Sorry for the lack of updates. Life got busy lately!
I'm now going to be out of action for some weeks as my hernia op is coming up.
See You in November.

Swing changes
I've been trying to implement the swing changes after my lesson with Harry the other week. So far it has consisted of a lot of indoors movements trying to feel the correct swing and a lot of swings into a net. I have tried taking it to the course a couple of times but that is demoralising.
I understand that swing changes often mean you get worse before you get better and that's the case with me. I now do not know weather a draw or a fade is coming from my swing so I'm missing both ways and just not striking the ball well everything feels weak and fast at the moment. I will persevere as I know this takes time and I have all winter!
I just think I will need to start spending more range time rather than on course time and that sucks a bit.

4th in the comp.
How did I do just informed me that my net 69 was good enough for 4th in yesterdays monthly medal. My playing partner Matthew came 3rd also with a net 69 but a better last 9 count back. The comp was won with a net 67. So the highest scoring comp of the year!!!! and the CSS is still 69!!!!! How does that work???
Anyhow, it all adds up to no handicap cut. And me slightly ruing the out of bounds push fade I had on the par 5 16th that cost me 2 shots :)
It's the first time I have ever been out of bounds on that hole!

September Medal
I played very poorly today but in hindsight and after analysing my golf I learned quite a lot.
Firstly the facts, I scored 94 net 69 and if the css is it's usual 69 it will be as you were in terms of my handicap.
My long game was tosh and I played all day with an over the top move that made me come across the ball and get a fade with longer clubs and a pull with short ones. I can't explain how alien the fade shot shape is to me I only get one per blue moon usually. Even if I'm playing bad my swing will produce a hook or a push as my miss but almost never a fade. As a consequence I spent all day playing and expecting my normal right to left spin and yet getting left to right spin. This really stuffed up my iron shots but I just could not bring myself to play for a fade through terror of aiming left and seeing the ball going even more left. So I aimed straight and dealt with the result. The result was only one green in regulation, ONE!!!!
So what's my excuse? I mean I always have an excuse right? :) Well here it is, it pissed it down with rain the whole way apart from when we got to the last few holes. It's the first time I ever played golf in full waterproofs (normally in a social knock I walk off if it pisses down) and it is different in the wet. Impossible to keep my grips dry, my glove, even my glasses kept steaming up! I'm a fair weather golfer!!! Rain is not fun.
The greens were saturated, standing water puddles and some were more like sponges rather than greens.
But how did I putt after last nights lesson? Well, bad, no real real bad!... I had an OK looking 33 putt's, but 3 putted twice, once from just 4 feet! And missed a tone of four to five footers. I can't blame the greens, water or not, it was tentativeness that did for me and that brings me to what I learned.
My best golf is played care free in social rounds, rip the driver or three wood, hit the green. Who cares about the out of bounds left? The worst that can happen is a lost ball and because you don't care you seldom find the trouble on a social knock.
Switch to a medal, and out comes the 3 iron and you trying so hard not to hit it left you get frozen legs, body takes over and a duck hook into the out of bounds is the likely result! Or you knob it because your thinking about trouble rather than smacking it down the middle!
On the greens your thinking about not missing from three feet so you dolly it at the hole instead of stroking it in positively.
In short you get tense and tentative instead of relaxed and positive and why? all because of a stupid card!! It's just daft, I mean what's the worst thing that could happen? 0.1 back and a few lost balls? Really, it makes no difference to me if my handicap is 26 instead of 25, both are tosh, I can 0.1 back ten times and it makes no difference. But one round in the low 80's and it's a huge cut.
So from here on in I promise to play medals without caring what happens, if I knob it out of bounds six times and shoot a hundred and five then so what? I do know that playing without being worried about it will mean that I'm much more likely to play to my potential rather than to my handicap.
Anyway, after that long moan, the positives? I really enjoyed playing a full round, even if it was raining! I'm going to play more medals, I have missed it. I chipped brilliantly today justifying all the short game work of recent times and giving myself loads of 3-5 foot one put chances after missing the greens. Even my sand play was great!
We will see what happens next week.

