Fundimental Errors

The problem with golf, if you can't "just do it," is keeping track of all the stuff you're trying to do.

I watched a video the other day about the driver.  One of the things mentioned is to keep the right hand below the left.  In other words, we do not want a rapid roll of the wrists any where near the hitting area.

I've not sure I've heard it expressed in that way before.  But at this point I'm a willin' to try just about anything.

Now I feel a bit like Zack Johnson when I swing.  He has a problem with his left elbow and can't roll his arms over.  I felt that I was holding off the roll of the wrists.  It felt strange, but I could not argue with the impacts. 

On more tidbit was the setup a la Mo Norman, who liked to put his driver about 10 inches behind the ball.  This kept him from getting leaned to the left at setup and keep behind the ball during the hit.  Since the drive is hit on an upward path, this "offset" seems a solid and useful tool.

This was mentioned by a pro, who will do this when he is having driver problems on the course.

So, golf tomorrow.  More later!  Also I purchased a new range finder, so I'll have some comments on that.
