i used the 3 skills and nailed it!

sound good Slater, stick at it.

This is my third week since I bought the 3Skills book, and now I will give you my version of what it all means to me. I am pleased I bought it, as a high handicapper I do not hesitate to recommend it to other high handicappers. The author gives his reason why you should concentrate on these 3 skills, being that there are many different types of swings out there, but all good golfers have these 3skills in common. So if you can achieve these skills, it really dose not matter how you do it, just the fact that you are doing it, he tells us to forget thinking about your swing, go to the ball and nail it.
It is my contention that you have to think of your swing until such time that you have perfected delivering the clubhead to impact, as per 3skills. I myself, am still working on skill one, hitting down with my irons, I found that I was turning my shoulders too flat to hit down as required, so I have had to work on turning my shoulders to swing more upward, while still turning to the inside, the point I am making is that if you have problems with your swing that makes completing the 3 skills correctly, be it your stance, posture, backswing, downswing or throughswing, don’t go running elsewhere for the answer, do the exercises shown in the book for each skill, which one you are not doing correctly and what do to change that, as I have done. I don’t know about forgetting about all swing thoughts, I don’t think that is possible until I feel comfortable with the 3skills. I am not doing anything special at this time bit I do feel I am playing a lot better and will keep improving as I get more used to it. I have only recommended this book to high handicappers as I do not feel that I am in a position to recommend anything to anybody with much lower handicaps than myself, I will leave that to others and I am sure you can draw your own conclusions from all that’s been said on this forums. I have bought and read many books etc; this one is the simplest and the one that makes me think the hardest about what I am doing. All the best to everyone, happy golfing.

Hud,

What a great post, I agree that as long as there is a good set-up and alinement, simply let go of all swing thoughts and focus on the task.........hitting the ball correctly as per the book.

Good to hear it is working for you.

Ian.

great post the hud
glad to hear its coming together for you

had my best range session last night with irons and driver so just got to make it so it becomes 2nd nature

Slater, give us a vid
Slater, Slater give us a vid!

i will when i get my new camera
a mexican coach driver took a shine to my old one

bandit

As long as that's all the bandit took a shine to.........................

Had you told him about 3Skills? And he still took your camera?

Unbelievable.

Actually, Pedro, what's unbelievable is you calling anyone a bandit

Meester Pot meet Senor Kettle.

Anyway best of luck on Saturday mate; don't want to lay on too much pressure but with you new 3Skills and your old handicap you should cream the field No excuses allowed.

surely cant be called a bandit as i havent won anything yet
current course conditions dont lend themselves to crisp iron shots unfortunately but ill have a go

Yeh, given my tendency to produce the occassional Sally Gunnell the course conditions arenn't ideal. Good luck anyhow - you've got to win now so that I can justify calling you Pedro - actually thought you'ld won a couple within your handicap group, sorry.

sub division win yes, biggies no!
will try and win it so you can carry on sledging me

Why not try some 'Paula Radcliff' or 'Son-in Law' shots for a change?

go brian enlighten us

A Paula Radcliffe: Not quite as ugly as a Sally but runs further.

A Son-in-Law: Not what we expected but it will have to do

Slats,

Just thought of another:

A Mother-In-Law: Very ugly and bothers you all day