Putting lesson
On Friday evening I had a putting lesson with Harry. The lesson revolved around a couple of drills the main one being for grooving a good putting stroke from close in and the other for distance lag putt's.
Firstly my grip was ok and my alignment is ok, the main change in my set up is to get me further over the ball so I'm looking right down on it rather than slightly inside the line.
The first drill was using tees to form a gate in front of the hole just larger than a golf ball then using tees to form a club path gate from 4-5 foot away. Once I got the speed right the ball was going through the gate almost all the time. My stroke can be very consistent when I get in the groove. Then once you take the tee peg gate away it's almost impossible to miss the hole it seams so big.
The other drill was similar but from a distance of 30 feet and instead of a tee gate in front of the hole a tee coral was formed with pegs in a semi circle one foot from the hole. the aim is to get the ball in or past the hole but stopping within 1 foot of the hole. But that was secondary in the lesson to the stroke which he made me change to a much straighter follow through.
It seams my problem is i'm doing to much of an arc stroke instead of a straight through stroke.
Anyway as always happens by the end of the lesson I was sinking putts for fun from all over the practice green. Just in time for the Saturday medal I thought!!! :)

Lesson
So I had my lesson with Harry the assistant pro and the crux of the lesson is to do with my weight transfer and hip rotation.
Harry Say's I over rotate my hips thereby straightening my leg and leaving too much weight on my left side, I then reverse that by hanging back on my right side in effect leaning back on my through swing.
Sounds like Stack and Tilt!!
So the drill to change this is to angle in my right foot and to get a little weight on my right side in my back swing. Then swing through without leaning back. This is much easier to say that to do! However when it goes correctly I do get a very powerful strike so I'm happy to practice this move until I 'get it'.
However I have also decided to postpone implementing the swing practice until next week, that's after a shocking 8 holes last night when I tried out the new swing! Normally not a problem but I'm entered in a medal this Saturday morning and I don't want to mess with my swing or my head before I play it. I'm hoping for a nice cut, but we will see... It's always different with a card in hand.
Tonight I played 5 holes on my own trying the new swing and put 2 balls out of bounds before I got a text from Stephen and I headed back to the first tee, I did not score those 5 holes as I was just practising.
Back on the first again we were joined by Tom a young guy off 17 and we made a three ball for a quick nine holes. In a turn of fortunes I played great for the ten holes we played together as a three ball, scoring a 4 over par 42 for 10 holes. How much would I pay for that score through 10 on Saturday :)
In another development I booked Harry for a putting lesson on Friday Afternoon after talking to him about it. It will I hope be a start on being a great putter!
Stats for tonight's round:
10 holes
Score 42 gross (par 38)
FW's 57.1%
GiR 6/10
Putts 20 (2.0/hole & 2.17/GiR)
Penalties 0 :)

Putting!
You have to love putting :)
No really! I think It must be the one area that a club golfer can become as good as a pro in and it makes such a massive difference to your scores.
Putting does not take the natural athleticism and robot like precision of a tour pro's full swing, it only needs a decent technique, a lot of dedicated practice time and the mental belief that you are, or are going to become a great putter. And yet constantly on Golf forums you see people bemoan that they are crap at putting, I have even been guilty of it myself in the past! The funny thing is that while every club has a practice putting green, the only people I ever see on ours for more than 10 minuets before a round are Juniors or young scratch team players. Yet go to a Tour event's practice day and the practice green will not only be full of pro's but also of coaches and gizmos/computers/cameras and they stay there working on their putting for a long time.
I'm confident that I'm going to become a great putter :)
To that end I'm dedicated to practicing my putting and I have been thinking about how I'm going to do that over the winter when the practice green will be hairy and slow. Also what I need to practice and how.
Firstly my putting has improved no end this year from practice and the corresponding belief, but I need to build on it so...
I need to have a lesson, but not just any old lesson. I want to find a pro that is a bit of a putting specialist because I want some one to teach me a solid basic putting stroke. Grip, stance, stroke, tempo etc. I'm currently using a straight back, straight through stroke with a face balanced mallet putter but find myself wondering if I'm not more suited to a taller stance and an arc putting style. Once I have some expert guidance on my putting stroke then I can shift the doubt from my mind and get on with practicing my stroke over the winter.
I figure the winter is the best time for working on the technical aspects of the putting stroke and that summer is the time to work on the feel, line reading and target concentration aspect of putting.
My aim is to be able to almost always lag a put to within three feet, To be deadly at holing out from three feet and to be very handy from the 5-10 ft range :D

