Good luck with the lessons GG! Looks like a lot of fun and I will be following along intently.

Let me tell you guys and gals. This Golfer Gal can whack the heck out of the ball! She hit several very good shots with her almost new swing. One drive in particular I remember she pounded the heck out of it , knocked it on the green and was putting for birdie. She had like four holes in a row that she had a four on. The par putt that put KellyBo and I out of the match on was so cool. GG jumped about a foot off the ground when that putt fell! :blob:.. Great job GG and it was so much fun out there today :thumb:
I know you guys have been busy over there at THP HQ shooting videos for The Morgan Cup, but I'm curious how the swing is coming along... Any update?
I haven't had another lesson yet but I have played a few rounds of golf and had some range sessions. The swing is incredibly frustrating and I have my good days and my bad. I need to schedule another lesson because I right now I think I am doing a hybrid of my old swing and my new one.

Well after a long hiatus due to the Morgan Cup I finally had a lesson today! It felt great to be out there, although I will admit I was a bit nervous since it had been so long since my last lesson. Here's what happened today (I am working on getting the videos):
The Good: My head is staying more still which was a huge problem I had when I first started, and my take away (arms part) is much better! I still have good hip movement on my downswing and I have, as my coach says, a tour like hing on my downswing. Those are all good things. But of course there is also bad.
The Bad: As great as it is that I have that 'tour' hinge on my downswing, I never unhinge which is why I am slicing my drives off the planet. My hands are so far in front of my clubhead that the club never has a chance to get back to square so it's open at impact and the ball goes dead right. I am still struggling with the straightening of my right leg during my take away but now that the arms are doing what they are supposed to do I can start focusing on my legs. He gave me some great pointers and drills which you will see in the video.
All in all I thought this was a great lesson and I am feeling a bit more confident in my game. One of the drills I am looking forward to doing is hitting the ball with my feet together to help with the hip turn and unhinging, it will actually help with both. Another is to lean against the armrest of my couch and make sure my hip never leaves the couch, if it stops touching then my hips are not turning properly. I like that this is a drill I can do at home.

GG, what have you noticed as far as your improvements versus your score? What I mean is that I have made a lot of improvements through lessons but notice my score does not reflect them right away for whatever reason. I am wondering if you are seeing immediate gains scorewise or if you are in the same boat I am, working hard and having faith you will see the results on your scorecard later.
