More... Turning...

I think when I first started playing golf I had a great turn – really killed it… but that’s the problem with bad golf lessons.  It was coached out of me so when I went to see my new pro she was like, uh, how do you hit golf balls?   So now I’m here practicing in my mirror to get that full turn back while keeping my weight on the inside of my right foot.  Seems easy but not as much as you would think… I think I naturally stand on the outside of my feet in everyday life so that doesn’t make it any better.  

Mirror work –

Loose grip loose arms – width of stance

60/40 feeling pressure on inside ball of right foot

Hinged take away

Full turn with weight transfer on right hip – not trying to keep my weight centered as I naturally tend to do.

Drill for this is to cross arms – right hand on left bicep and physically turn and pull upper body to the right.  Works quite well – can mimic that in the mirror so feeling better .

I will say however I’ve had some pretty horrible shots – some stuff like way the f right and some stuff way the f left – still also having issues blading chips and topping the ball.  I am however hitting my hybrids better than I was which is good news.   I think I just need more practice time.  I haven’t really played in a few days and the first thing I noticed right away was my putting.  Plus, with so many new things it’s difficult to remember everything when you go play and don’t have a chance to even hit ten balls before going out.
