Well tomorrow im thinking of going to the driving range, and trying to get back to basics for fun.
I'll tape my swing, put it on here and see how it looks after not playing for a few months.

I'm going to try and get my stance narrower, well back to a normal distance as i usually get wide with my stance, try and have less movement, ie a consistant swing more than one for distance, and also get my tempo alot slower.

Im just going to see if there is a spark, maybe to get me back out playing social golf, as i havent even wanted to do that.

Also, im going to tape my putting stroke, willow off ISG suspeciously sent me an email asking how my golf was, and is going to have a look at my putting for me, so why not, ill post that here too.

So ill tape it, post it and we can all laugh ;)
Gotta do something when i have a day off because my guitar isnt ready :(

Who is Willow? Isn't she the chick out of 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'?

Anyway, somehow I have a feeling you'll get back into golf in a big way.

He is a pro, has a golf acadamy or something, good teacher i hear, anyway he offerd to look at my putting vids to try and get me to play again, he has a tough ask, and i doubt ill get back into comps, not what im setting out to achieve, just want to see whether i still got a little bit of the swing, and change it to a model swing for fun

Ok, here you go, me with driver, and 7 iron, hit it ok, worked on keeping my weight on my heels as i move forward towards the ball in the swing causing a push/slice.
head movement up and down getting better, still looks nothing like a 6 marker, oh well.

No putting stroke tapped, couldnt be stuffed doing it.

Sorry but both files download as "golf" and neither dvix viewer or winrar recognises the files. What gives?

Just rename the files to have a .wmv extension.

Okay, I watched them. My opinion is that you should keep golfing.

Thanks Ducky :)

Matt - Looks good and in more than one way reminds me off......don't shoot me....Jim Furyk. Especially from the 7 iron, you are close to the ball like Jim and you seem to make a few different moves that in the end leave you with a nice inside approach to the ball. Like Ducky says, keep playing.

I agree. He gets his hands very high at the top and drops them to the inside.

He would also look a bit like Jim Furyk if he had a button up shirt.

Just kidding!

:lol:

I can live with being furyk, but im working on that high hands thing ;)
No front views Toolish, maybe in a few weeks when i take more video, had some response from a pro, and he gave me a drill etc, will try and squeeze it in with uni starting back.

The advice I received to keep my hands down at the top was to keep the right arm soft to prevent lifting on the backswing. You'll find that if you do it successfully your right arm will fold in towards your right hip.

Too complicated, just picture Sergio in your mind and swing like him :)

i swung a club in the back yard this arvo, its funny, because i comeplete the backswing, then go up, i just need to keep my hands down, and i should be ok, ive always had the high hands, time to correct it, and all i need to do is feel like im not swinging back so far, done ;)

What about hitting off side hill lie with ball above your feet? Greg Norman used to do that when he was trying to flatten his swing.
