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!
