Good eye, Bulldog. Thanks for
looking and good eye on that.
As I remarked to Brian, I can
see myself struggling a little to
get the club back. Yes, the stance is
open and that's a 6 iron, so it
need not be. That just could be
what is restricting the back swing.
On the practice swing, it doesn't matter
(you don't see it happening) because
I'm basically more upright.
Tomorrow, first thing after Am meetings,
I am going to get some balls and get
to that point.
Brian's comment was thoughtful and on
point, and yes, I make and have made an
effort to follow through just as he
has suggested. Nevertheless, when I
fail to get it back, my follow through
almost always suffers. In fact, in the
first swing you can spot a bit of an
over the top move on the first move
down. See the divot go left.
I could comment on that casual swing.
What you are seeing is a reconstituted
(not reformed) golf gambler's swing, one
which for years played the man, not the
game, until reaching the glass ceiling. I
knew at some time I had to adjust priorities
and did. It's a pressure proof swing that needs
to tighten up to address my current goals.
Even the gun chewing played a part --
positive self talk happening.
So thanks, Bulldog and Brian. I am quite
surprised, given the potential of online
instruction and that I have been hanging around
here for a few months, that the interest in
seeing someone's swing is so low in this group.
I think a video is worth a thousand words.
Maybe it's Ed Shaw they're not interested in.
Oh, well.
By the way, on my last outing the pro pointed
out I was aiming left. Hmmm.. the search goes on.
