Watershed lesson

Wow, what a day.

I'm really on cloud nine, because today I hit the golf ball in a totally different way, a solid compressing strike resulting in a driving penetrating, natural draw that both felt and looked class. Night and day when comparing it to my old scoopy high flying ball flight.

How did this miracle happen?

Well I had a 4 hour lesson with a great teaching pro

Not only did he explain what I was doing in my old swing, but he explained what I had to change and why along with how to change it and why! In fact the lesson was also night versus day compared to any of my other lessons from the past. I now have a 1 hour video file with my personal analysis, drills and examples on it to review at my leisure. For the first time I feel that I understand my own swing a little bit, understand why I shanked, why I had the high ball flight and what was causing me issues. Most importantly I have a clear path to work towards what is IMO a great way to hit the ball.

Damn, if I can hit it like today even half the time I will have a permanent grin on my face, not only was the strike so solid, but so in control and repeatable. I feel like I could go out and nail shot after shot almost exactly where I want it to go. Is this what single figure golfers feel like? I hope so :)

I'm still getting my head around all that has happened today, but as a taster, this is a slow mo of a 7iron after the instruction.
