That's great to hear, buddy!
What I've found is that I can actually feel myself get into the right position for the downswing if I get my backswing correct and I know before I even hit the ball that it will be good. The rest just sort of happens. I hate to say that I'm arming it, because I'm really upper-body-ing, but I hear exactly what your saying.
Glad to here you're going to take it on the course. I'm just about ready to do that myself. Going to get a practice session or two in the week and then playing a scramble in Minnesota this weekend. I really feel confident that I can take it to the course if I remember my pre-shot routine.
Practice session today. Seeing a nice increase in distance, though I just never really got in a groove today. Wasn't really loving being out there for some reason. Hit some good balls, especially Driver & 3W and 8 iron through PW. Struggled a bit with hybrids up through 6 iron at first. Spent a ton of time working on the 6 iron. I keep trying to kill it and the results suck. Smooth swing = longer and straighter shots.
That's some good work there Hawk. Are you also drilling in a pre shot routine?
It's early and I'm still waking up!
No, I just try to feel myself get off my front foot and get into the slot (whatever that means). Downloading your video right now via internet phone buddy
That's a solid pair of nines, Mike!
shot a 39 yesterday, only hit driver 3 times. Unfortunately that 9 goes with last week's 45 for an 84, which is great that I broke 85 finally, but wouldnt mind having it all done on the same day lol
yeah glad to hear. My swing is much shorter with the irons than it used to be. Making much better contact this year. Only time I really get into a ton of trouble with irons is dipping back shoulder coming through or pulling up out of my stance. Working on cutting down the frequency that both of those happen

Well, good news and bad news. We will start with the bad, I suppose. It rained 4-5 inches the day/night before we played. There was water all over the course. It was a sloppy mess, but it was still fun.
Bad:
- We finished in the middle of the pack with 72 (+2). Winners were at 60 (-10). Only three teams were actually under par. That had more to do with the skill level of the golfers rather than the course haha. I'm not into excuses, but our team was made of me, a guy that was better than me, and two guys who probably didn't hit a good shot all day. They just don't golf seriously and struggled pretty badly.
- Took me awhile to get my driver going and I was reverting a bit with it. Hit it really well on the range and then got all amped up and sent some balls way out there to the right. Big pushes as opposed to slicers, so I didn't feel so bad.
- A few crappy shots (this is golf, of course).
- Putted like doo-doo. The bad kind.
Good:
- Irons were so much better for me today. So freaking much better! I had my range distance, which is a good sign. Accuracy was pretty good, but the best thing is that I was making really good contact quite a bit. So happy about that. Eventually I can start worrying about how far I am from the pin, etc. I'm beyond thrilled to know that I can hit good shots that hit the green right now.
- Wedges were good. They were a bit of a mystery as I felt like I had lost them a little after the lessons. I talked to the pro a bit about that and he gave me some things to look at. Hit a choked up PW from 95 (uphill) that I stuck to 5 feet, which was really sweet. The GW was working well too. Nothing else really close to the pin, but I hit some greens and that's a very good thing for me.
- Got us to the green in two on a par 5 with the Heavy. Stuck it 20 feet from the pin, but on the green. Never done that before.
- Hit the 3 wood really good. The really good thing is that I saw my driver swing wasn't working and I know I can hit the 3W far enough to make it an acceptable alternative. In other words, I actually played smart. Almost got us on another green in two on a par 5, but the ball skipped through some casual water and stopped about 10 yards short. It was very good off the tee as well. Nice to know I can use that club. It's basically never been a reality for me.
As I said earlier, I did hit a few bad (fat) hybrid and iron shots. Just a matter of continually doing the right thing right now. It's coming though. I really want to go play again right now.

Thanks, Yoc. In the past, I'd often lose a good 10 yards on my irons (compared to the range) once I got to the course due to poor contact. I'd hit some the distance I was capable, but not the majority of them. I'll say it again. Just looking for a bit of consistency.
