visualize target line and make sure follow through is on that plane line.
follow up on the plane line, not just the target line.
short backswing.

to get the line you want

underhand throw with the right hand
and then visualize the hands following that path.

focus in front of the ball.
keep right hand off the shaft as much as possible, prevents casting.

work on minimizing rotation back to keep hands on plane and with minimal need to rotate on downswing. that is why you are hooking it off the planet. need to adjust wrist rotation to new path of wrists/minimize clubface rotation back and through

continiue to work on short, precise backswing length

see zach johnson's swing
note short backswing and strong grip on backswing. note how long right arm stays straight in follow through.
visualize plane you want as well as line.
rotate hard without hesitation.

grip in fingers of left hand/tour striker
minimize opening of club on backswing.

tempo tempo tempo
watch right hand grip
keep backswing short/backswing is just a few inches of arm motion
work on flattening approach/keep elbows level throughout
keep eyes 4" ahead of ball
let toe of club close
keep turning! shaft lean is important. keep left arm moving
finish follow through


chipping
commit to toe down, upright shaft, and putting grip.
use this from bunker or use belly shot with short backswing and wedge.

golf lesson kyle, 8/31/2010

1) ball has crept forward, bring it back. 6i just forward of center
2) shoulders a tad open
3) weight tends to fall backward, be able to dance on heels, move away from ball slightly and lean on shoelaces.
4) alignment alignment alignment! see the line first, a few feet in front of ball. set up clubface, then right foot then left foot.

tendency to rush swing and hands get ahead of body, clubface is open that is why ball goes right.

playing lesson kyle 8/1/2010

alignment continues to be a challenge. tend to align left.
ball position tends to creep back, especially for hybrids. this is what causes terrible lefts.

work on drill -2 tees serve as gate. ball just forward of gate. face is aligned between tees. pin 3 feet forward serves as intermediate target. align to intermediate target rather than setting up clubface behind ball. This also works for putting.

tendency is to not get weight forward and finish shot when i feel shots are tough.
golf is feel, visualize ball going where you want. body will make it happen.

punch shot. ball only slightly backward, finish low.

mentally-be confident and positive.

hole 1-driver is okay
hole 2-leave 160 out. wedge for second shot.
hole 3-driver okay, align carefully
hole 4- consider hybrid when tees are back
hole 5- driver okay, 4 wood okay. align carefully.
hole 6-hybrid hybrid wedge-

shot projected 44 with kyle

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.
