I'll be working a little more today on inside out swing like the President does and also going to tee up a bit higher with my left shoulder squared up to add some distance. I expect some erratic shots initially. (I play right handed).
A new inside out swing completely changed my game. I went from a 17 handicap earlier this year to a 9 as of last week.
Didn't have decent scoring results Monday. I shot 101 and 105 on the two rounds. I did notice that although erratic while I am reinventing my swing, I did increase drive distance by about 15 yds.
Headed out to play another 36 in a just a bit.--Will be working on having my right arm at a 90 degree angle on the backswing and increasing swing width.
A golfers goes to confession and says, "Forgive me father for I have sinned. I used the F-word" over the weekend. The priest asked him to tell him why he let such a word slip. The man says, "Well father I played golf on Sunday with my buddies instead of going to church." The priest says, "And you got upset over that and swore?" The man replied, "No, that wasn't why I swore. On the first tee I duck-hooked my drive well left into the trees." The priest said, "And that's when you swore." The man replied, "No, it wasn't. When I walked up the fairway, I noticed my ball got a lucky bounce and I had a clear shot to the green. However, before I could hit the ball, a squirrel ran by and grabbed my ball and scurried up a tree." The priest asked, "Is that when you said the 'F-word'?" The man replied, "No, because an eagle then flew by and caught the squirrel in its sharp talons and flew away." The priest let out a breath and queried, "Is that when you swore?" The man replied, a little testily because of the constant interruptions, "No, because the eagle flew over the green and the dying squirrel let go of my golf ball and it landed within 5 inches of the hole." The priest screamed,.... "Don't tell me you missed the fucking putt!!!"
Wednesday's results were a little better as both rounds were 98. I was able to get the swing wider and keep the left arm straight and distance AND accuracy improved a bit.--But not enough to get me back to the 80s. It feels a bit awkward but I know I am on the right track. --Headed out for 18 here in a minute or so. --I will be standing a little closer to the ball today to help keep my hands close to my body.--
