Lesson 3 full swing
Hands were turning over too fast.
The chopping drill will be used as a basis for full swing
Right hand needs to power swing
Timing is important.
The longer the club the earlier the right hand pushes
Remember to keep chest still and let hands pass chest before turning over
Somehow have to get hands moving faster while keeping chest stationary.

chipping lesson #2
same technique but this time working on tempo.
we are going to change tempo for putting and chipping.
instead of smooth acceleration dying out.
we are going to accelerate and then stop.
with chipping focus on putting the leading edge between the ball and the ground.
decide on your stopping point based on the landing area. then practice swing to feel the correct takeaway for the basic speed.
if short, you can slow down but still stop hard. this will impart spin on the ball.
remember you can use these chips over bunkers. don't have to flop them.
can use all 3 wedges. don't be afraid of using 58.
remember basic setup is still important.
forward lean to set bounce on ground.
grip with left hand, very weak. bowed left wrist.
right hand on at the metal. make sure shaft is controlled in index finger.
using this technique, can open up club face.
if open club face 2 degrees, then open stance 1 degree.

square the leading edge to the target line
forward lean the shaft significantly and then grip the club.
eyes 12" behind ball.
swing smoothly
swing down target line.
hands maintain shaft lean.
shoulder based swing.
