    Met up with PD last nite in the range and I am very amazed the outcome after his playing lesson.

    Addam, thats an under, understatement!!! I would say his impact has improved 400 precent! He starts making a proper impact noise off the club face, with a much ideal trajectory (higher but still penetrating enough) and I would conservertively say at least 1 club longer than before if not 1.5 club.

    PD is a very fast learner too (probably something to do with Addam is a good teacher). With the amount of works they covered I would say I have hard time to consume it all in just 1 full day.

    Long story short, siginficant change with very significant improvement.

    I am happy for ya PD

    Addam, 2 things I would like to mention, and 1 thing I'd like to ask....

    1) PD still need "reminder" to square up his shoulder vs hip/leg. He will swing 5-6 times then go back to his gay old posture, stuff it up and wonder what he did wrong.

    2) Lets say if he has a correct setup. He tend to have a incorrect timing to release the club. (He release it waaaaay to early) which can produce chili dipper, or low hook/pull. I suppose time is running out and you guys didn't get to work on this timing thing long enough? IMO early release is part of the bad habit we developed when we had our hack swing.... which we need to release the club with full intention.... just to hopefully get the club face square and get a 1/2 decent impact. Its fairly hard to get rid of in a short period of time but with a bit of explantion and hard work from PD's side he will be on the right track in no time.

    3) If your next playing lesson with PD is on the weekend, can I join you guys? I am not trying to take advantage of free lessons/tips. I have my own things to work on anyway. It just that it will really helps to improve a lightyear ahead if you have a practice buddy. I will know what you want PD to works on, and when we practice together I can remind him what he did right/wrong. (Like yesterday I reminded him about the shoulder/leg alignment issue)

    PD I suggest you practice harder then now, preserve your handicap and join us in the next couple of big OZG days :-p

    I don't see any problem with it for the small fee of $350.00.

    Thanks Andy
    The early release of the club is a big problem with a lot of player's, The problem is when you release early you waste power. Alot of Pete's problem is that he overswings and then casts back So I want to work with him to shorten his back swing.
    When we shorten the back swing I am going to help him to create lag like the below picture's.( I had to get a top model in from europe to take these photo's)
    99% of early release is because of overswinging.
    The dave leadbetter pump drill is a great drill for this problem.

    Fantastic work Pete
    I hope you lost a few shots with that mate, With the changes so far it will take about 6 rounds and it will get better and better.

    Default Great Improvements

    Hi All
    I took the Unit out for a hit at Lakeside today and what a improvement in all aspects of Pete's game.
    His posture,grip,impact and setup was so much better, He hit some great shots today.
    It was super windy and on a few holes he had to aim so far away from the green.
    On the 6 th hole uphill 170 meter he hit it straight over the flag and into the bunker directly behind the flag.

    On the 7th hole 152 meter, pete hit a SUPER shot to about 6 inches into a gale of a wind and took my money.

    Here are a few shots of the day.
    We spent a few hours after working on the short game and changed pete's putter setup. His chipping was super at the end and I am not kidding when I say the greens there are running at around 11 on the stimp meter.
    On the 4th picture below , Pete had to aim over the tree on the right and hit a great shot but the wind took it left of the green. One thing todat every time pete hit a good shot he had a little draw.

    Well done mate, I am so impressed with your swing and how much you have practiced to get to where you are.

    Also I would wager $20.00 that Pete is going to take out the c grade club champs at his home track!!!!!!!!
    This Pic was of him on the last hole, again little draw pin high left of the green.
