The Turn

Worst.  Round. Ever.
Sunday at Comedy was my worst showing.  We finished +2 which would be on the surface not such a bad go but I actually fell over.  On hole 8 I went to hit my drive and I missed the ball (for the most part) and did a 360 and fell over.  It was awful.  I was so embarrased I cried.  I brushed it off as laughter but I cried.  I was in a bad mood all day stemming from all kinds of things but that was sort of the nail in the coffin.

Lesson two was the day before and actually was good.  My pro was very excited about how much my turn had improved from the week before so I'm looking forward to continuing to work on that.  We were going to work more on the release but I struggled so am focusing on the turn mostly this week until I get more used to it. I played a lot last week and this week it's been a struggle to get out.  I went to Skylinks to hit balls today and the ball machine was broke.  I got a half bucket and was basically told to go away and be happy with it.  Fine.

Need to work on sweeping the ground and out - was given two drills to work on once my turn is feeling more natural and I'm doing it consistantly.
- Reverse split grip doing a full swing - focus on turning the wrists to the ground
- Baseball swing on a flat plane - really working the wrists.

Focused on the fact the release actually starts at the top of the swing.  My arms are extending out both at the takeaway, down swing and after impact to the the finish which is reducing my swing speed significantly.  Need to get that hinge in play...Time to probably say "bye" to my ladies hybrid cause I'm gonna be back to my old swing crushing it.  She was impressed by my distance and thinks it will easily increase once I get this all figured out - and stop topping the ball.  While Sunday was a shit show the couple balls I did get to hit today were alright.  A few spraying around but once I get that impact zone locked in again I'll be fine.

Few last notes - when the balls go left with my swing it means the rotation isn't happening.  Good way to hook the ball.  Loose and relaxed is the key to sweet shots with good hinge.
Will try to get back out tomorrow after work before I workout - I hope the dumb ball machine is working.  Will try to play Hartwell again Thrusday to beat my old score.  Fingers crossed it doesn't rain Friday and  that brings us back to Saturday again!
