wrist. Retain that feeling and step up and putt right away..
For long putts, grip little harder. Swing at same speed as shorter putts, not faster. Longer backswing (let it finish), same speed downswing (don't rush it) with tighter grip.
Remember to finish swing.
