Think that's what SLC4S's swing looks like now??

 

Try to look out for The Haney Project on the Golf Channel - he's working with Charles to get rid of that hitch.

 

I'm signed up for a lesson tomorrow, although I did play the best round of my life yesterday and shot an 83 on Ironwood CC's North Course (Par is 70). However, I am starting to hit about 1/3 of my iron shots with a real nasty left hook....I went to the range last night and started working on the interlocked finger grip.....I think I may like it and may start converting.


How did the round w/ your buddies at the Villa's go?

 

There is a book written by Ben Hogan that is a must for anyone who plays golf. It is cheap, not very long and it breaks down the fundamentals of the golf swing better than anything else that has ever been written on the subject.

Check it out, you won't regret it.

"Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf" by Ben Hogan

 

For sure, a golf lesson is a great way to inspire and disappoint all at once! I guess that the beauty of golf, its an ever evolving challenge.

I had much the same issue. I tried like hell to muscle the ball, years of martial arts programmed me to want to use my hips for power. Then one day, I took a lesson with a fella named Corky Nesbit. That little guy rocks... In just one lesson, he frustrated the hell out of me, and inspired me at the same time.

My game took an initial drop (not that it was great in the first place), but I did realize how much more natural my swing felt, and how I was more consistent across all of my clubs. The hardest part was allowing the club to do the work.

Ole Corky showed me a great trick for getting the right stance. Once my feet were shoulder width apart, push my rear end out as if I was closing a car door, and let my arms hang. Correct stance every time, after that.

Can't wait to start swinging again this year!

 

^ When my clubs and I come ITP, you better be ready (please don't embarrass me on the course).

 

I've got blisters after spending some quality time on the driving range this week.
Haven't played for 3 years, so I figure it's time to start again and really dedicate some time for improvement.

 

Skin tape helps me avoid blisters - my dumba$s forgot to put some on last week, one blister is almost fully healed.

 

I'm betting that even more golf will help even more with the blisters

 

Blisters means you are gripping the club too hard.
