Conclusons...

If you've not read the prior post, it makes sense to go there and do so...

But if you are up to date, the question was had I figured out how my driver swing differed from all others.  I thought that it was my take away, with the driver being too flat -- and my shoulders too flat -- which was causing a baseball swing.

Oh, it was all good if I timed it perfectly.  But if I didn't then it was smothered hooks or slices and topped shots; all in all enough to make a retired man weep.  I managed to time it about once a round. 

If I was at the range, then it all went well.

Have I managed to fix and will this be the last blog post?

I'm happy to announce that I did fix it.  I pulled maybe three tee shots, but all the others were pretty good.   No hooks, no slices, and distance was pretty good.  It was a bit scary to trust it, but trust it I did and whacked away. 

I was also able to retain the extra yardage that the irons showed up with the other day.

So all in all the golf swing is fine.  I didn't score as well today as yesterday, there were some short putts that got away, but the long game was solid and I'm pretty happy about it.  I still broke 80, but there were a couple of times with back to back bogies.

I think it will not be difficult to retain that as all the swings are now the same.  There is not some new thing that I have to keep in mind or write in chalk on the top of the driver.  As soon as I became aware of what was wrong, it was an easy fix.
 

It also seems to me that I can swing faster/harder from the positions I'm getting into at the top.  I've managed to get my hands further away from body during the swing and it seems there is more room and time to create more speed as use the lower body to start things into motion.  (Kind of a complex sentence there!)

The next goal will be to explore the speed possibilities.

Thus the blog will continue, and I hope it will be moving a new direction.  The blog will go dark for a few days as we are on the road to North Carolina.  I'll be taking clubs and Jay will be coming too, so we'll get some rounds in.  I'll see if I can write a bit more about the courses.  They can be quite scenic in south east.
