finally had time to get to the range and practice.
started off not too good, lots of fat and hooked shots.
THEN i remembered what Mike told me at the Dublin clinic...STAND TALL..SWING DOWN THE LINE,..(i was hunched over and swinging inside on my backswing)
Now i stand as tall as the club will let me and make sure i swing along the target line for as long as possible.
now i have more distance, straighter shots and at last my finish is by my left ear....effortless!..it is even easier to keep my eye on the ball for longer.(always a problem for me)
i now truly understand my swing.
shot 79 on saturday at allestree golf course (my best ever score)
Thanks Mike!
For all you other ss's, just check your posture from time to time as you can let it slip if you're not carefull.
Thanks for that post, Ian. That thought will be in my next practice when I can get back outside. Bet I get quite a bit of up and down head movement because of that. Great score on what looks to me like one heck of a course!
Ian wow!!! congrats! I am so happy for you - not only are you 'getting it' - putting it together with good swings now comes the good scores - that must have been fun to break 80 on a course like that - and at last the finish we worked so hard on achieving in Dublin! Now you know the secret - effortless/ no tension/ turn and whip with the body doing the work not the hands... I am very happy for you and proud of you for the work you put in - keep it up/ always remember your fundamentals. please keep me up dated on how you are doing/ look forward to seeing you next year somewhere across the pond take care Mike
stand tall to hit the ball
