    However probably now and then old habits do creep back in but I can generally recognise this and try and do a few of the drills Jono gave me to try and correct it a bit. I think/hope I am somewhere between where Jono wanted and the old swing, probably due to my lack of flexibility and my inherent laziness (Jono's words, I just added inherent haha). I will definitely keep doing the drills (especially the sequencing one and the release/impact bag one) and see how the swing goes. Thanks Jono.

    PS I shot 85 around Shell Cove in a comp on Tuesday woo! Couldn't follow it up yesterday but at least I know I can do it.
    Hey Tony,

    Sorry about not posting up the video yet ... what can I say? I'm lazy.

    Great to hear that you are getting good results. I'll try to post up the video very soon.

    I thought he was 20 odd? I'm surprised he managed to leave the course alive!

    Just ripped a blister into my right ring finger today at the range. Probably from gripping too hard and I was getting a little sweaty. I'll probably see how it heals as I won't be hitting balls for the next few days, but any thoughts about switching from my current interlock grip to a varden/overlap grip? I noticed the blister with about 5 balls to go and switched to overlap but it feels foreign to me.

    Wasn't a great range session, even managed to sky my 3 fairway hybrid. Grrr.

    I also did it a couple of years after starting. A little frustrating for the first couple of games/practices, but soon became second nature.

    Based on this, I suggest trying the vardon grip with the putter on the carpet at home. That way you can concentrate on the feel and comfort, rather than where the ball goes.

    So you like the overlap alot more than the interlocking, or is it much of a muchness once you get used to it? Did you also change due to the same blister? Mine is just above the palm/knuckle and just before the first joint.

    I've just been trying to use overlap with a wedge so far. Hitting whiffle balls in the living room...

    I'd been off 25 for a couple of years, and my 2 marker brother suggested I change to the more common overlap.

    When I first played in school holidays, interlock was Nicklaus' grip and the easiest to show 12/14 year olds. I just kept it when taking up the game in my mid-20s.

    Never had a blister from golf, but never practiced that hard either.

    I got it from hitting <90 balls at the range!

    Cheers for that, I'll see how I go, if it's still sore for my next round next weekend I will try the overlap grip out on the course. Probably won't spray it any worse than I already do

    Had a lesson with the club pro today.

    He noticed that my swing was a lot stronger and faster - I was clearing the 150m range with 7 iron. My bad miss lately has been a bit of a pull draw so worked on that with the pro to get a more balanced/higher follow through position (something Jono probably tried to get me to do too!). The pro also thinks I should slow down the backswing tempo slightly as I have a tendency to snatch the club back on the backswing.

    +1, beast.

    The sooner you can get up here for a game at Glenmore, the sooner we can determine whether you'll be able to hit the green on the 9th with that same 7 iron.

    Took about a month off golf to complete my exams and first round back I was pull hooking driver pretty badly. Just went to the range today and it's still going left, but I've got it only going a little left as opposed to hard left. More work needed... might be time for that session with Jono

    Mate, if you are only going a little left, you are doing better than me.

    Haha I was going more than a little left last Sunday in my first round back after the month break. Range session yesterday was a bit better. I think I've reverted back to old habits + all that releasing the club stuff we worked on has = me smothering the ball hard left. I'll see how my round on Sunday goes, could be brutal as I'll be in the trees @ Kiama if I keep hooking it

    Reading back through this it's like any time I have a break from golf I come back and smother hook the bejeebus out of driver. What causes this? Anyone??

    Yep.

    think of it this way - what woudl you have to do to smoother hook a golf ball.

    Club has to be from the inside and you weight has to be going backwards through impact . . .

    Look up the Gary Player step through drill.

    Next problem ?
