new laws of golf

say i need to work on controlling clubface.

to do that, i need to swing within myself.



worry about hooking badly with hybrids, may need to consider swapping 28 out for 5iron.

open clubface slightly to insure that at least i won't duck hook.

use floyd style chipping


think about alignment. esp for putting. shoulders should be parallel to target line.
swing down the line. have a free release. tendency is to be afraid to hit it too long. see.feel.trust.
good things will happen.



rhythm. flyfishing. think with putter and also with clubs.

bandon lessons

finish swing good things happen

golf's sacred journey ebook-balance rhythm patience--think flyfishing. see.feel.trust

athletic stance

putting grip, see videos and photos in bandon file

ball position, two balls in left instep, eyes over ball. athletic stance.

visualize 3 foot circle for ball to wind up in, want uphill putt if you can get it.

see.feel.trust. patience, flyfishing. hit with big muscles.

when putting think about making it. be aggressive. drop the putter on the ball focus in front of the ball.

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!

2010 thoughts

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.