My new golf ball (Wilson Staff FG Tour)
I'll make no secret that I really like the Taylor Made Penta TP golf ball, it putt's great, feels soft yet powerful, holds it's line well off the driver and checks up on the green fairly sharp'ish. It's downsides are that it's cover gets shredded fairly fast and it costs about £3 a ball.
There is no way I would pay that much out of principle, because I can full well imagine how much it actually costs to make a golf ball and the answer is not anywhere close to £3. Also as I still lose balls with regularity then it would hinder my game, call me tight but if there is a chance that I'm going to throw away £3 into the long cabbage then I get a little tentative which is wholly counter productive.
On the other hand I have started to subscribe to the theory that says you should play one type of ball so you know how it will react on the greens, rather than playing any old found ball that you pull out of the bag. I find that argument to be common sense.
So your left with a few options;
1) buy premium tour balls, take the cost on the chin because you know that your getting top performance around the green?
2) Buy a cheap ball that you don't mind loosing and put up with the niggle in the back of your mind that tells you that chip would have stopped at 4 feet from the pin rather than 6 if you had been playing a decent spinney ball?
3) Compromise between the two? (Usually the worst of all options in my mind)
I had pretty much decided to go with option 2 and fill my bag with Srixon AD333's, They feel softish and so putt ok, you don't mind losing the odd one or three and there even durable enough that you can play practice rounds with them as well. I could have got them for £1.03 per ball brand new.
Then I started to hear about a new urethane covered tour level ball that was a better value price. What first got my attention was the enthusiastic recommendations it got by people whose opinions I respected on Golf Magic forum. As I researched it further there was not very much negative to be said about the ball. Performance wise it was right up there with the ProV1, Z-Star, Penta type balls. As you would expect everyone had a different opinion about which of those balls was actually the very best. But the fact remained that the performance of the new ball was at that kind of level where it's accepted as one of the top performing balls.
Then I saw them on offer from a reputable Internet retailer meaning that I could get them at a price of £1.25/ball. After finally getting to try out a sleeve last night I am a convert and my order is placed. My ball of choice for the foreseeable future is the Wilson Staff FG Tour.
Why do I like it?
Well the tech stuff tells me it's a three piece ball with a durable urethane cover and traction control for more efficient interaction with the club face, but that is meaning less to me.
* I like the way it feels off my putter and the way it rolls towards the hole. It gives me confidence with the flat stick.
* I like the fact that it feels tacky out of the box giving you the impression of grip and spin.
* It feels soft yet substantial off the mid/long irons and sounds good when you hit it.
* It spins a lot off short irons/wedges and stops fast on the green.
On chips and short pitches you can throw it at the hole with a lofted wedge and it will check up, or run it in with less loft but be confident it's not going to shoot through the green.
* I love the way it launches higher off my woods and the fact that it does not seam to miss behave with too much draw spin. But then I am a low spin player with my woods and the higher launch got me noticeably better carry.
* Durability, I played only 11 holes last night but had multiple drives and multiple iron shots/pitches/chips on every hole, the three balls I played all look like new so far apart from some grass staining.
One thing is yet to be seen, how that higher launch performs into the wind?
Perception is everything with a golf ball, I felt confident with it so I probably swung better at it, consequently I got better driving distance, I putted well with it and just liked the ball. At £1.25 if I lose a few I'm not bothered and probably because of that I still have the three that I took out to play last night. For me it's as good as the Penta that is my yardstick for Tour level balls.
I feel like I got a bargain :D

August Month End
Despite the three week break I still got in plenty of golf and in hindsight played the best golf of my year by far.
The stats show the hard work of June and July on my short game is starting to pay off. One putt's are up and three putt's are down. My putting stroke is a lot more positive and chipping is getting the ball closer more often as seen in my scramble stats.
