becky lesson 2 and 3 full swing

lesson 2 5/23

alignment is problematic. body lines are not parallel to target lines.

finish the swing. hold follow thru. finish should match backswing

watch for standing up on downswing/maintain tush line.

lesson 3 5/30

alignment much improved.

ball position tends to be back, leading to pulls and duck hooks. 4 wood should be just inside left heel.

watch tempo-think wedge swing. tempo is rushed, tends to lead to duck hooks

finish position improved greatly.

short game lesson becky #1

putting-practice maintaining triangle by putting with grip in palms and fingers straight down. work on lag putting.

chipping-5 rules
ball inside right foot
choke up
open stance
forward press
keep clubhead low to ground/short backswing
(for me, hold finish--go right down line)

use different clubs as necessary, do not increase backswing length as that introduces inconsistency. figure out distance necessary. chip from back part of fringe.
-------------------
played today==46
sprayed 4 wood off tee. make sure weight turn first (lighthouse drill) when weight doesn't get to front leg, ball slices left. square up clubface.
putted pretty well, chipped well.
first birdie on hole 8.
on hole 2, no need to take over trees. make sure second shot stays in upper half. probably can use 21 hybrid.
on hole 3, if slicing, aim right at bunker. need to stay away from trees on right side.
on hole 5, prob can use 21 hybrid. ob on right side.
on hole 6, make sure to take line carefully if using 4 wood for second shot as OB is on left side of fairway after bridge.

great video series

new thoughts

backswing is few inches
downswing initiated with right knee
arms along for the ride

hummmm during downswing to remove hit impact.

in the sand visualize line just before ball. right hand off to avoid decelerate. finish high. turn chest!

center of clubface on ball
imagine club is a ruler, both hands need to square club
drive right elbow to ball
keep clubshaft on right index finger hook! like that orange swing aid thing

alignment alignment alignment!
set head before swing.
visualize pinching ball off turf.
turn body all the way to finish.
control tempo.

remember tourstriker video which shows how far ahead hands are at impact with head back.

playing lesson with dave

alignment alignment alignment
get weight forward when finishing swing
widen stance

shorten backswing on pitches and chips
magic triangle
keep elbow indentations up!

trust your swing and finish. don't steer club with hands! don't worry about what happened last shot. tendency to pull shot, then compensate on next shot with push, then push hook. just forget about freak results and don't try to correct for them

important lesson

control tempo with all shots
swing slowly on backswing, control tempo--feel the clubhead, let the club swing itself.
finish shots. don't decelerate no matter what

grip-grip with middle 2 fingers of each hand.

hogan magic move
push shoulder back, pull shoulder up (for me, right elbow to body forces this to occur)--must leave room for elbow to track. that means start moving hips before arms go forward, allows arms to drop into slot.
keep left arm tight to body during follow through
works with all shots, including putts.

magic triangle must be maintained. keep elbows pointed up. no shanks possible. no need to swing arms.
focus on ground 4" in front of ball.
baseball grip. right hand can assist rotation of club. think about right wrist feel at impact.
