Notes from Practice 5/24/17

In the prior post I noted that Luke Donald, et al., set their lower body quite firmly before starting the golf swing.

I tried to do this today at the range.  I found it worked quite well and put me in a more consistent position prior to the down swing.

I applied this to my short irons.  I typically spend a lot of time pitching and chipping and I expect that things that work there will work in the full swing.  This setting the lower body was quite applicable to the short game too.  I liked the feeling and the solidity of the positions.

But wait there's more!  When I got to these positions, I then could feel that I was not maintaining my hinged wrist through the strike position.  I was able to do less hand compensation as I came into the ball.

I wanted to hit another bucket and see how this worked with the longer clubs, but ran out of time.

So, once again I am filled with hope and exuberance!

Not time for more, I have to clean up for lunch!
